On the very rare occasion I get to a Body Shop store, as I did a few weeks ago for my 29463903th bottle of my beloved Ginger Shampoo and Conditioner, I love a good mooch about to see what is new and on this occasion I was immediately drawn to the selection of products hidden away in a corner under a banner called 'Boost'.
As part of the new wellness range, which is made up of three collections - Boost, Sleep and Breathe, each one has a whole plethora of products under its banner and whilst I am waiting for an order to come for the products I couldn't get in store, I am glad I picked up the Boost Uplifting Hair & Body Wash.
Energise your mind and get ready to take on the world with The Body Shop’s Boost range. This blend brings some flavour to life thanks to this sunny and citrusy scent, rounded off with a cheerful, floral note. Known for their potent properties to help re-energise the body, mandarin & bergamot scent are mostly found on the shores of Calabria, crafted by traditional Italian producers who never let a drop go to waste.
Perfect for all skin types, this Boost Uplifting Hair & Body Wash is perfect for using on those mornings when you feel totally sluggish and like your eyelids are Velcro, then this bottle of energy is exactly what you need. Inside the recyclable aluminium bottle has an upliftingly warm, zesty, awakening and citrusy scent, which if you are familiar with products from The Body Shop is not only Vegan, but is made with 95% ingredients of natural origin, including 100% natural and biodegradable mandarin and bergamot essential oils as well as Community Fair Trade organic olive oil from Italy.
In the shower, or the bath, you simply apply directly to your body and massage it into the skin, taking the time to breathe in and enjoy those citrus scents. If you prefer to use a pump dispenser, you can get a reusable one from The Body Shop for free by showing your order receipt.
So what do these ingredients do?
- Community Fair Trade Organic Olive Oil - Often referred to as ‘liquid gold’ it helps to keep your skin soft and moisturised.
- Bergamot Essential Oil - It is known for its zesty and uplifting qualities.
- Mandarin Essential Oil- Used for its uplifting scent which helps the body and mind feel energised.
This is an incredible find as far as I am concerned, it was an accidental purchase as I had wanted the Melting Breathe Balm which was out of stock, so I took a chance on this and am glad I did. The Boost range is made up of 6 other products which includes - a Whipped Body Creme, Shine On Hair and Body Oil, an Essential Oil Blend, Hand Cream, Hand Wash and a Sugar Body Polish. All of which I have no doubt I will try!
Priced at just £12 for 200ml, it is worth every penny.
