As a body wash this product fails for me. Format is thin clear gel like which doesn't foam up and does not work as a soap/wash. Wasn't absorbing into skin in shower.
I don't use my one as a body wash but do as a hand wash.
The Rosehip & Jasmine variety smells so so lush, lingers just the tinnest time and non drying. The 445ml pump bottle will last.
Fail but not fail, lucky for me. Probably won't buy again.
Tips: Use as a hand wash.
I have the rose essano body wash it is really nice, great smell. Only flaw is that its to watery and it slides through you're fingers before you can even begin using it, so I like this product but I just wish it was thicker.
To start off, I really like the packaging of the body wash. I'm a true lover of big pump bottles as I think they're super convenient and last a lot longer due to the size. Unfortunately when this product arrived to me it had leaked, but I can't be sure whether this was a packaging issue or just a not-so-gentle courier driver. The body wash itself is a clear, gel-type consistency. I think it's really nice, it lathers up quite well and a little bit does go a long way. It had quite a gentle scent which I think is great as I don't really like to be overwhelmed by the smell of a body wash, it's sort of a gentle rose smell which I quite enjoy. Although I didn't find this body wash to be any more moisturising than any other normal body wash, which is technically claims to be (lightly moisturising is what the bottle says), it didn't strip my already very dry skin, which I see as a bonus. All in all I would definitely repurchase this body wash! It's nice and simple and I found it really nice to use.
I’ve used a couple of different versions in this range now. I feel they have slightly overdone the natural flavour aroma though, as the rosehip scent is very strong and a little woody, it reminds me of my Grandad’s garden, which whilst nice, I don’t necessarily want to smell like that all day. It does lather up nicely, and the rosehip one did help my forearms which get a little dry from more sun exposure than other areas. I think it would make a nice addition to a gift basket as well as it’s a very presentable package. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it in the store though sadly.
I received this as a gift after baby number 2 and while i love the smell and idea it sadly didn't provide enough moisture for me. It left my skin smelling nice and i liked that i just didn't like the dry feeling it also gave me. Its good packaging and looks good in the bathroom but its just one for the hubby to use now. Maybe i will try another flavour?
I was lucky enough to get onto a Beauty Review trial team, and was sent a bottle of Essano Adore Body Wash with Jasmine & Fig.
It's a full sized, generous 445ml bottle with a pump applicator that makes it really easy to dispense the perfect amount of body wash onto a shower pouf, without wasting any product, although the dark brown plastic bottle does make it a little bit hard to see how much product is left if the bottle, unless you hold it up to a window or light.
The smell of Adore body wash is not what I was expecting. I did expect Jasmine & Fig, so I was thinking that it would be quite a sweetly scented body wash with maybe the heady undertones of Jasmine that you tend to smell on a hot summer's night, but boy, was I wrong! I find the scent of this to be quite masculine, it has a very musky, almost smokey smell that isn't bad, it just took a little while to get used to, as it was completely opposite to what I expected.
I find that the scent of Essano Adore Body Wash tends to linger on my skin for hours after rinsing it off and I even get little whiffs of it the next morning. I find that a few pumps onto my shower pouf provides a nice lather, but I wouldn't describe the lather as rich or luxurious, it does foam nicely and is very gentle on my skin.
The best thing about this body wash is that it's free from parabens, sulphates, silicones, phthalates, ethoxylates, PEGs, PPGs, GMOs, mineral oils, and animal testing. So, there's no nasty stuff that goes into Essano's body washes. It's also contains certified organic Rosehip Oil, along with active mountain botanicals, which are then infused with the scent of Jasmine & Fig.
I doubt that I'd buy a bottle of Adore Body Wash with Jasmine & Fig, purely because the scent wasn't what I was expecting, but I am keen to try "Bliss" with Frangipani & Paw Paw, once I run out of this one, just to see what that scent is like.
Tips: Use it on a shower pouf to get a nice lather.
Update - 24/05/2017: I've been using this body wash for a week and now the pump has stopped working properly. It's so frustrating! I can still get the body wash out the bottle, as the pump does depress, the problem is that it then gets stuck and won't come up again. I have to try juggling the bottle in one hand, shower pouf in the other, and try to manually pull up the pump while dispensing product. Not easy when I'm standing in a shower.
I've had to take points off my inital Review for this, as this is not the first time an Essano product has had a faulty pump. I bought their gentle foaming face wash and had a faulty pump in that bottle, too.
I doubt I'll be purchasing a bottle of their "Bliss" variant, as it seems like there is definitely a problem with Essano's pump bottle packaging.
Second update - 15/06/2017: After contacting Essano's marketing team about their faulty packaging, Essano have sent me a replacement bottle of the "Adore" Body Wash and asked me to send the faulty bottle back to them, so that they can test the packaging and try to find out what the problem is. Essano paid for and arranged courier pick-up of the faulty bottle, all I had to do was sit around waiting for the courier to arrive. Thanks for the replacement body wash, Essano, and for being willing to take back and test the faulty product to find a solution. It shows that customer feedback is valued and is important to you.
Due to having sensitive skin I'm always on the look out for well formulated body washes that don't contain SLS or ALS so I was thrilled when I saw what Essano had to offer and at such a great price too!
This body wash is great value for 445 ml! One or two pumps from the bottle is all you need to lather up on a shower puff to do your whole body, so it will last a long time.
It has a very light, fresh, gentle scent that is just enough to make you smile, relax and say "time to wash the day away" (or for those ladies that shower in the morning "wake up sleepy head") without the exclamation marks that body washes tend to have with their sharp, powerful (often artificial) scents.
It left me feeling clean, refreshed and my skin moisturised afterwards. There was no lingering after scent too once it had been washed off.
Tips: Bed Bath and Beyond sell the best shower puffs. You can often get them on special for around $2 and they last for ages. They lather up any body wash you choose to use really well. Unfortunately their choice of colours is limited.
Essano Calm Manuka Honey Sensitive Body Wash has been a nice trial to undertake. I always enjoy trying new products available at the supermarket, which could potentially become a regular item in my routine. This body wash comes in an economical size bottle with a good quality pump. You could reuse the bottle for other things if so inclined. The liquid is a very light greeny yellow and is somewhat runny, compared to others which can be gloopy. In the shower I found I needed a full squirt to generate lather for most of my body, which seemed normal. The lather is very nice and silky. It's easy to create the lather whether using your hands or a shower scrubber. The body wash does not seem to strip my skin of oils, and doesn't feel tight afterwards. It's easy to wash off and doesn't leave a residue. The only failure of this wash was the fragrance. It's a nice light and gently floral smell, but once you've made the initial lather the smell becomes very faint. I do like the smell, I just wish there was more of it. In this trial my husband also participated and his comments were that he liked the way it lathered but preferred the incumbent body wash which had a more lingering floral scent. In conclusion, it's a good product but for this house we'll normally get something with a stronger fragrance.
Tips: You'll like this if you enjoy a natural type body wash with a light scent.
I received this in a wee pack as a Christmas gift and was excited to try it. I got it in the rosehip scent which I generally enjoy and was excited to use it.
The packaging is really nice, it's a step above your basic, cheap body wash cartons and looks more luxurious.
Unfortunately, although it looks better, I don't really think the product is better. Firstly, there seems to be something sort of faulty with the pump on mine. Once opened it's really hard to press down and doesn't pump out much product. While I try not to use too much body wash, I need a bit more than half a pump.
The product itself I wasn't overly impressed with. It does smell quite nice and the rosehip scent is not overpowering which is great. But I find that it doesn't lather up particularly well and didn't feel that great on my skin.
In aummary, to me it's just another basic body wash, nothing to rave about and comparable to cheaper body washes on the market.
Product used during showering, caused skin to break out in big red patches which felt like burns. The product used coconut and frangipani. This is the first time any shower gel has done this to my skin so it is the ingredients in the shower gel, not my skin. The purchase was not worth going to work with red patches on my neck, face and arms.
Tips: Would not recommend for anyone with sensitive skin.
