Review : EssentiQ Shower Gel Calendula & Grapefruit


Product Description
Gentle natural and organic shower gel. Extract from calendula, essential oil from grapefruit, organic aloe vera gel and amaranth proteins nourish and hydrate the skin and make it softer.

Free from formaldehydes, paraffins, propylene glycol, silicon or chlorine derivates, parabens, PEG, synthetic colouring agents and GMOs, this Made-In-Slovenia EssentiQ Shower Gel Calendula and Grapefruit costs me $10 ( original $18 ) for a 250ml size during a promotion from Naturelova. 


A relatively unheard brand in Singapore, EssentiQ prides itself of creating products which contain at least 98% ~99% natural/organic ingredients where the remaining 1 ~2% include preservatives and surface active agents. 

EssentiQ Shower Gel with Calendula and Grapefruit scent reminded me of oranges - yummy and delicious oranges. The opaque white bottle with the flick-top cap has a tiny gap which is easy to dispense the gel for a good lathering wash. 

There was no drying-after feel or sticky and greasy uncomfortable sensation but just pure effective cleanse for the whole body. Loving this shower gel and may get it if there's promotion again.

Update : 28th June 18 

I repurchased EssentiQ Shower Gel in Calendula and Grapefruit flavour because I like it so much last year, however, it does not suit my skin anymore. From the 3rd wash onwards, I noticed that my body is alittle drying from using the shower gel. It has the same ingredients but unfortunately, with aging, my skin has changed.
