Disadvantages: Little expensive

---Why I Tried this---

I love fruit fragrances and decided to try this peach one after finding it while browsing the Body Shop website.


---Body Shop Brand---

The Body Shop was founded i the 1970s by Anita Roddick but has now been taken over by L'Oréal.
From their website - 'The Body Shop has always believed passionately that animals should not be used for cosmetic testing. We have never tested our products on animals. Similarly, we insist that all our suppliers have not tested their ingredients on animals for cosmetic purposes.
We're incredibly proud of our dedication to this issue, and our global campaigning against cosmetic animal testing. The EU banned animal testing for finished cosmetic products in 2004, and for ingredients in 2009.'


--Body Shop Shower Gel--

Comes in a 250ml clear plastic bottle.
According to their website 'A beauty classic returns. This soap-free bath and shower gel leaves skin clean and subtly fragranced with the scent of peach'.
This is the only Peach item on their website at present so I am not sure if they will be re-introducing more.


---Ingredients---

A long list of ingredients is shown at the end of this review but they also mention Community Fair Trade organic aloe vera and peach extract.


---Appearance---

This comes in a clear plastic bottle and is an attractive tangerine/pumpkin colour - or if you prefer -'peachy'.


---Price---

£4 for 250 ml bottle.
However you can often find discounts on the Body Shop website - and I presume in the store as well.


---Availability---

From any Body Shop shop but I purchase from their website. The postage here is £2.99 but the company often has special deals for free postage so by ordering when there is a special offer could mean you have free postage plus also get a % off the total cost of your order as well.


--My Opinion--

Like the other Body Shop shower gels this lathers well in either the bath or shower and has a nice peachy smell. You do not have to use much to get a good lather. I enjoy using nice smelling gels in the bath as it makes the procedure that much more enjoyable.
They have a wide selection of other fruity gels - so really it is up to personal preference which you prefer - I think I prefer the more citrus ones - and I also think they tend to be stronger smelling.
This does have a nice peachy smell - but is perhaps not quite as strong as the grapefruit or strawberry.


---Would I Recommend?---

Yes definitely. It gives you an enjoyable experience whilst bathing and has a nice subtle aroma.


---Star Rating---

4 stars - good product but maybe a littel expensive for everyday use.
