As part of a gift set of Boots Extracts products I received for my birthday some months ago was a miniature version of the Almond Body Wash. I'm not especially brand loyal when it comes to body washes/shower gels so am willing to give most things a try, although admittedly, if the purse strings would allow it, the Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily would be a permanent fixture on my bathroom shelf! I tend to purchase shower gels more for their smell than anything else as there are very few out there that astound me with their ability to radically soften and moisturise my skin like most of them claim to do (although Nivea Cashmere Moments is one that does stand ...  Read the complete review

At Christmas I tend to get a mountain of body washes that tend to last me almost a year, which I now appreciate so much more as a student. Having tried so many a thought I would share my experiences of some of the products I received. One of the ranges I have tried a lot of is the Boots Extracts range, which are made from only Fairtrade ingredients and the almond oil is 100% organic, giving it an added advantage. The product also contains shea butter, which is a well known ingredient for really good moisturising properties. The product has a really pleasant smell, similar to marzipan, which you can smell in store before you buy to see if you like it (I don't ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the Boots Extracts Fairtrade Almond Body Wash, which is one of the products within the Boots Extracts range. I have also reviewed the Boots Extracts Fairtrade Mango Body Wash. Both washes are made using Fairtrade ingredients. The natural almond oil used in the wash is 100% organic. The oil is blended with shea butter which has really good moisturising properties. The butter is also used in many of the complimentary body butters in the Boots Extracts range, including the matching Almond Body Cream. ********************************************************* Extracts Almond Body Wash is very fragrant and reminds me of the ...  Read the complete review

I got this tube in a gift set in the sale at Boots. I had never tried this range before and didn't know really what to expect. Ingredients Boots claim this contains Fairtrade certified ingredients as the almond oil it contains is organic and sustainably sourced. Of course this can only be a good thing and probably why it is a bit more expensive than other body washes. Packaging: It comes in a plastic 200ml tube and stands on the cap which has a flat bottom. The cap clicks open but does have a tendency to stay ajar a little bit when you flick it closed. As I then throw it back into my sports bag when I am finished with it this is a ...  Read the complete review

For Christmas I was given a gift set from Boots with body wash and body butters. One of the body washes was the Extracts Almond Body Wash. I have such a huge stash of toiletries which I am working through and it has taken until May for me to try this wash out! The body wash comes in a tube, it is a clear tube with a label around it and has a lilac cap. The photo on the tube is of a stem on an almond tree and and the fair trade logo is clearly shown in the front of the tube, it also states that the almond oil used in the product is organic and the honey used is fair trade. The body wash is a creamy colour and is a nice consistency - I hate really ...  Read the complete review
