Review : A'kin Lavender Body Wash

Product Description
Akin Lavender Body Wash will help you relax and recharge. Enriched with the concentrated nature of certified organic Lavender oil, Akin's natural body wash combines the aromatherapy benefits of Lavender with the purest, non-drying cleansers.

It is a sulfate, paraben and soap free body wash leaving your skin thoroughly cleansed & silky soft.
Lavender has been used since Roman times as a relaxing, neutralising and healing aromatic oil. The name is derived from the latin "lavare" meaning to wash. This pure certified organic lavender is combined with the gentlest and purest skin cleansers to ensure your skin and mind will be refreshed! Pure and gentle for babies, children, the elderly and those with sensitive or fragile skin!

All A'kin products are ingredient-rich, vegan, 100% natural botanical aromatherapy and formulated without animal ingredients or animal testing.

They are free from:
◦parabens
◦mineral oils
◦silicones
◦sulfates
◦synthetic fragrances
◦artificial colours
◦propylene glycol
◦phthalates
◦DEA (MEA, TEA)
◦ethoxylated and petrochemical cleansers

Definitely good stuff for the body, without all the chemical-laden ingredients. I picked this up from Guardian when it was running a promotion together with its shampoo and conditioner. The trio costs me just $37.40, considering that each product costs $19 separately.
It can also be used on babies, that show how gentle the product is.
Other than using it as a body wash, it can doubled up as a bubble bath, washing your delicate lingerie or as a hand wash. Whats not to love about this wonderful body wash?

At 255ml, it used up pretty fast because its pretty fluid so I tend to pour more as its just such a spendid joy to use it for the whole body. It foams well, cleanse well and smells well though the scent does not linger long though. I love this very much and will definitely repurchase if there is a promotion. At $19 each, its just a tad too expensive for me in the long run.

Update 27th Aug 16 :

A good friend has gifted a 500ml size of the A'kin Lavender Body Wash as a Christmas gift last year. However, it seemed that even though the list of ingredients are the same, some ingredients has apparently switched places in the ingredient list.
That and combined with my drier skin nowadays, this body wash does not seem to be suitable for my skin now. It is slightly drying on my skin, leaving some squeaky sensation in its place.
