Botanic Hearth Oat & Niacinamide Body Wash | Moisturizing & Skin-Nourishing Shower Gel | Sulfate & Paraben Free | for Women & Men | 245ml

This smells like washing up liquid

This body wash has a delicate pearlescent creaminess with an opaque, silky texture and a soft lavender hue, which makes it feel inviting even before use. The fragrance is calming yet subtly uplifting, with a gentle blend of herbal and floral notes that feel natural and soothing, helping to ease away the stresses of the day. The pump mechanism works smoothly, with no sticking or fuss, making it easy to dispense just the right amount. The body wash itself feels light and silky during application, creating a soft, creamy lather that feels comforting on the skin. Unlike overly foamy alternatives, the lather has a luxurious density, offering quite pleasant cleansing experience. It rinses away easily, leaving no residue or unpleasant slippery or sticky sensation. I experienced no irritation while using it, and what I appreciate most is that it leaves my skin feeling soft and cared for, rather than stripped of its natural oils. In terms of cleansing, it is effective without feeling harsh—something my dry and sensitive skin does value. It also offers gentle exfoliation, helping to smooth and brighten the skin by removing dead skin cells without being abrasive. That said, daily use of even a mild exfoliating wash feels too much for my skin, so I find using this twice a week works perfectly to keep my skin smooth to the touch. From my experience, this body wash feels comfortable and gentle, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and nourished. That said, I always perform patch testing with any new product on a small area first, just to be sure of my skin's tolerance—it is a simple step worth taking.

Good product just a bit pricey

This bottle of body wash comes with a screw top cap as well as a plastic bung in the top for safe delivery, but there is also a pump dispenser for you to attach for use that is long enough to get to the bottom of the bottle. The plastic bottle has instructions for use and ingredients list on it. It is a large bottle containing the unusual amount of 473ml of the liquid body wash. Lavender and Ylang Ylang are two of my favourite scents so I was interested to see how they would smell together in a product. The product does not smell unpleasant, but it is hard to detect the fragrances listed and it basically just has a basic soapy smell to me. Fortunately, I do have some essential oils that I can add to this to give the level of scent that I want, and I have not had any adverse reactions to the product. It does contain very small black round balls that I would prefer not to be in the body wash.

I ordered the Botanic Hearth Bulgarian Lavender & Ylang Ylang Body Wash for myself and my husband to use in the shower. We both like lavender and ylang ylang, and were curious to see how these fragrances work together. The product arrived neatly packaged and in very good condition. The body wash comes in a nice large size of 16 fl oz which should last for several weeks. I love the fact that the product has many naturial ingredients and is sulphate and paraben free. The Bulgarian lavender has a lovely strong aroma which perhaps slightly overshadows the ylang ylang. The texture of the body wash is smooth and not too dense with small black exfoliating beads. It doesn't lather that much when applied to a sponge or cloth, but the product does leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated for longer. The bottle disappeared from our downstairs bathroom and my husband admitted to wanting to try it out. He suggested that it is "really lovely" which is quite unique for him to openly give any feedback. One of the aspects of the product that I like the most is the long lasting fragrance. With most products, you wash and immediately it smells lovely in the moment but then it's gone. The scent and aromas from the Bulgarian lavender and ylang ylang body wash do linger and not in an overpowering way, just a constant reminder of a calming and relaxing experience. Overall, a great quality product priced competitively against similar products on the market.
