REVIEW: Graham's Natural Body Washes + Giveaway...

A few weeks ago the generous folk at Graham's Natural asked if I'd like to try their new Cucumber & Aloe Vera body wash. Given that I'm so impressed with absolutely everything I've tried from their range, my answer was always going to be a big resounding YES! As expected it was love at first lather, and so taken was I with the refreshing and invigorating shower experience that I ordered the other formula as well, plus a few extras so that I could share some of Graham's love in a giveaway at the end ♥ You can read how and why this great Australian product range came to the market HERE, meanwhile it's on with the review... 

Natural Body Wash with Cucumber & Aloe Vera

This is a clear gel that comes in 250ml pump bottle, nice and slim so it doesn't take up much space in the rack, and the plastic feels sturdy and strong (I've already dropped mine a few times and it bounced!) Like all their products, the formulation is especially for those with sensitive skin, or anyone dealing with eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or roseacea - mine's pretty resilient, but as I age I find my tolerance for certain chemicals diminishing with each year, and I'm becoming more and more mindful of reading labels very carefully, opting for "natural" ingredients wherever possible. This ever so gentle gel contains Vitamin B5, Aloe Vera, Cucumber and Green Tea extract, no sodium lauryl sulphate, petrochemicals or mineral oils, and it's not tested on animals. It lathers exceptionally well - more like a creamy foam than sudsy bubbles, cleanses my skin thoroughly and leaves it feeling cool and hydrated, without any greasy leftovers. The fragrance is delicate, delish and all natural - my schnozz detects the tea and a kind of herbal fruit tang which is refreshing and invigorating without being overpowering. It doesn't seem to linger on the skin either, so it's perfect for all you folks who are scent-sensitive. Love it so much I've already bought another bottle ♥...

Natural Body Wash with Manuka Honey & Coconut

This variety is equally wholesome and delicious - containing Manuka Honey (antibacterial), Coconut Oil (moisturising), Orange Peel extract (soothing) and Lavender extract, the scent is predominantly coconut, but again it's reigned in somehow to just the right level. I don't normally go for coconut scented products, so this was a very pleasant surprise, probably because it's not artificial. And being a scentophile, I usually prefer my body washes to envelop me in a fragrant cloud, but I'm so enjoying this more restrained approach, and the moisturising quality of the formula means I don't need to apply body cream on a daily basis. Again there are none of the usual yucky chemicals, and I honestly can't decide which flavour I love more - guess I'll just have to have both! ♥...

The body washes retail for $15.95, and at present the range is available from pharmacies in Queensland and Victoria, or their website HERE. Delivery is prompt and so far every one of my orders have included sample sachets of their Calendulis Plus and Eczema Creams (thank you!) ♥...

Giveaway!

I so want to spread the word about these great products, so I'm giving away a selection of my favourites from their range - all purchased by me except for the Sooth-it Gel which was so kindly gifted with my last order. I already have a tube of this wonder-gel (also gifted), just haven't gotten around to reviewing it yet, but it gets a double thumbs-up from me for it's rapid absorption and calming qualities ♥...

• 1 x Graham's Natural Body Wash - Cucumber & Aloe Vera
• 1 x Graham's Natural Body Wash - Manuka Honey & Coconut
