Softsoap Moisturizing Body Wash, All Skin Types, Macadamia Oil and Peony, 20 fl oz Bottle

I like shower gels that moisturize and smell great, and this Softsoap Luminous Oils Macadamia Oil & Peony Body Wash fits the bill. I have previously used Softsoap's Coconut Scrub Body Wash, so I knew they made good shower products. I think I like this Luminous Oils wash even better. There's an Avocado Oil & Iris that I may want to try next. The Macadamia Oil & Peony smells more like peonies than anything else. The fragrance lasts a goodly while and thankfully is subtle enough that it doesn't clash with my perfume. I don't know if you can tell by the picture of the shower pouf, but the lather is very soft with small, creamy bubbles. It leaves the skin soft, not greasy. The picture of the bottle shows that the formula is actually quite clear. It's got a bit of an amber tint owing probably to the macadamia oil, but it is not opaque at all. I would recommend this product to anyone who likes a scented body wash. Especially if you like the scent of peonies.

I received this body wash to try - I have used Softsoap body wash prior to trying this one before. We have a water softener because our water has a lot of iron in it. Unfortunately for us our softener had a problem but luckily for whom ever is reading this, I tried this oil body wash without a softener and with so I can compare the suds and feel of this body wash. Without the soften water the Softsoap luminous oil body wash did suds up quite good. One small squeeze (about a quarter size) was enough to wash my entire body. The body wash has a nice pleasant smell and it left my skin feeling good. No residual soap feel was left on my body. With the water softened (as water softener was fixed), the body wash also suds up very well. Using the same amount as stated above, one small squeeze was all that was needed to wash my entire body. The smell of the Luminous oil macademia & peony is very nice. My husband even liked the smell - it does not overwhelm you in the shower or out. The soap does not cling to your body and washes away leaving the skin feeling very nice. My skin felt very velvety and smooth. All in all I think anyone who would try this product will like it very much. Pros -- Very nice smell Do not need very much to get a good suds in sponge or washcloth Washes away leaving body feeling nice - no residual soap feeling Body feels silky and smooth Cons -- Nothing
