Newest Review: ... as a standalone (replacing shower gels) but I didn't want to disrupt my normal shower routine with this alien product so I'd ... more

 ... use the scrub first, then my normal shower cream. It does have a rather strong but pleasant papaya scent (not artificial but from the fruit extract) and a milder lime undertone; aloe vera and bamboo extracts are also listed as ingredients but I couldn't really notice their smell. The product has a texture of a light shower gel and it's exfoliating and polishing power comes from the bamboo (and walnut I suppose?), but I find the density of the bamboo to be way too low and therefore insufficient for a good 'scrub'; it...more

Original Source Papaya, Aloe Vera & Bamboo Scrub: What a scrubber! (403 words)

I love the Original Source products, my favourites are the Lime Shower Gel (smells like Lime Jelly Babies!) and the Lemon Shower Gel (smells like Lemon Meringue!) so when I was on a mission to find a body scrub and saw that Original Source made one I grabbed it and rushed to the till as fast as my little legs could carry me... The scrub contains papaya fruit, aloe vera and bamboo. The papaya fruit is supposed to have moisturising qualities, the bamboo is a natural exfoliator, and the aloe vera plant has soothing and skin repairing properties, so this promises to be a good product. To tell the truth, I'm not quite sure what a papaya smells like but ...  Read the complete review

I have used two scrubs from Original Source so far - the bitter orange one which I loved and the seaweed one which I hated, so I truly had no idea what to expect from the third of their scrubs I have purchased, the 'Papaya fruit, Aloe Vera and Bamboo Moisturising Body Scrub'. The scrub comes in a clear tube through which you can see the off-white coloured scrub which is peppered with small brown grains. It has a flip top lid, which makes it easy and convenient to use (no trying to screw a lid back on with wet hands!) and it says that this scrub will achieve 'a perfect polish'. It also tells me that the scrub is moisturising, which is great for me as I have ...  Read the complete review

Original Source Papaya Fruit Aloe Vera and Bamboo Moisturising body scrub is a really great product. I usually purchase mine from Boots, but is available in loads of main stream shops like Tesco and Superdrug. It usually costs around £2.75, but I usually get it when it is on offer. Original Source state that you can indulge your senses with Papaya fruit extract known for its moisturising properties. Bamboo to naturally exfoliate and extract of Aloe Vera known to help soothe and repair your skin. This can be used instead of shower gel, and is easy to apply, just massage into the body in a circular motion, making sure to rinse thoroughly after use ...  Read the complete review

I tend to use body scrubs quite sparsely but having noticed some blotchy sections on my upper arms I decided it was time to buy one again. I came across Original Source in Tesco at the weekend. They currently have an offer of BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free) or just over £2.00 per item. I decided I would give Original Source a go as I had heard a lot of good things from this site about the natural ingredients and the actual products doing what they set out to. I bought one of these and one of the Detoxifying scrubs. The bottle is a clear plastic tube that has the opening at the bottom which is always good as it means you can squeeze every last bit out when it ...  Read the complete review

Original Source Papaya, Aloe Vera & Bamboo Scrub: A gentle, fruity body scrub (300 words)

I found this body scrub in my local 99p store. I had used and been impressed with Original Source products before, so I decided to give it a go. At 99p it is a bargain, because it usually retails at around £2.75 in the likes of Boots or the large supermarkets. This body scrub is made with papaya fruit extract, which is said to be moisturising. It also contains aloe vera to soothe and repair skin, whilst very small pieces of bamboo are included to exfoliate. Original Source advise you to use the scrub in place of shower gel for a "perfect polish". The body scrub comes in a 200ml clear plastic tube. It has a very solid and secure ...  Read the complete review
