I have very sesnitive skin and for the last ten years I have only used one brand of organic shower gel and not one product has convinced to change...until now. I love this organic body wash. Tons of mosturizing suds that did not leave a film on my skin or cause any sort of reaction. It works equally as well straight from the bottle, but I did add the recommended saline solution to thicken it up so the kids wouldn't waste too much in its original liquid form. Still playing with EO's, it seems to take a couple of weeks before the scent really takes hold...so far a blend of peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender and orange is the family favourite. I will definitely be ordering this product again, and am so pleased that organic products are becoming more and more available.

This is an excellent product. It lathers well and I have not found any issue with separation. However, because it is not as thick as shower gel, it does not seem to hold high note essential oil aromas as long, so it is important to blend the essential oils with a base note essential oil before adding it to the body wash base. I have added crushed dried mint and lemon verbena leaves into it, which does not work as well with the shower gel base, and it gives it a very earthy natural look. Each product has it's uses and this one is just stellar!

I wish I had read the the prior review before purchasing this product. It doesn't lather good and it does have a unpleasant scent to it. If salt is not added it is extremely runny. I won't be purchasing again.

I love the idea of a body wash without the harsh detergents. I find this product has a strong smell that requires extra essential or fragrance oils. It definitely is thin, so be prepared to add salt. It's not my favorite.
