essano Body Wash

i love this body wash. In a stylish brown bottle, the soap itself is quite thin in consistency, so I end up using six pumps instead of two. However, it delivers a good lather, which is light, but cleansing and doesn't feel drying. The stand out thing about this bodywash for me though is the smell. I adore fig scented things and was upset when Dettol only had a short run on that particular scented shower gel. This is the perfect replacement however. The scent is soft, and warm. Not overpowering and just divine.

Due to having sensitive skin I'm always on the look out for well formulated body washes that don't contain SLS or ALS so I was thrilled when I saw what Essano had to offer and at such a great price too!

This body wash is great value for 445 ml! One or two pumps from the bottle is all you need to lather up on a shower puff to do your whole body, so it will last a long time.

It has a very light, fresh, gentle scent that is just enough to make you smile, relax and say "time to wash the day away" (or for those ladies that shower in the morning "wake up sleepy head") without the exclamation marks that body washes tend to have with their sharp, powerful (often artificial) scents.

It left me feeling clean, refreshed and my skin moisturised afterwards. There was no lingering after scent too once it had been washed off.

This product smells great (fig and jasmine) it lathers well and is a generous size bottle. My 7 year old daughter likes it so much, she keeps stealing it from the shower to wash her hands in the bathroom. They only thing that annoys me is the pump keeps missing my hand when I squirt it. ( but I may just be unco)

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.

I first used this when staying with a friend and Oh My Gosh! It was love at first smell. Adore is absolutely beautiful, to me it smells like roses even though that's not how it's described. It's also a holy grail body wash in that it both cleanses AND moisturises. It's silky, with rich lush bubbles, and makes my skin feel amazing. Absolutely love this product and would highly recommend.

I have used the manuka honey one and you can definitely smell the manuka overall it has good suds and doesn't strip the skin but I prefer other body washes to this one. Good value

I purchased this as our regular body wash for the whole family. I absolutely love that this doesn’t have any nasties so it’s gentle enough for the entire family to use.

My favourite one of the range is the Adore - the scent is absolutely incredible. It lingers on the skin so every now and then you get a whiff of that delicious combination of Jasmine and Fig.

The pump dispenser is perfect for kids - you get only the amount you need with no spillage. Anyone with kids knows the frustration/danger of body wash left with the lid off and how slippery the shower floor is!!

The product is incredibly nourishing - it doesn’t dry the skin out at all. It takes a little getting used to as it doesn’t lather like some soap products, but that’s a good testament to how natural it is.

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 :)

I received the Manuka honey sensitive, Elderflower and Chamomile - Calm body wash in this range to trial.  The product comes in a good sized (445ml) pump bottle, which makes it super easy to use and keep in the shower, and overall the packaging of the product is really nice. The pump is of good quality so not likely to break accidentally either. I'm always a little skeptical with trying out new body washes as I find so many of them dry my skin out badly, however I had no issues with this happening using the Essano body wash, instead my skin felt cleansed but not stripped of hydration and dry. I was so pleased about this! The smell is really pleasant, I can definitely smell the manuka and a slight hint of the chamomile but it isn't overpowering, which is good as I'm not a big fan of chamomile. It definately has a calming smell to it, like it states on the bottle and it really is a nice body wash to use in the evening before bed.  One other thing I found great about this product was that it lathers really well, without drying my skin out. Alot of other body washes I have used that are sulphate free just don't seem to lather enough to actually cleanse the skin. But I think Essano have gotten the balance right with this product! The fact that it is also an organic and natural product is also a big plus as I do prefer to use and buy natural if possible, and NZ made as well. Overall a really lovely body wash, this one in particular is my go to evening one as it really is calming. I'm really looking forward to buying the others in this range and also trying them out. 

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.
