Whish Pomegranate Body Wash


Review of Whish Pomegranate Body Wash
By Elle A.

The best thing about this Whish product was its design. Funky pink and black, with pretty curly writing and clearly labelled, it is very feminine, without being overly glittery and girlie, and eye-catching. However, the Whish Pomegranate body wash comes in a squeezy plastic bottle, which is very slippery in the shower, and once opened, the lid was very hard to close, resulting in sticky body wash leaking all over the place (however, I did notice that you can buy it from Naturismo in a plastic bottle with a pump dispense- probably a bit more practical for use in the bath). I also found the smell of the Whish Pomegranate Wash, although quite nice to begin with, very nauseous after a while. You can definitely smell the pomegranate and raspberry butter, but it is a very strong scent, and very sweet and sickly – reminded me of bubblegum. Saying this, my friend liked the sweet smell, so I guess it is down to personal preference, but I wouldn’t recommend this to people who prefer their products to have a more discreet perfume.

The actual Whish Pomegranate body wash, although it foams nicely, is very sticky to begin with. A little goes a long way, so don’t overdo it, or you might end up a bit shiny! I haven’t noticed any magical softening effects on my skin yet, but it definitely cleans (and the smell lingers on your skin for quite a while afterwards). All Three Whishes products are paraben, sulphate, petrochemical, DEA and TEA free, not tested on animals, and come in recycled packaging, which is good.

I would recommend this product to anyone who likes strong, lingering, fruity scents in their body washes, as well as anyone who likes beautifully packaged items in their bathroom, but not to people who dislike heavily scented products or having to keep their washes upright so as not to have sticky liquid leaking all over the place!
