Packaging:

The body wash comes in a big, white and flip open bottle. This is the only available size with St Ives body washes. Since the bottle is sturdy, you can carry it while travelling, but the size might make it inconvenient. The packaging doesn’t looks cheap. The flip open cap makes it easy to use in shower.

My Experience with St Ives Purifying Sea Salt Exfoliating Body Wash:

The color of the body wash is creamy white with very gentle and tiny exfoliants. The consistency is thick and a little goes a long way with a pouf/loofah because the product lathers very richly.  However, slightly more quantity is required if you skip loofah and use hands for lathering the body wash. It rinses off easily and leaves a subtle pleasant fragrance behind, which does not last for long.

I am overall very happy with the quality and quantity of the body wash. It has tiny gentle granules in it, which are extracted from natural ingredients. The exfoliating granules are not at all harsh; they scrub the skin gently and make their presence felt without being harsh on skin. The final result after using this body wash is clean, supple and refreshed skin.  This body wash is free of parabens and manufactured with natural ingredients, it gives the consumer the satisfaction that the product doesn’t contain any avoidable chemicals.
