essano Body Wash

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this body wash and the timing of it''s arrival was perfect as I'd just run out of my usual thanks to my darling 3 year old and her need to copy everything I do. Now the reason I have titled this review family fave is because not only did I use it and have to share with my 3 year old but apparently my husband was using it too as he liked the smell!! The packaging for this is lovely, stylish and practical- pumps make life easy particularly if you're trying to supervise little people in the shower with you and the instruction of one pump is easy and literally saves your product from going down the drain. I had the manuka honey scented wash for sensitive skin and was pleased to read that this is also cruelty free. This body wash is lovely, it has a nice subtle scent and doesn't smell sickly sweet like some honey scented products can, it lathers easily in the hand or onto a loofah. A little goes a long way and the scent lingers on the skin- my 6 month old ended up covered in it a few times and she smelt lovely when I got her up in the morning! In terms on value for money I'm impressed and we've already bought another bottle for the second bathroom as it really is going to be our new tried and trusted was for ourselves and the girls.

What beautiful packaging , I love the natural , you know it's gonna be good for you look. A large amber plastic pump bottle , easy to read labeling , perfect. Straight to the point.

A clear fresh floral scent , the body wash is a clear gel.

It's very moisturising, we had no irritation and we in our family have 3 members with eczema. So that's awesome that no one reacted. Weren't itchy etc.

I love the fact it has healing manuka in it :) great for itchy sensitive types.

I would prefer the pump let out more product a one time but that's ok I used about 2/3 pumps on a bath pouf and it lathers really easily and rinses clean leaving you soft and refreshed.

I would definitely purchase again :) I would love to try the other fragrances :)

Made in NZ, this body wash is also cruelty and Palm Oil free, all of which are important to me when choosing products. It comes in a dark plastic bottle with a handy pump which makes it easy to use as well as looking pleasant. I used a loofah and found that two "pumps" were sufficient for my whole body. The lather is light and airy rather than thick. The fragrance is very light - almost undetectable, but I quite like that as it doesn't interfere with perfumes etc. My skin felt "clean" and soft after use and I had no issues with irritation or rashes. I will buy this again as it does what it claims (other than the very light fragrance) and is kind to my skin and my conscience

Any bodywash that comes in a pump bottle is always going to be a winner in my books. I was lucky enough to be given Calm as a gift. I don't have sensitive skin, but I could definitely feel the difference. So smooth on the skin. I have even used it on my face a few times with adverse reactions. The frangrance is sweet but subtle, really quite nice. Not too foamy, just 2-3 pumps on a loofah and you're golden.

The packaging is great, recyclable plastic bottle, dark colour, very unisex, therefore ideal for the family shower.

The scent is delicate, so again great for unisex use.

Easy to use pump dispenser, one pump delivers a decent amount, so a couple if pumps did half my body on both body brush and body puff, with plenty of lather.

Left my skin feeling soft and clean, not tight at all.

Would I use it again? Yes, but I do prefer something with more fragrance. Would I purchase it? Not for myself at that price, but I would consider it when looking for a gift for male or female.

I have enjoyed using this product, and would recommend it.

Packaging is good, classy, and the pump feature gives controlled amounts & possibly less waste.

The body wash itself, smells devine! I love it!! It is quite liquidy, and I find I like two pumps on my puff. Foams up well, and with these two pumps I can wash my whole body.

It is lasting quite a while, however the second pump it a bit tricky, as the pump does not rise very fast, so I end up forcing it up for my second.

Brilliant that this is a NZ product too, but this scent will make me purchase more!

I love Essano products and this one too. First of all because it is guilt free, natural and then smells really good. It may be bit expensive but lasts long and I love afterwards feeling of using it.
