Andalou Naturals Mandarin Vanilla Vitalizing Shower Gel, 8.5 Ounce

I've been on the "natural" product bandwagon for skincare for about seven years now, with a few hits and misses along the way. Andalou products, along with few Acure ones, have been my go-to for the last 2 years due to great results and affordability. I finally got to try Andalou's body wash in Mandarin Vanilla, which I was a little nervous about since I'm picky about scent, especially anything vanilla, and tend to be sensitive to a lot of things. If you prefer more foody fragrance vs herbal/floral, then this might be for you. The scent reminds me of ambrosia with a hint angelfood cake, or slightly like a creamsicle, but without being sickly sweet, synthetic or overpowering. The vanilla is more soft, creamy, dessert-like to my sniffer, instead of that warm, synthetic vanilla that many products have and which I usually don't care for (i.e. Bath and Body, Victoria's Secret, etc.). The best anger miter noticeable part is the freshly squeezed mandarin scent that's light and bright. For me, it was a delightful and delicious aromatherapy moment, which I haven't experienced in a while, or at least side getting off store bought products. Actually, I like this way better lol. Aside from the scent, I also found that my skin feels soft and smooth, despite not tossing on lotion yet (which I'll still need, of course). Because of my dermatitis issues, I also appreciate that it didn't dry out my skin as most products do, but rather hydrated it a bit while providing that "clean" feeling. Definitely will repurchase and planning on trying the lotion, too.

Andalou has been a favorite in our home for years. We use the shower gel & lotion. Both are great for sensitive skin with safe ingredients. The scent is lovely without being to powerful. It's creamy and suds nicely. Highly recommend.

This smells like the familiar sweet treat without being overwhelming. I like to pair it with the matching lotion. I also like that it's made with cleaner ingredients than many shower gels. The bottle lasts a long time, so it's a good deal.

Its EWG safe, non toxic and smells so heavenly. Its literally like and orange creamsicle scent! I love this brand and the lotions that go with it. It actually moisturized the skin and suds up well. Its a nice thick gel and the scent works wonders on my mood when I take a shower. The price is awesome for the amount of product. Keep it in stock amazon!

Smells nice, thick lather, not drying

Lately, I have noticed that by the time the tube is at least half empty, the product has apparently separated and needs to be shaken. It is annoying when I squirt it out and then realize it is all clear liquid rather than the opaque white color. At that point I am wasting the product! On a good note, I love the scent and the sudsy lather when using this product. It leaves my skin rather moist rather than stripping away my own oils.

I love how I smell while using this in the shower and I wish it would last after. This body wash is light weight and lathers pretty well. I love how it's vegan and the ingredients are natural. It's affordable for the amount you get.

The fragrance is pleasant, but it fades away almost immediately. Additionally, the cap arrived broken, which might have been due to transportation issues. I had to transfer the liquid into another bottle, which was inconvenient.
