This luxurious gel body wash cleanses effectively while delivering deep moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and beautifully scented. Formulated with a blend of honeys and hydrating oils, it helps maintain your skin's natural moisture balance, making it ideal for daily use, especially in Mauritius' tropical climate where skin can feel both sweaty and dehydrated.

Perfect for those seeking a body wash that cleanses without stripping, leaving skin feeling hydrated and soft. Ideal for normal to dry body skin, or anyone who enjoys a rich lather and a sweet, comforting honey scent. Expect clean, moisturized skin that feels smooth and comfortable after showering.

1) Wet Skin: Start your shower or bath.

2) Lather Up: Dispense 1-2 pumps onto a shower puff, loofah, or your hands. Add water and work into a rich lather.

3) Cleanse Body: Massage the lather all over your body.

4) Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse off completely with lukewarm water.

5) Follow Up: Pat skin dry and apply a body lotion while skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

Use during your morning shower as your body cleansing step. Follow with body lotion and sunscreen on exposed areas before dressing.

Use during your evening shower or bath to wash away the day's sweat and impurities. Follow with a nourishing body lotion or oil before bed, especially if you sleep in air conditioning.

Daily Use — AM/PM during shower/bath:

• Amount: 1–2 pumps onto a wet shower puff, loofah, or hands. Adjust amount based on lather preference.
• Apply to: Wet body skin.
• Method: Add water to the product and work into a lather. Massage gently over the body, focusing on areas prone to dryness like elbows and knees. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Suitable for daily use, once or twice a day.

If-This / Then-That:

• Skin feels tight after rinsing? You might be using water that's too hot, or you need to apply body lotion immediately after patting dry.
• Not lathering well? Ensure your puff/hands and skin are sufficiently wet before adding the gel. Add more water gradually as you lather.
• Using as a bubble bath? Dispense several pumps under running bath water for fragrant bubbles (though designed as a body wash).

Watchouts: Avoid contact with eyes. If product gets into eyes, rinse immediately with water.

Safety: For external body use only. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Suitable for teens and adults; consult a doctor for use on young children if needed.

Works Well With:

• Most body lotions, creams, and oils applied after showering.
• Gentle body scrubs used 1-2 times per week (use scrub before the body wash).
• Shower puffs, loofahs, or konjac sponges to enhance lather.

Use Carefully With:

• Strong prescription body treatments (like topical steroids); ensure this wash is gentle enough not to cause further irritation. Consult your doctor if unsure.

Avoid On:

• Face: This product is formulated for the body; facial skin is more delicate and may react differently. Use a dedicated facial cleanser.
• Eyes: Avoid direct contact.
• Broken or severely irritated skin.

• Normal Body Skin: Excellent. Cleanses well while maintaining moisture.
• Dry Body Skin: Very Good. Provides a hydrating cleanse, helping to reduce feelings of tightness post-shower. Always follow with a moisturizer.
• Oily Body Skin: Good. Cleanses effectively, but ensure thorough rinsing in humid weather. Might feel slightly too moisturizing for very oily skin types in peak summer; a lighter gel wash could be an alternative.
• Combination Body Skin: Good. Effectively cleanses without over-drying potentially drier areas like limbs.
• Sensitive Body Skin: Caution. Contains fragrance and potentially sulfates (check full INCI). Patch testing on a small area (like the inner arm) for 24 hours is recommended before full use.

• Body Dryness during Cleansing: Helps prevent the stripping of natural oils, leaving skin feeling more comfortable and less tight after washing.
• Maintaining Skin Moisture Balance: Hydrating ingredients support the skin's natural barrier while cleansing away sweat and impurities.
• Dull Body Skin: Cleanses away dead skin cells and impurities, contributing to a smoother, more radiant appearance when used consistently.
• Desire for a Pleasurable Shower Experience: The rich lather and sweet honey scent provide an enjoyable sensory experience.

• Who Should Use: Suitable for most adults and teens seeking a moisturizing body wash.
• Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with very sensitive skin, eczema, or known allergies to honey or fragrances should patch test first.
• Patch Test Protocol: Apply a small amount of the body wash to a discrete area of skin (e.g., inner arm). Lather gently and rinse as usual. Wait 24-48 hours. If any redness, itching, or irritation develops, discontinue use.
• If Irritation Occurs: Stop using the product immediately. Rinse the area with cool water. Apply a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer. If irritation is severe or persists, consult a healthcare professional.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but consult your doctor if you have concerns, especially regarding fragrances.
• Children: While likely gentle, it's formulated for adult skin. Consult a pediatrician before using on young children, especially if they have sensitive skin.

• Texture: Smooth, moderately thick gel.
• Lather: Creates a rich, creamy foam when mixed with water, especially on a puff.
• Feel During Use: Cleanses gently without feeling stripping.
• Feel After Rinse: Skin feels clean, soft, and lightly hydrated, not tight or squeaky. A slight moisturizing film might be perceptible.
• Scent: Distinctive sweet honey fragrance.
• pH: Likely slightly acidic to neutral (around pH 5.5-7.0), typical for gentle body washes (pH not officially published by brand).
• Comedogenicity/FA Risk: Low risk for body use. Contains oils (Argan) but generally formulated to rinse clean. Unlikely to trigger fungal acne on the body unless other factors are present. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Not Lathering Well. → Solution: Ensure adequate water is mixed with the gel. Use a shower puff or loofah for maximum foam. Hard water can sometimes reduce lather; use slightly more product if needed.
• Issue: Skin Feels Slightly Sticky After Rinsing. → Solution: Rinse more thoroughly, especially in humid weather. The moisturizing ingredients can leave a light film; this is normal for a hydrating wash but should not feel heavy.
• Issue: Skin Still Feels Dry or Tight After Use. → Solution: This wash is moisturizing but may not be enough for very dry skin on its own. Ensure you're applying a body lotion immediately after showering while skin is damp to lock in moisture. Also, check shower water temperature (lukewarm is best).
• Issue: Scent is Too Strong/Lingering. → Solution: If sensitive to fragrance, this product might not be suitable. Consider a fragrance-free body wash.

• Humid Summer: Rinses well and provides light hydration, suitable for frequent showering due to heat and sweat. Ensure thorough rinsing to avoid any sticky feel. Follow with a lightweight body lotion if needed.
• Drier Winter/Cooler Months: Excellent for preventing dryness exacerbated by cooler air. Pair with a richer body cream after showering to combat seasonal dryness.
• Air-Conditioned Environments: Helps counteract the drying effects of AC by providing moisture during cleansing. Always follow with a body moisturizer after showering if spending significant time in AC.

&honey is a Japanese beauty brand developed by ViCREA Co., Ltd., focusing on harnessing the natural moisturizing power of honey. Their core philosophy revolves around achieving an ideal moisture balance in skin and hair (often citing a specific "14% moisture level"). They blend various types of honey (like Manuka, Acacia, and raw Japanese honey) with other beneficial ingredients like Argan oil, hyaluronic acid, and royal jelly to create deeply hydrating and nourishing products with delightful textures and scents.

• Humectant: An ingredient that attracts water molecules from the air or deeper skin layers to hydrate the surface (e.g., Honey, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid).
• Emollient: An ingredient that softens and smooths the skin by filling gaps between skin cells (e.g., Argan Oil, Shea Butter).
• Occlusive: An ingredient that forms a physical barrier on the skin to prevent water loss (e.g., Petrolatum, Dimethicone, heavy oils/butters).
• Non-Comedogenic: Formulated in a way that is less likely to clog pores.
• PAO (Period After Opening): The symbol on packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") indicating how many months the product is safe and effective after opening.
• 제조 (Jejo): Korean term for "Manufactured on".
• 까지 (Kkaji) / 사용기한 (Sayong gi-han): Korean terms for "Use by" or "Expiration date".

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you authentic, high-quality K-Beauty and J-Beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, ingredients, and suitability for the Mauritian climate. We guarantee 100% authenticity on all products, sourced directly or through authorized channels. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make mindful choices for your skin's health and radiance.

Can I use this body wash on my face?
It's generally not recommended. Body washes are formulated for thicker body skin and may contain fragrances or surfactants that could irritate the more delicate facial skin. Stick to a dedicated facial cleanser.

Is this body wash suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can be a potential irritant for highly sensitive individuals. Honey can also rarely cause allergic reactions. We recommend patch testing first if you have sensitive skin.

Is the honey scent very strong?
Most users describe it as a pleasant, sweet honey scent of moderate intensity. However, scent perception is subjective. If you dislike sweet fragrances, you might prefer an unscented option.

Does it help with body acne?
While cleansing helps prevent acne, this product isn't specifically formulated to treat body acne. Its moisturizing properties are generally good for skin health, but if body acne is a primary concern, look for a body wash containing ingredients like Salicylic Acid or Tea Tree Oil.
