The Body Shop’s Earth Lovers Shower Gels

Sulphate-free. Paraben-free. Colorant-free. I’m sure you’re aware by now that hearing your beauty products described as such is a good thing. You’ll be happy, then, to know that all three apply to The Body Shop’s Earth Lovers Shower Gels. These eco-friendly cleansers are designed to be entirely biodegradable (bottle included!) and are made from natural ingredients that won’t harm the environment, even when washed down the drain. They also come in delicious and creative fruit and herb fragrance combinations, although don’t expect to smell too much of the latter in any of them. The lather they produce is luxurious and rich and they’ll leave your skin feeling hydrated and fresh.

Here are my thoughts on the individual products of the line:

Apricot and Basil:

I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little sad that this smelled all apricot, with little to no basil involved. However, said apricot was very juicy and sweet, so I can’t be too unhappy with it.

Pear and Lemongrass:

Ripe, refreshing pear with a hint of fresh lemongrass.

Watermelon and Eucalyptus:

I was very sad that I couldn’t find any eucalyptus (which I love) in this. However, like with the apricot and basil, the watermelon was still very nice, saving the gel from being a letdown.

Cucumber and Mint:

This wasn’t as minty as I wanted, but it was as tingly and refreshing as one would imagine anything involving these two ingredients would be.

Fig and Rosemary:

Out of the bunch, this was the one where the “herb” ingredient was most noticeable and I gotta say, the combination was delightful. My favorite.

Lemon and Thyme: (Not Pictured)

I didn’t buy this one, but I did whiff it in the store. It was a little too “floor-cleaner” for me.

Final Verdict: Like it! 

PS- In case anyone's wondering why I post so many things from The Body Shop, I actually used to work for the company, plus I've been following the brand since I was a little girl. What can I say, I'm a  fan.
