I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

Thoughts:

- I love forest/pine fragrances, but this Juniper Body wash just smells a bit too pungent without any warmness to it. Yes juniper smells a bit weird but it doesn't smell like juniper properly, it goes into random masculine scent territory

- Still, I don't like the cap of the bottle, difficult to open in the shower



+ Even though the smell is not what I imagined, it is refreshing and not bad, it doesn't linger even for a second though

+ Foams better than other shower gels from TBS I've tried, feels more cleansing, I like it

+ Like always, I think the bottle design and shape is very cute

* I actually am weirdly disappointed in this shower gel, not because it would bad, it's just not what I imagined probably? And I guess there's a learning curve too, now I know I am so basic that I enjoy the fruity floral fragrances the most.

Price: 

9,90 € / 250 ml, I think I paid 7-8 €

Bought from: 

The Body Shop website

Buy again? 

No.

Worth the money? 

I don't specifically regret buying it, but I would have survived without as well. I really wanted it to be perfect juniper or forest fragrance. So in that sense it wasn't worth my money or time.
