If you like the smell of geranium (as I do) you will LOVE this (as I do)! We read a lot about handmade natural soaps but there aren’t many handmade natural body washes for those who prefer using liquid soap (as I do \ud83d\ude1b ).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This Geranium Body Wash<\/strong> is the first natural handmade body wash<\/a> by Indochine Natural<\/a>. The packaging is sleek and simple and everything you need to know is on the single label.<\/p>\n I like my handmade soaps but I’m more into body wash so trying this was a treat. The body wash foams up satisfyingly and you don’t need very much to get clean. In fact, the instructions on the bottle tell you to “Use a small amount” and you get very clean in the shower. Point to note: There is no sodium laureth sulfate nor parabens in the ingredient list since its supposed to be natural (thought the “natural” label made it clear but perhaps I should mention it anyway)<\/p>\n The scent is strong but I love the smell of geranium so I’m happy with it. It leaves my shower smelling lovely after use and it calms me down at the end of a long day so I feel more relaxed before bed.<\/p>\n I also like that it is non drying. I don’t leave the shower feeling like I have to moisturize or crack. That’s good news for lazy people like me who tend to not use body lotion regularly. I tried using it as a shampoo as well and I must report that it works just as well – perhaps a little drying for the hair but used once in a while or at a pinch, its great.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did I mention how lovely it smells?! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n You would do to pay attention to the label that tells you to “Shake before use”. When I shake it up, the body wash comes out watery but if I don’t, it comes out like a gel mixed with water. I think the shaking of the bottle breaks up the gel. This extra step doesn’t bother me.<\/p>\n After about a months use, I do find the smell of the underlying oils getting a little stronger. Perhaps this can be addressed by the company in future? Or this might just be a natural occurrence since its a natural product.<\/p>\n A 250ml bottle of body wash is priced at RM26. <\/strong>Not overly pricey to me. Only problem is, you can only get it at very selected places where Indochine Natural is sold.<\/p>\n Pros: <\/strong>Non drying, Lovely scent, Natural, Relaxing, Cleans well, Affordable<\/p>\n Cons: <\/strong>Not easily accessible at time of writing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Indochine Natural is a Malaysian brand that makes handmade natural soaps mainly for export. I love supporting local ventures and I do hope to see more of the brand in more accessible locations or online in the near future. I hope they come up with more yummy body washes too! I’ll be sure to repurchase when I’m done with this one because this one just works for me – a good night’s sleep is testament to that! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n They do soaps too.
