Body Wash = Good


Alright, I have another brand-spankin' new review for all of you, and it's a good one. Yippee! Also, just to shake things up a bit, we're looking at a bath/beauty product. It's been awhile, no? I think we've tended to have bad (or ugly) luck with these, but luckily the Nature's Gate Pomegranate Sunflower Body Wash is awesome.

The backstory to my purchase: A few weeks ago, my sister and I decided to make a little trip across the border with the intention of buying a caseload of those wiiiiiicked veggie corn dogs I reviewed awhile ago (what, you thought I was joking?! I have been dreaming about those bad boys ever since then. I TOLD you they were fantastic). So we hit up the nearest Target and booted it to the frozen goods section. But, woe betide me, they were sold out. Sold out! Was it one of my readers, acting upon a hungry impulse brought about by my enthusiastic review? Is there someone out there slumped in their computer chair, tummy swollen and eyes glazed, surrounded by dozens of empty Morningstar Farms boxes, cackling to him-or-herself at my misfortune?! Arrrrrrrgh - Vengeance will be miiiine!

Uhhh... Sorry about that. Moving on. Needless to say, I was disappointed not to have found the corn dogs, but I consoled myself by checking out the other veg*n products available in-store. And to my surprise, there were plenty! I actually needed to pick up some shampoo, conditioner, and soap, and out of curiosity decided to pick up Nature's Gate's stuff.

The body wash was $6-ish US (though their website lists it at $7.49) for a 532 mL bottle, which pretty much fit into my (almost non-existent) budget. The scent was really nice, and the bottle said that the product contains no animal byproducts and involved no animal testing - Wooo! After taking it home and testing it out, I can say with all sincerity that I will be buying this again. It lathers well, still smells great (fruity and zesty but not overpoweringly so), and leaves my skin clean but well-moisturized.

The company's website info indicates that their products are indeed certified vegan and cruelty-free, which we can all feel happy about! It looks like they also have a tonnnnn of other products that I'd love to try - And you should too! Just save me a box or bottle or two this time, okay?
