Mandarin shower gel with skin-softening olive oil

If your body has been beaten down by the rigors of the rat race, extend an Olive Branch as a peace offering and give yourself some tender loving care. Once you give it a good shake (the shower gel, not your body), the skin softening organic olive oil will be nicely blended in. Loaded with vital antioxidants, with an infusion of vine leaves, sea salt and fresh mandarin juice, it’s just like a warm embrace from the Mediterranean. It’s uplifting and reassuring, and brings peace of mind and body whenever you lather up in the bath or shower.

Features

  • Shower escape: A gentle, Mediterranean inspired gel with skin softening olive oil for dry skin.
  • Uplifting and refreshing: Shower with the citrus scents of mandarin and lemon with a just hint of fresh orange groves.
  • Get juiced: Mandarin juice has been used for years to lighten the mood and freshen up dull skin.

I m absolutely in love with this product! The smell is great! It's kind of hard to explain...kind of citrusy, kind of musky. It is unisex.

For the ladies, tt pairs very well with vanilla. The vanilla sweetens it slightly, while the Olive Branch scent neutralizes the vanilla, and makes it a happy feminine medium. Try it with Vanilla dusting powder, you will not be dissapointed.

The only downside is it doesnt last long on my skin. To combat that I have been using it as a shampoo. I wash my hair with it, then I also add a tiny dab of it to my American Cream conditioner for extra scent. It works AWESOME on my hair, and the smell lasts that way. It is actually my new favorite shampoo!

All in all, a great product. I just wish the scent lingered.

I always give this one a very good shake everytime I use it. It smells divine but what happened to the lather? It's almost non existant. If it was not for the intoxicating smell I would not have bought it in the first place. I just wish it lathered a bit..I used so much of it the first time cause there was no lather...It's very watery even if u shake it up first. Now my entire bottle is almost gone and I have used it only 4 times. I got the small bottle just to try it. I wish the scent stayed on my skin too!

    Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

    I got this product in a Christmas gift set. I'm not a fan. The product is way to runny, doesn't lather, and its smell (while not horrible) is not particularly appealing either. I was unimpressed. I didn't feel like it did anything for me. My skin wasn't noticeably more moisturized after several uses. I'm glad it came in a gift set and I dind't waste my money on it.

    Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

    I love Olive Branch! I actually won it by chance at a local Lush party and I'm so glad because I never would have thought to buy it otherwise. It smells amazing and makes me feel so soft and clean. I use it with Vanilla Puff Powder because the smell can be a little masculine (not too much though). I also use it as a shampoo sometimes and it leaves my hair feeling soft and moisturized. The only bad thing about it is that it's runny so it doesn't last long. Other than that, I love it! I don't know why Olive Branch isn't more popular. It is one of my all-time favorite Lush products and I'd recommend it to any and everyone.

      Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

      This is my first shower gel purchase from Lush, I had tried their soap before (Demon In The Dark)and loved it, but I am a shower gel kind of girl. I instantly was attracted to this one because it has olive oil in it. (Olive oil is suppose to be AH-mazing for your skin. I absolutely ADORE the scent, it smells so clean and soft, leaves skin super moisturized. The only reason that I didn't give it all stars is that is is a little watery, but it does lather super well, just try not to use a lot! I WILL be purchasing large bottle soon!!

      Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

      I love Olive Branch! My skin is very sensitive and I have a difficult time finding soaps that don't irritate my skin. Lucky for me, I walked into lush and the sales associate recommended I try this. It has been a life saver. My skin doesn't itch anymore! I love the fragrance too. It lingers all day -no small feat when you literally run around for 9 hours a day like I do.
      The only drawback of this gel is that I have to shake it before I use it which can be a little annoying in the morning when I am barely awake. Overall, I love this product!

      This smells so great and the scent lasts all day. I love how it leaves my skin feeling moisturized without feeling heavy. I've got to say that it's pretty watery but the lather does go a long way even if it might not seem like a lot.

            This smells incredible. The scent makes me want to get in the shower and never, ever leave. It's just delicious, I want it in a perfume. The lather is good, but it doesn't feel especially luxurious or moisturizing. It makes you feel clean but isn't really mind blowing. Just a standard body wash, I guess. Except for that intoxicating smell.

              Thought this would be thicker, but the lovely lather and long-lasting scent makes up for it. I love it! Thought Lush couldn't get better than IT'S RAINING MEN, but this is. Is there a lotion that accompanies this? I'd like that.

              I stopped at a Lush counter for a demo of the Buffy bar. The sales associate used Olive Branch gel to wash my arm. I fell in love. I love the scent more than the perfume I've used over 30 years!! I now have my husband, son and daughter-in-law all showering with Olive Branch (and Buffy bars). I was told there is Olive Branch perfume on line from time to time. WHERE IS IT???!!!!!!

              Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

              I first chose to use this product because of its captivating smell. It's so warm, not spicy, but calming and "safe". I have acne prone skin, I get Acne even around my body, and ever since using The Olive Branch shower gel, my Acne has reduced by a significant amount. Plus, its a real bonus that my skin also feels softer after each bath. However, since it is so Liquidly/watery, its quite hard to use a controlled amount and I finished using a 500ml bottle pretty quickly. Also, when i shake the bottle to combine the oils with the rest of the substance, it create substantial bubbles, which i don't like much at times. However, great product overall.

                I have absolutely no complaints about this product. OMG when I saw this product at the store I was very intrigued by the nice herby citusy scent but when I actually used it in the shower, I was amazed by how little I had to use. I use a loufa in the shower and I was very pleasently surprised when I go an enormous amount of soft bubbles out of so little. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell...in sort of lingers on my skin after the shower and even makes my bathroom smell incredible. I would recommend this to EVERYONE!

                P.S. I forgot to say that I ran out of my regular facial cleanser so I used this and it worked wonders!! My face is extremely soft and smooth :)

                  I use this to wash my hands, for bubble baths on occasion when I don't have a bomb or melt or something, but also for a body wash. I have even used it as a face wash although it is not my primary face wash, I just wanted to see what it would feel like on my face to use it as a face wash and to be honest, it was pretty refreshing.

                  You can really notice the olive oil create a barrier to lock in moisture when you wash your hands. I highly recommend this product, In fact I am going to be ordering more tonight,

                  I adore The Olive Branch for the lovely smell and how it makes my skin feel like silk. One day I ran out of my normal face wash so I used my Olive Branch... I have super weird skin, both crazy oily and flaky and dry at the same time... well after one wash my face felt like silk.. the try parts were softer, the oily parts were less oily.. after a few washes my face was a uniform soft and lovely... now I swear by Olive Branch as a face wash too .

                  I was sadden when Tramp went retro, so i was looking for a new scent. It has an awesome smell, but unlike tramp, it dosen't last past the shower. It's VERY runny so don't drop the bottle. You'll lose it! There isn't much lather but it will get you clean and soft. It really helps clam my sun/heat rirrated skin.

                    This is the very first liquid soap I ever bought from Lush and it was pretty much love at first sight. I refused to try anything for a long, long time once I used this product- but Lush has so many other great things I eventually broke down and started to try other gels. However, this will always have a place in my heart and my shower!

                    This is the 1st time I have ever used a LUSH shower gel. I have fallen in love with this amazing shower gel. When I sniffed the bottle at my LUSH store I automatically thought WOW I can't wait to smell this in a warm and soapy shower. The clean, fresh, comfortable yet familiar scent will hug you in the shower. The lather you can achieve is incredible!!!!! I use a loofah with this product and it produces huge clouds of soft suds!!! I plan on hanging out on cloud 9 for years to come!!!!! :)

                      I snuck a bit of this that belonged to my daughter. LOVED it so decided to buy some of my own. I use it in the shower, usually twice per week. I am on several medications that dry out not only my skin, but my hair. So one day I decided to try Olive Branch as a shampoo---amazing results, though I only use it this way once a week or so. I have also discovered it is great as a bath gel, too---a little bit in a warm bath.....need I say more?

                      I've got pretty dry skin, and I love this product. Its got a gentle lather that doesnt dry out my skin, and the smell makes me feel like I'm in the mediteranean with sky and clouds and an attractive man named... anyway. If you've got dry skin, I'd check it out. Its got a good smell that lingers but doesnt smell like a mall outlet.

                        How does this product layer with Karma? I wear the lotion and perfume all the time, but I'm looking for an alternative to the soap that will avoid clashing with, if not enhance, my favorite scent.

                          A:

                          Olive Branch and Karma are great friends in terms of scent, I find! They both use lots of citrus, and the Olive Branch is a little softer, so I don't imagine it would take away from the Karma fragrance.
