Adore-able

I got this product in a BBBE. I like Essano products so I was happy to try this body wash.

It comes in a 445ml brown pump bottle. I've been using it for a while and haven't had any issues with the pump to date.

The product is clear and thickish. It lathers very well by rubbing my hands together then rubbing all over myself.

The scent? mmmm! It is gorgeous. It smells similar to other Essano rosehip products but not as strong and definitely more pleasant. It stays on my skin for quite a while after showering, which I really like. And my skin feels clean, with no drying. It claims it will leave skin feeling soft, refreshed and nourished, and it does this very well.

All up a very good product and one I recommend. I also have it in Calm, which I haven't tried yet, but look forward to trying.

I've just started using the manuka sensitive body wash. It is very nice too but I miss the lovely scent of Adore.

Nz Made, natural product and recyclable

This product ticks all the ethical issues but yet comes in such pretty packaging which being pump you dont over use so lasts ages so is economical as a added bonus.

I love this product so much I'm onto my third bottle. I get the jasmine one each time which has the signature Essano fragrance I love. The coconut one is lovely too which I must try. The scents are very girly so keep my husband away which is handy!

The shower gel itself is clear but non drying like a creamy verison. It doesnt over foam but foams as much as you need.

Definitely a excellent staple product that supports kiwis!!!

Tips: Buy in gift packs from The Warehouse for serious value. Also a excellent gift for those difficult to buy for!!

The bottle can be repurchased for a pretty hand wash if you refill with your favorite handwash. Ecorestore or Dove nourishing are my personal favorites.

I Love the smell

I was going through a phase in my life where i was buying a lot of products with coconut smells & ingredients. I love this product! Smells lovely i would recommend this product. I used it after every shower, and the lotion would last on my skin for a day. Smells amazing! That stayed around for a day as well. If you have really dry skin, i would recommend looking at a more thicker lotion that contains Urea. How ever this product is great for applying on before catching up with a few friends or seeing family it leaves you smelling great!

Tips: Apply after every shower or when you feel like you have dry skin or as a perfume.

The best body wash I have ever used!!! :)

I love, love, love this body wash!! Just had to get that out first................................

I was very lucky to be chosen to review the Adore Rosehip Oil Repairing Body Wash with Jasmine & Fig - beautiful.

The bottle is a very good size, I love the colour and the branding/writing, very cute and stands out. I love that it is made in good ole NZ and is free from nasties, very important to me.

The pump is easy to use, dispenses a good amount - it is fairly runny as it is more of an oil than a cream but that's ok as it is in a pump so you don't have to worry about tipping too much out.

I actually used this first time in the bath instead of the shower and OMG the smell firstly is divine, it made the whole bathroom smell sooooo good - my 4 year old daughter even commented on how nice is smelt :) I think I pumped 3 pumps into the bath while it was running and that was plenty. As soon as I hopped into the water the body wash coated my skin and it immediately felt softer! Really, it was actually quite amazing how it made my skin feel straight way! I could smell it on my skin and it still felt so soft for hours after I got out of the bath, a wonder product for me.

I have also used it in the shower and it is fantastic, you only need probably 2 pumps, it doesn't lather quite as much as most body washes, probably due to the fact that it doesn't have the usual chemicals etc in it, but as it is more of an "oil" rather than a cream it doesn't matter.

I am sold on this product - even my partner loves it and wants to buy it :) This is definitely on my list to buy when this bottle runs out (which I think will be a while away, so it's definitely value for money).

Brilliant product!!! Can't say enough positives about it! :)

Tips: Nope, just use it lavishingly!!

Adore Adore

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!

Environmentally Friendly Washing

I've used a lot of Essano products over the last few years because they are a reasonably affordable supermarket brand, with better for you natural ingredients and New Zealand made, all things I like to have in skincare products.

The Essano body wash isn't the cheapest on the shelf (but not too expensive), but it's one that when I use it I feel like I'm making the more environmentally conscience choice.

The scents are nice and aromatic in the shower and the pump bottle is a good size. While I would still consider other brands of body wash (because I'm a product floozy), this is a choice I would definitely return to time and time again.

Adore with Jasmine & Fig

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.

Gentle, heavenly, relaxing

I'm currently on my fourth repurchase of this body wash because I love it so much! I own it in the scent 'Jasmine and Fig'. The body wash comes packaged in a beautiful brown tinted pump bottle that's so pretty, I usually end up reusing for handwash. The shower gel is thick and clear in colour. The Jasmine and Fig scent is heavenly, and has an aromatherapy sort of vibe to the scent. I normally find floral shower gels smelly granny like, but the jasmine and fig scent is unique and musky, but not granny like. (I'm in my early twenties and I find it young enough for me!). The scent is strong enough to linger on my skin after a shower. I have quite sensitive skin and I find this body wash so gentle, and calming to use. A little goes a long way and this lathers well, I've been on my current bottle for about 5 months despite using it twice a day, so this lasts forever! I also love that this is cruelty free and New Zealand made. I'd happily continue to repurchase this product.

Adore Rosehip oil body wash

I just Adore this body wash!! And it's made in NZ so fantastic. I love that it is free of the nasties like parabens, sulphates etc. And these days I do read what the ingredients are in the products I'm putting on my skin, and why would you put something questionable on your skin when there are lovely products such as this on the market that do the job just as well. I am a rosehip oil fan so was thrilled to be trialling a body wash made from rosehip oil. This body wash lathers well so I felt I covered my body using a couple of pumps (I'm not one that uses a cloth) and felt this body wash worked well in my hands. I so agree with what they have written on the bottle, your skin feeling soft, refreshed and nourished. My skins doesn't feel stripped of moisture so I'd say gentle on the skin. I've got dry skin and this body wash has a moisturising effect perfect for my type of skin.

Tips: I see they have a range of body washes I'm keen to give them all a try!

Nicer than expected

While I did find it to be a pretty standard body wash, it did have a few extra pros. For starters it's cruelty free which is important to me and so many others. The jasmine scent wasn't too strong at all, which was good for me as I'm not a huge fan of jasmine. It just smelt kind of sweet and floral. It was a soft gel which is my personal preference for body wash. One tiny thing, which is by no means a deal breaker, was the pump would stick in the pushed down position quite often and not pop back up by itself and I would have to do it. As I say, not a deal breaker for me, but just something to note. It left my skin feeling nice and soft, not greasy at all and it wasn't a pain to wash off or anything. Pretty stoked with this product!

Please report the faulty pump to Essano, via the "product feedback" section on the contact us page on their website. I also have a faulty pump on my bottle of Adore body wash and Essano needs to be made aware that their packaging is faulty.
