Palmolive Body Butter Peppermint Crush Exfoliating Body Wash Review

I bought this when it first came out. I was looking for a body wash that exfoliated at the same time and decided on this one. I thought the look of the bottle was really nice and sleek. The smell of this product was so nice I really loved the smell of it. As for the exfoliating I didn't feel them exfoliating my skin just felt like little annoying seeds you couldn't wash away. The bottle was terrible to get the product out of it was a huge struggle to stand there trying to squeeze the body wash out! I felt I had to leave the bottle upside down so I didn't have to struggle every time when trying to get it out! Overall the smell was great but not enough for me to buy this again.

Ever since these butter body washes came out I have been curious to try them out. This mint one is my first one that I have tried from this range. It can be found at any chain store or grocery stores. Palmolive is a brand that I grew up using. All of their products are mainly for care.

This body wash comes in a 400 ml bottle. It's a slender shaped bottle with the Palmolive branding on it. The texture of this shower butter is creamy and slightly gooey. It's white in colour with brown beads through it. It smells like mint. Not a very strong mint but subtle.

When I lather this product on it glides smoothly over my body. It has this cooling feeling. I can't really feel the beads exfoliating. I did enjoy this mild scent as I washed my body.

I was lucky to get this on sale at Countdown for four dollars. I thought it was good with application. I wouldn't buy it at it's full price but I would definately buy it again if it was on sale.

I am a huge fan of using a body wash over a soap. We have both packed into our showers as you know.. both handy at some point but for me I usually reach for a body wash.

I have used a few of the palmolive body washes in this range peppermint, the pomegranate and the passion fruit.

Also handy is the generous amount each in bottle - it has lasted me a loooooong time I only need a little and I find it lathers up so well. The bottle is a handy shape easy to grab in the shower not too fat that it slips through your fingers and not too heavy like some other “bulk” washes. For the price the amount you get is quite generous.

The lid can sometimes be quite hard to flip up and when product gets low you can be shaking the bottle a while to get the remainder of the wash out to use.

All the flavours I have used are quite distinctive in their own way which is handy - look and scent wise. The actual look of the bottle is ok.. I prefer the look of an amber pump bottle wash I am currently using as it is better looking in my shower and matches my soaps etc but it’s also not the worst looking wash in the world.

I have enjoyed the scents - probably the purple passion fruit one the most. They definitely smell as advertised so no disappointment there. This peppermint one reminds me of toothpaste or even better mint chocolate. Pretty delicious. It’s quite refreshing scent wise and love that it actually has real peppermint extract in it.

I do like that their beads are natural but find them quite sparse so I don’t think it actually exfoliated my skin at all. Not a necessity as I use a dry brush also but if I was purchasing this on the whim I would wash and exfoliate I would have been disappointed.

I absolutely love peppermint smelling products, so was very attracted to this new bodywash that Palmolive had recently brought out.

When I saw an opportunity to receive a trial size of this, I couldn't wait to try it!

When I received it in the mail, it was in a mini sized curved bottle - such lovely packaging and my first thought was that it would be a fantastic size bottle to keep for travelling.

Of course, as soon as it came in the mail I had to have a smell. Oh the smell is heaven, it has such a strong smell of peppermint! I couldn't stop myself from continually smelling this. Although, this bodywash hasn't been helpful to try to stop my peppermint chocolate pregnancy cravings!

The formula is quite a thickish, white consistency with exfoliating beads. The formula feels nice on your skin and makes you feel refreshed and clean. It feels gentle on the skin and the exfoliating beads are not noticeable at all.

Some Palmolive handwashes can irritate my skin, so I can be a little wary of their bodywashes, But, I found this bodywash gentle and non irritating even for my sensitive skin.

However, the bottle is not designed very well at all. After using it a few times it was very difficult to get the formula out. I squeezed and shook it, and it was time consuming to try to get the bodywash out. This has put me off buying a full size of this, as I don't expect using bodywash to be so difficult! So, I also will not be reusing the small trial sized bottle for travelling!

Overall, a lovely smelling bodywash that is also very moisturising. However, the packaging really lets it down.

I am a big fan of peppermint so when I found this product I had to try it. The scent did not disappoint it smells so delicious just like peppermint, very refreshing for using in the morning. However I didn't find that this product did everything it said it would, it was a thick texture with little exfoliating beads but it didn't exfoliate very well and didn't leave my skin feeling soft and smooth. I expected this product to leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth but it didn't do a lot. Apart from the amazing smell I don't think this product really does what it says it's suppose to.

I have driven my trolley past this so many times at the supermarket and have been tempted to put it in but every time I had that nagging voice telling me no way you have so many half opened and unopened shower gels you don't need more, until one day I just couldn't resist anymore.

The bottle is pretty simple it's a clear bottle so you can how much you have left, it's easy to grab in the shower as its an hourglass shape bottle. The lid is easy to open and close but it doesn't sit on the lid so yep you have to shake it a bit.

The actual shower gel is a white creamy colour with brown exfoliating beads in it. The exfoliating beads are very fine and they don't do a great job exfoliating my skin. My skin is on the dry side though and need a harsh scrub.

The scent is minty but not as minty as I thought (or maybe I expected original source minty-ness) anyway it's not strong. What it lacks in scent it makes up for in moisturising, my skin feels beautiful and soft after using it and I get away with moisturising for a couple of hours before turning into the dreaded crocodile skin look. I won't be repurchasing this again in a hurry Its nice but not amazing

I love a great body wash, it is the start of my day and its great if its a good one. Unfortunately this was not a great one. The smell was pretty good but as far as the exfoliating, I felt it really didnt do as much as others I have used. It was also super thick and it was a real work out for my hands trying to squeeze it out of a wet bottle in the shower. Overall a bit disappointing so I will be on the lookout for a different body wash.

Some mornings I need a little extra pick me so I'm always on the look out for shower products that will give me that lift. I came across this on my search for the perfect minty shower gel when I was in the supermarket. This smells so delicious, it really does smell good enough to eat! In fact, I can't even sniff this during the day as it just makes me want to eat chocolate mint slice biscuits. That is exactly what this stuff smells like.

The packaging itself is quite easy to grip in the shower as it has a 'waist' in the middle and the plastic is squeezable. However this product is so thick that it is hard to get out, especially when you get near the end of the bottle. Even storing the bottle upside down (not easy as it has a rounded cap) does not help. This is also supposed to be exfoliating as it contains 'natural seeds' but they do absolutely nothing. Of well, at least they're not plastic microbeads. My skin did feel soft afterwards but this was more to do with the cream texture than the seeds.

This was good for the price but (surprise, surprise) I prefer Lush shower gels so I won't be buying this again. It didn't give me that minty boost I was looking for so I'm just going to buy the mint slice bickies next time I'm in the supermarket instead!

First off, if you like peppermint then this is a product for you! I really like peppermint as I find it fresh and cleansing and the scent of this body wash does not disappoint. It is a strong scent but by no means overpowering.

Unfortunately though, it is not a product that I will repurchase. My main reason is that although I find the smell of peppermint fresh and cleansing, this product did not leave me feeling fresh and cleansed. I can't quite pinpoint exactly what it was (as I'm sure the product is formulated as any other body wash) but after using this body wash, it didn't feel as though I had washed- not that I smelt horrendous, it was more of a feeling. I think a part of this is that there is no lingering scent when you step out of the shower- this disappointed me.

I bought this as a full size bottle from the supermarket, unsure what I paid for it but I'd say it was on sale. I didn't have any issues with getting the product out of the bottle as mentioned by other reviewers (I must have got a lucky bottle).

I have super sensitive and problematic skin (prone to ezcema and dermatitis flare ups and reactions) so I generally only use natural soap bars that have only all natural oils to avoid irritation. I bought this to put in our shower for my partner as he is not a massive fan of the fruity smelling ones so I though a peppermint body butter might be up his alley and as I was almost finished by soap bar I thought I would try this to. I do like the look of the Palmolive Body Butter bottle but unforutanately practicality wise its not that well designed. You did have to squeeze it fairly firmly to get product out and sort of half way through the bottle it became near impossible to get anything out of it. The only way you would get to use up all of this product is by turning it upside down but unfortunately its lid design doesn’t allow you to do that without some assistance. You would risk a bit of wastage with this product. I did love the smell of this , peppermint always smells so clean and fresh and both me and my partner were really happy in this regards. It had quite a thick consistency which I actually really enjoyed it definitely felt more like a body butter than a body wash so I was very happy with this. The little beads for exofialtion were very small and gentle on the skin which as it said did leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth. It didn’t cause me any irritation or problems which was a bonus. I probably wouldn’t buy this again only because of the difficulty in getting this product out I think if they redesigned it to be a hanging upside down type of one I would definitely be interested in purchase again. I also probably wouldn’t recommend for the same reason above – too much product wastage.
