The Olive Branch Shower Gel

Mediterranean mandarin gel.

$27.95
Qty:

This product does not contain animal
products of any kind.

Mandarin juice

The mandarin juice shares its properties with the mandarin oil (Citrus reticulata) obtained from the fruit's peel. It has been used for years to soothe the skin, freshen dull skin and to lighten the mood.


Like the warmth of the Mediterranean.

If your body is beaten by the rigours of the rat race, accept an olive branch. The Olive Branch has a welcoming warmth to it, with organic olive oil to soften your skin, an infusion of vine leaves, sea salt and the fresh juice of mandarins.

Accept a peace offering.

It is uplifting and reassuring, and brings peace of mind whenever you lather up in the bath or shower.

Fair Trade olive oil

The oil's active ingredients are vitamin E (a fat soluble antioxidant), oleic acid (omega 9 monounsaturated fatty acid), hydroxytyrosol (plant polyphenol) and squalene (an organic compound found in human sebum).

5 stars from Kat

" I Love, Love, Love this shower gel! It smells amazing, and the scent stayed on my skin for quite a few hours after I got out of the shower! The consistency is quite watery, but it still lathers quite well. ...more "

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 purchased the small sized bottle of The Olive Branch to experiment.....and KAPow! I will never use another shower wash again! It's got the perfect scent- blending smoothly with my Karma Kreams and other Karma products. It has a separated look, but before you use, just shuffle the bottle and it takes on a smoothie appearance, gliding across your skin like melted butter! I liked it so much, I returned to Lush, got two large bottles and then went home and dumped out my Neutrogena body wash! I LOVE it, I'm telling you! You will too.

      This lathers up so thick and it leaves your skin insanely moisturized (not in an oily way). The smell is so so good.

      I guess I was looking for more citrus, but found this to be bit like a "manly" cologne. The product (like all Lush products) itself is fantastic, just not the scent described. I guess the plus side for me is trying out more Lush products! :)

      Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

      I didn't try this gel for a year, because I'm not big on citrus smells. This is far more than just citrus. It's a rich, heady fragrance that will follow you all day. It smells like someone took a sun-drenched orange grove and concentrated it into a tiny bottle. You'll find yourself using this in place of perfume!

      Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

      I love this fragrance. I'd like it in a lotion. It's so comforting and cozy...reminds me of some baked good and yet there's the citrus component which makes it cleaner smelling. The problem I have with it is it's watery and the fragrance doesn't last long enough. And--they need to make some other products with this fragrance. I'd love a bar of soap in this. I think it's the bergamot I like.

      This is the best body wash (couldn't call it a gel ) that I have ever used. I have such dry skin that I was applying moisturizer and hand lotion all day long, before I found this product. The moisturizing effect lasts all day and my skin is super smooth. I no longer have to lotion up. I love love love this product!

              I bought a small bottle of this b/c i wasn't sure if i'd like it or if the smell would bother me after a few uses. i love the smell of this stuff. i can see how some might find it masculine. it is so moisturizing. i noticed how moisturizing it is when i saw my dry feet were no longer dry. it is very runny, but i use it with my shower gloves. i can get a lather with them. my small bottle lasted me about 3 weeks. i highly suggest getting wash gloves to make it last longer and so it doesn't just run down the drain. i am totally addicted to this stuff! as soon as pay day comes i will be buying the biggest bottle i can :)

                This was my first Lush shower gel and easily my favorite. The smell is different to anything I have smelled before but smells like what I imagine Italy smells like. The scent is also a little masculine but I don't mind. Many people say one con is that its runny but I actually like it runnier compared to thicker shower gels. A little bit creates amazing lather like nothing else and leaves a light fresh scent.

It is runny, but I really don't have a problem with it. I just pour a few drops then if its not enough, i pour a few more, and the bottle last forever! I absolutely love this, and it's on my top 5 Lush list. :)

                        This smell definitely takes some getting used to! You really have to love STRONG scents! It's a musky smell that really grows on you, and left me looking forward to my showers every day. It did leave my skin scented, but in a very delicate and light way. Not overwhelming at all. This will make your whole bathroom smell just amazing. I do believe it's a smell you'll either love or hate though! Try it

                          Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

                          I love Olive Branch so much, I feel compelled to take time out of my day to do something as goofy as writing a review for this product.
                          PROS:
                          SMELL- lasts long, and leaves my clothes smelling sweet
                          LATHER- I disagree with some of the other reviews... I think the lather is great, very silky and thick. The gel itself is a little watery, but if you put it on a loofah... problem solved!
                          CLEANS
                          MOISTURIZING- most of the time, I don't have to use my Charity Pot Moisturizer after showering
                          CONS:
                          I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH!

                            The smell is incomparably relaxing. Cleans effectively and lathers very nicely. A bit runny but a little goes a long way.

                                Absolutely love this scent and it's not overbearing but long lasting. Other people that get close to me have commented on the nice scent. It is great to use with a shower puff as it will lather up very well. I would use it everyday if it was less expensive. Maybe I use too much. If used daily, I would have to buy a new large bottle about every month or maybe a little longer. I use cheaper products on work days and use this on days off.

                                Should this really be called a "gel"?

                                Because, you see, this stuff is *really* runny. It's more of a shower wash - definitely not gel-like.
                                With that said, though, Olive Branch is still a great product. For one thing, it's beautifully moisturizing. Olive oil really does work wonders for soft smooth skin. And while I wasn't a fan of the manly smell at first, it grew on me - once you pick up the subtle orange tones, it feels like you're walking through a vineyard. Warm and sultry, mmm.
                                It does tend to separate and needs a good shake before use; also, the thin consistency means that it goes quickly. Still, though, I give it four stars!
