When you have teenagers in your household, they come with so much stuff! Clothes, trainers, electrical devices AND body care products. I have one teen that has sensitive skin, so I keep products simple and free from colours and fragrance. For my other teen, anything goes, and he seems to like his shower products to be fragrant. So having him in mind, I bought a couple of bottles of I’m Plant Based Body Wash by Original Source from Home Bargains for 79p. So what is this like?
What’s so special about this body wash?
This body wash has lots of things about it that may make this different to other body care products from Original Source, such as:
- Paraben free – parabens are chemicals which helps preserve products and lengthens their shelf life.
- Sulphate free – sulphates help to create foam and helps to make a product an effective cleaner.
- Fragrance comes from a natural source.
Some people will find the above appealing when it comes to what they use on their skin, some are less concerned. But having different products available omitting certain ingredients gives people choices and not stuck with the standard offerings.
Packaging
335ml of body wash is housed in a plastic flip topped lid bottle. Clear but green in colour with the labelling making a massive point of this product being plant based along with it’s benefits. The look of this ties in well with the Original Source brand but is clearly marketed as a more ‘natural’ product.
Fragrance
I’m Plant Based Body Wash comes in the fragrance Cedarwood & Eucalyptus (or at least that’s the only fragrance I saw available). The scent of this body wash is what I would describe as being clean, woody, earthy, herbal and very much has an aromatherapy type smell to it. This would work well for those who want a more masculine type scent and not the typical floral or fruity notes. Do I like it? I would need to be in the mood for this. It’s not a fragrance that’s on top of my list but I would still use it!
Cost & where to buy
This cost only 79p from Home Bargains. Probably the cheapest I’ve found any Original Source bath or shower product (minus travel size).
Worth a purchase?
Considering the price, amount of product and the brand this comes from, as long as the scent is your type of thing, I would give it a go! So worth checking out your local Home Bargains store to see if they have this in stock, and also to see if there’s other fragrances available too!
