Review on The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel




Product Description
A refreshing cleansing gel that lathers up in the bath or shower to leave your skin feeling clean, fresh and subtly scented.

I bought 2 bottles of this during a sale and I thought the scent is not as lightly scented as described. In fact, the strawberry scent came on strongly during the rinse. Just too fruity for me. Probably best for those who are strawberry lovers.
 
There was alot of foam and hence lathers very well but I considered it too much for my likes. The scent did not linger for long after I came out of the shower though, so in a way, its still alright for me since its too fruity for me, anyway.
 
It contains glycerine which is a water soluble moisturiser that also enriches foam and lather.

It scored a 3.8/5 on Makeupalley and 8/10 from Total Beauty and many of the users simply love the scent so I guess it works on most people, just not me.

UPDATE ( 1 June 2024 )

The gentle Strawberry Shower Gel is infused with cold-pressed strawberry seed oil, with a touch of vanilla so for those who follow their sweet smelling noses to the ends of the earth, this is the one to get you bouncing in the shower in the morning. Squirt on our lucious shower gel and lather all over your bootiful body. Moments later you’ll be bouncing out of the shower, smelling as though you’ve been romping in the strawberry fields, with your skin feeling clean and refreshed.

I was gifted a 50ml of The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel as a Christmas gift from a friend. Still fruity scented but I can take it well. Non-drying. Foams and lathers well. Didn't expect this strawberry shower gel still be around after 14 years. 

Not something I would re-purchase but I don't mind using it. No longer instock though.
