I've got yet another body wash to talk about, and this time, it's an old favorite. I love Nourish's body washes and as natural liquid soaps go, they're also pretty unique. The actual soap element is castile-based, made from organic oils and potassium hydroxide, but Nourish also incorporates shea butter, coconut milk, and other nourishing (hah!) ingredients to create a luxurious, creamy body wash that's not drying in the slightest. They're also USDA certified organic and lather easily, either on a loofah or just your hands.
Unfortunately, certain Nourish scents seemed to have disappeared in Canada, and as I mentioned in my May empties, when I finished a bottle of the fresh fig body wash, I've been having trouble tracking down the almond vanilla. Nourish happened upon that post and offered to send me a bottle to review. After trying it, all I have to say is that this scent needs to make its way back to Canada ASAP.
The almond vanilla smells divine and is the perfect mix of the two fragrances. I've heard the scent described as predominantly vanilla, but to me, the almond is definitely very present too. I have an amazing recipe for plum torte that uses almond extract and Nourish's body wash smells exactly like the batter. And, while the scent is noticeable, it's never overpowering. It lingers on your skin a little throughout the day, but not enough that it would interfere with any other scents you may choose to wear. Nourish also has other vanilla almond products you can layer, if you want to enhance the fragrance. It's a scent I can't imagine getting sick of, and as expected, the body wash itself is just as lovely as all the other variations I've used.
Let's summarize: smells like you're showering in cake batter, lathers easily, and is highly moisturizing. I'm quick to recommend any of Nourish's body washes, but if you enjoy sweet, decadent, foodie scents, it's definitely worth the extra effort of tracking down the almond vanilla.
Where to Buy: $9.99 from Nourish

Sounds so lovely :) x
ReplyDeleteIt really is! :)
DeleteWhen I saw your tweet, i couldn't quite work out of showering in cake batter was a good or bad thing! I sound divine - I wonder if its just an American brand? To google! Lovely post :) xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good thing! It's a US brand, but their products are available in Canada too, and hopefully also in the UK somewhere :)
DeleteI've only come across Fresh Fig & some berries one at the Big Carrot. Am friggen dying to try this Vanilla Almond body wash, especially after this review!
ReplyDeleteSame here! The Big C used to stock all the scents too, which makes it extra frustrating. I've bought Nourish on Vitacost too, but they also don't seem to stock the almond vanilla body wash. I just don't understand it, lol:)
DeleteThis body wash sounds wonderful and $9.99 is a great price! Do you like to get Nourish products mostly at stores in Canada (I live in the U.S.)or do you like to order online sometimes as well?
ReplyDeleteThanks and great post :)

Yeah, I love how affordable all of Nourish's products are! I'm open to either, but it's always nice to know you can buy something in person, in case you run out unexpectedly or something. I've also ordered their stuff from Vitacost before:)
DeleteNourish is on a list of brands to try for me. Great review.
ReplyDeleteThey're definitely a brand worth trying! I've been happy with everything I've used from them :)
DeleteI've actually tried this and it works wonders.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely love a great find at a great price!

It is! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it too :)
Deleteyay! I just won a Moxie Reviews giveaway for Nourish products - extra excited about it now haha
ReplyDeleteOoo congrats! Lucky you...I'm sure you'll love Nourish :)
DeleteThe scent sounds amazing!! I haven't seen them in England before, but will definitely do some investigating now! x
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous scent:) I hope you can find them over there!
DeleteI use to use this and actually loved it, but my boyfriend thought it was stinky so it had to go. I really love most of the products from Nourish!
ReplyDeleteI hate that, when you love a scent and they don't! Perfectly understandable though :) I'm a big fan of Nourish's products too.
DeleteI have to say the natural world is filled with way too much lavendar-like-scents and I be needing some cake batter in my life!
ReplyDeleteMayah x
Definitely! Not that lavender is bad, but I certainly appreciate options :)
DeleteI have to say this sounds really good, I have the deo in fig and smells yummy, if the shower gels smell as good I am in!
ReplyDeleteIt's even yummier than the fig! At least I like it better :) How do you like the deodorant? That's one Nourish product I've yet to try!
DeleteIt works great up untill mid twenties ( Celsius ) but when it gets really hot only lasts 4-5 hours on me, but you know we all react differently :)
