Not only does solid bodywash use less packaging and require less water to produce, they are also one of the easiest eco swaps to make. Like all Ethique products, our bodywashes are made of biodegradable, sustainably sourced, naturally-derived and palm oil free ingredients. Does this impact the effectiveness of the wash? No way! Our bars are still deliciously bubbly and non-drying and we just know you'll love them.
Lavender without the overly floral note as the Peppermint livens it all up a little, without being too overpowering. Delicious!
Product reviews...
I have been trying to find a good solution to chemical based body washes. Facebook keeps suggestion Ethique so I had a look at the website but was a bit put off by the price (I was originally looking at the shampoo bars) but was eventually convinced to have another look. I find that the liquid body wash gets used up really fast so I was interested in seeing how this would compare, my kids told me that they would prefer not to take part in the experiment.
I opened the box and noticed that the bar smelt good enough to eat, I sure could smell the peppermint. The bar was a good size and a vibrant colour. The box had very clear instructions. The bar lathered up really well and I hardly had to use any to get a good amount of bubbles which smelt really strongly of peppermint. I was a bit worried that I would have a strange reaction but I didn't need to worry, I could go the whole day without any rash or itches but with a slight smell of peppermint.
I used it in the shower with a face cloth and it performed really well. a good amount of lather and bubbles and I could wash and clean myself to my satisfaction. I tried it with a shower sponge (the funny thing that you use in the shower to clean yourself when you don't want to use a face cloth) and found that it cleaned well and felt great but it washed out the "sponge" to easily so I struggled to get a good body coverage when washing myself.
I would use this again, I loved the smell and feel of it. I did last noticeably longer than the liquid body wash but I'm not sure I can convince my children to change over as they said it looked too much like a bar of soap.
