Review : John Masters Organics Blood Orange and Vanilla Blood Wash

Product Description
Created with the mildest botanically-based surfactants from corn and coconut, this all-over body wash foams into a creamy, rich, sulfate-free lather that gently removes dirt and oil - leaving skin soft and smooth.

Key Ingredients
• blood orange - promotes collagen production
• bourbon vanilla - creates a fresh and intoxicating scent
• vegetable glycerin - moisturizing
• pink grapefruit - balances oily skin; refreshes
• milk thistle - antioxidant

I owned a 30ml travel sized body wash from John Masters. My very first product from the brand, which I bought from ASOS when there was a sale. Its perfect for my recent short trips to Penang and Bali this month.
Although most hotels do provide complimentary body and hair products, I usually like to bring along my own products because most of their products are usually drying to the skin, except for a few excellent ones.

John Masters Organics products are not cheap so I am glad to have a chance to try the travel kit pack.
All ingredients in John Masters Organics' products must meet their strict guidelines :

5. No animal testing
6. No artificial colors, fragrances or fillers
7. All plant extracts and essential oils must be certified organic whenever possible
8. All essential oils used must be steam-distilled and not extracted with propylene glycol - which kills the effect of the oils
9. All plant oils must be cold pressed, not heat distilled - which kills the therapeutic properties of plant oils

11. All ingredients must be harvested in an environmentally-friendly manner (wild-crafted)

This body wash, similar to the retail size, is housed in a clear bottle. Its light orange/yellow in colour with a lightweight texture that foams just abit. It has an odd scent which I cannot describe, more towards vanilla with a hint of citrus. Its been said that it can also be used for the face but I do not have the intention to try that though.

The body wash gives a decent wash, but its neither moisturising nor drying. Average performance for the price. But for the good ingredients it contains, perhaps its worth it, though I think I would still look around.
It scored 4.6 from 14 reviewers on Makeupalley
