Mixing together fruit and herb extracts and Community Fair Trade aloe vera, the new Earth Lovers shower gels by The Body Shop promise to not only be good for your skin but also for the environment. The range is the second range from The Body Shop to fall under the eco-conscious label (the first being their Rainforest shampoos).
The entire range is made from a soap free base so it's suitable for sensitive skins and it won't dry you out which is something I welcome because my current shower gels have been aggravating me no end. The range doesn't contain any of the following:
- Sulphates: This doesn't mean that they don't foam, they contain natural foaming agents.. I can vouch for this as I have a bottle and it does foam up but not as much as ones with sulphates in. Having said that, I like this amount of lather better.
- Colourants: This ensures that you can see the actual colour of the gel (their Rainforest shampoos are the same).
- Parabens: More nasties you don't want!
They come in seven different smells..well, six, the seventh one is unscented. Does that count as a smell? It doesn't to me because a smell is something your nose recognises but if it's go not smell, what can your nose recognise? But then is nothing something you can recognise? You do say "I smell nothing" so that's recognition.. Anyway, I don't like the way that the Cucumber and Mint one has a lighter coloured bottle design compared to the rest. In my mind, that should be reserved for the unscented one.
