Palmolive Naturals Moisturising Body Wash Milk and Honey Review

Palmolive Naturals Moisturising Body Wash Milk and Honey Review

Palmolive Naturals Brand is not paid much attention to,and I don’t know the reason why,perhaps the marketing is not so good for their skin care and body wash range. They have a cream named Charmis which claims to have Vitamins A.C and E and anti oxidants,would like to try that,though I have not heard much about it. Even their Halo Shampoo has been much ignored.

Coming to the body wash, Palmolive has Milk and Honey- Soft Nourish and Milk and Almonds- Rich Nourish in Moisturising Body Wash category. They have Aroma Shower Gels separately in Relax and Vitality and also Thermal Spa Body Wash in Massage and Firming.

Well I have just tried the Milk and Honey Moisturising Body Wash as of yet..but I would love to try their other products too..

What the Company claims:
The Palmolive Naturals Milk & Honey range contains a combination of natural extracts of milk & honey that gently cleanse your skin and protect it from excessive dryness.

All Milk & Honey products contain moisturisers to help nourish your skin and leave it feeling wonderfully soft. The gentle ingredients envelope you in a soft Milk and Honey fragrance.

Ingredients: Water, Potassium laurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Potassium Myristate, SLES, Sorbitol, Potassium Palmate, Glycol Distearate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Polyquaternium-7, Guar Hydroxypropyl, Trimonium Chloride, Lactose, Milk Protein, Honey, Citric acid, Tartrazine C.I. 19140,FD & C Red 40,C.I. 16035

Directions for use: Can be used with a loofah or by hand.
With loofah : Pour little on your wet loofah. Apply gently over wet skin. For best results, use loofah to work up rich lather before rinsing off.

MRP: Rs.45/- for 125ml (I had got it at Rs 40/-)

Its a light yellow colored sheer runny liquid with a mix of honey smell and a slight coconuty smell. It moisturises well as it claims.

Pros:

1. Lives upto its claim as its very moisturising.
2. Lathers well.
3. Comes with a loofah.
4. Very economical.
5. Travel friendly.

Cons:

1. Has SLES for its lather.
2. Packaging is not that good..when the bottle is half finished..its a pain to use as you have to press and hold for long for the product to dispense, plus the bottle looses the shape 🙁
3. The lotion gets dried up and collected at its opening like few face packs, which is to be cleaned. A little unhygienic.

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability:4/5

Overall rating:  3.75/5

Would I buy it again: May be..I would love to try the Aroma Shower gels and others from this range.

2. Has a nice fruity smell.
3. Comes in different sizes.
4. Cheap and good value for money.
5. Perfect as body lotion for normal to combination skin types.

Cons :
1. Only SPF is mentioned but not how much.
2. Flip cap is ok kinds.
3. Loads of chemicals including parabens.
4. Not very moisturising for dry or super dry skin.

Would I buy it again- Hmm…I am not sure. It is a good everyday body lotion but I have lots of things to finish. I wanted to try something from this range..so got this..May be I will if I need. I think people with normal to combination skin should try this once.
