I got a bottle of Nature Box Macadamia Oil Shower Gel in a previous Beauty Vault. The shower gel is packaged in a 385ml dark yellow 25% recycled plastic flip top bottle.
The shower gel has a pleasantly sweet, almost fruity yet slightly nutty smell. The scent is described on their website as being "oriental", with bergamot, macadamia and almond making up the top notes. Tonka, coconut milk and vanilla make up the heart notes, while musky and wood notes form the background.
It lathers up really well on a shower pouf and didn't dry out my skin. The consistency is good, it doesn't run out of the bottle, so it's easy to control how much is coming out, and it stays on the shower pouf without running through your fingers.
I do prefer to decant my shower gels into a pump style bottle (and keep and old shower gel bottle for this purpose), as I find I waste less if I'm able to put x number of pumps onto my shower pouf. It also means that I have the perfect amount of shower gel and don't end up running out of lather halfway through my shower. Or heaven forbid, the opposite, and have too much, which then ends up being wasted down the drain.
Made with 100% cold pressed macadamia oil, known to contain valuable vitamins and an antioxidant, this shower gel cleanses my skin without stripping it or leaving it feeling dry. It's paraben free, contains no artificial colourants, is pH skin neutral and dermatologically tested.
I really enjoyed using this shower gel from Nature Box, and I'm keen to try their Coconut-Oil Shower Gel next - I bet it smells amazing.
I think this is a really nice shower gel and I like the fact that it has natural ingredients. The smell is really nice and it foams up well. I did have to use quite a bit of product for it to foam up enough to cover my whole body. The packaging is simple, but nice and the bottle is a standard size that I expect with shower gels. The bottle didn't last me very long as I had to use a lot of product and my partner was using it as well (he said he liked it as well). My skin has been quite dry the last few months and this didn't dry my skin out. It left my skin feeling nice, clean and smooth.
I think I would repurchase if I seen it on sale. I think while it is very nice and appreciate that it has natural ingredients, I think $8 is a bit much for a shower gel that didn't last me that long compared to many other shower gels I've used. It was nice and left my skin feeling clean but it wasn't my favourite and I didn't rush to repurchase it.
