Indulge your skin with this luxurious gel body wash from &Honey. Formulated with nourishing honey extracts, it gently cleanses away daily impurities, sweat, and residue while wrapping your skin in lasting moisture. Its unique 'melty' gel texture transforms into a rich lather, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortably hydrated – perfect for combating dryness from air conditioning or for naturally dry skin types in Mauritius.

• Who it's for: Ideal for normal to dry skin types seeking a gentle, moisturizing body cleanse. Suitable for daily use.
• What it does: Cleanses skin effectively without stripping natural oils, provides hydration, leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
• Key Ingredients: Honey Extract (nourishing, humectant), Hyaluronic Acid (hydrating), Argan Oil (moisturizing). (Based on typical &Honey formulations; exact INCI below).
• Texture & Scent: Rich gel that lathers well, pleasant honey-based fragrance (common for the brand).
• Expected Results: Skin feels clean, comfortable, and noticeably softer immediately after use. Helps maintain skin hydration levels over time.

• When: Use daily during your shower or bath.
• Amount: Dispense 1-2 pumps onto a wet shower puff, loofah, or your hands.
• Application: Lather the gel well. Massage gently over your entire body.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry gently with a towel.
• Follow Up: For best results, follow with your favorite body lotion or moisturiser while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration. Try the APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion 300ML for added brightening.
• Tip for Dry Skin: Avoid very hot water, which can strip natural oils. Lukewarm water is best.

• Works Well With: Body lotions, creams, oils, body sunscreens, gentle body scrubs (used 1-2x/week).
• Use Carefully With: Avoid using immediately before applying self-tanning products, as any residue might interfere with even application. Ensure skin is fully rinsed and dry.

• Gentle Cleansing: Effectively removes dirt, sweat, and residue without irritating or stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

• Potential Allergens:
  • Contains Fragrance, which can include potential allergens not individually listed.
  • Contains Honey and Propolis Extract, which may cause reactions in individuals allergic to bee products.
  • EU Allergens: Based on the representative INCI, none of the 26 declarable EU allergens are explicitly listed, but they could be components of the added "Fragrance".
• Recommendation: Patch testing is advised for individuals with known fragrance sensitivities or bee allergies.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI disclosure including fragrance components; patch test advised.

• For External Use Only: Do not ingest. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Patch Testing: Although generally gentle, it's wise to patch test if you have sensitive skin or known allergies (especially to fragrance or bee products). Apply a small amount to your inner arm, wait 24 hours. If redness, itching, or irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Discontinue Use If Irritation Occurs: If you experience persistent irritation, redness, or rash after use, stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
• Storage: Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but review the ingredient list with your doctor if you have specific concerns.

• Texture: A rich, viscous gel that feels smooth and slightly 'melty'.
• Lather: Creates a creamy, dense foam when mixed with water and agitated (e.g., on a shower puff).
• Rinse-off Feel: Rinses cleanly without leaving a heavy residue, but skin feels noticeably soft and hydrated, not stripped or tight.
• Scent: Pleasant sweet honey/floral fragrance during use, which lingers lightly on the skin.
• pH Level: Likely formulated to be mildly acidic or near neutral (pH 5.5-7.0) to be gentle on the skin barrier, though exact pH is not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Compatibility: Contains Argan Oil and Shea Butter which could potentially trigger FA in highly susceptible individuals. Not considered FA-safe.
• Comedogenicity: Intended for the body, where comedogenicity is less of a concern than on the face. Ingredients like Shea Butter could be comedogenic if used on the face by acne-prone individuals, but generally safe for body use.

• Issue: Not lathering well.
  • Solution: Ensure you are using enough water and agitating sufficiently (use a shower puff/loofah for best foam). Start with 1-2 pumps.
• Issue: Skin feels slightly sticky after rinsing.
  • Solution: Rinse more thoroughly with lukewarm water. The moisturizing ingredients might leave a very slight film, which is normal and contributes to hydration.
• Issue: Scent is too strong/weak.
  • Solution: Scent perception is subjective. If too strong, use slightly less product. If too weak, enjoy the subtle fragrance!
• Issue: Caused irritation or rash.
  • Solution: Discontinue use immediately. You may be sensitive to fragrance or another ingredient. Use a bland, soothing lotion and consult a doctor if irritation persists. Refer to patch testing guidelines.

• Humid Summers: Excellent for gentle cleansing of sweat and sunscreen without over-drying. The moisturizing properties are still beneficial as humidity doesn't negate the need for hydration, especially with sun exposure. Its pleasant scent is refreshing in the heat.
• Drier Winters/Cooler Months: Very well-suited. The added moisture helps combat the slight increase in dryness during cooler periods or from indoor heating/AC.
• Air Conditioning Exposure: Ideal. AC environments significantly dry out the skin; using a moisturizing body wash helps counteract this effect, maintaining skin comfort.
• Post-Beach/Pool: Great for washing off salt, chlorine, and sunscreen gently while replenishing moisture lost during swimming and sun exposure.

Overall, its balance of effective cleansing and rich moisture makes it a good year-round choice for the Mauritian climate, particularly for those with normal to dry skin or who spend time in AC.

• Packaging: Comes in a 500ml plastic bottle with a convenient pump dispenser.
• Sustainability: Packaging is likely recyclable plastic (check local guidelines in Mauritius). &Honey as a brand aims for natural ingredients but specific sustainability initiatives for this product line are not detailed. Refills may be available in some markets (check availability).

Note: Reviews aggregated for similar &Honey body washes; specific variant feedback may vary.

• Positive - Moisturizing & Scent: "Leaves my skin feeling really soft and hydrated, not tight at all like some body washes. The honey scent is lovely and not too overpowering." (YesStyle review, 2024-MM)
• Positive - Lather & Feel: "A little goes a long way, it lathers up really nicely into this rich foam. Feels luxurious to use and rinses clean." (Amazon customer review, 2024-MM)
• Nuance - Scent Preference: "It's very moisturizing which I love for my dry skin, but the scent, while nice, is quite sweet. If you don't like sweet fragrances, maybe test it first." (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty thread, 2023-MM)
• Caveat - Value: "It's a nice body wash and feels premium, but it is a bit pricier than standard drugstore options. Worth it if you want the extra moisture and experience." (YesStyle review, 2024-MM)
