Neroli and mandarin essential oils create a warm, floral-citrus scent that feels genuinely luxurious — sophisticated enough to make every shower feel like a spa moment. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Botanical luxury. Certified organic.

There's a significant difference between a body wash that's marketed as natural and one that's actually certified organic. This one is the latter — Soil Association certified, meaning every organic ingredient claim has been independently verified to the highest standard in the UK.

The base formula uses coco-glucoside as its primary cleanser — a genuinely gentle, plant-derived surfactant made from coconut and fruit sugars that produces a soft, conditioning lather without the harshness of conventional sulphates. It's supported by cocamidopropyl betaine, another coconut-derived cleanser that helps stabilise the lather and further enhances the gentle, skin-compatible cleansing action.

Glycerin and saccharide isomerate work together to support skin hydration during cleansing. Saccharide isomerate in particular is a sophisticated skin-identical moisturising complex — derived from plant sugars — that mimics the skin's own natural moisturising factors, helping to maintain comfort and softness even in hard water.

Certified organic aloe vera leaf juice powder, certified organic mango fruit extract, and certified organic bilberry extract complete the active botanical layer. Mango fruit extract is naturally rich in vitamins A and C and brings antioxidant support to the formula. Bilberry — one of the most antioxidant-rich botanical extracts available — adds a further layer of skin-protective botanical goodness.

Neroli and mandarin essential oils create one of the most beautiful natural scent combinations in botanical skincare. Neroli — steam-distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree — is one of the most botanically prized essential oils available, with a complex, soft floral character that feels genuinely luxurious. Mandarin brings a warmer, sweeter citrus note that complements the neroli beautifully — lifting it without overpowering it. Together they create a scent that's uplifting without being sharp, calming without being heavy, and sophisticated enough to feel genuinely special every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Soil Association certified mean? The Soil Association is the UK's leading organic certification body. Soil Association certification means that the organic ingredient claims in this product have been independently verified to the highest standard — it's not a self-declared label, it's a rigorous third-party audit. For skincare, it means you can trust that the certified organic ingredients are genuinely organic, traceable, and produced to strict environmental and ethical standards.

Is this body wash sulphate-free? This formula contains no SLS or SLES — the harshest and most commonly irritating sulphates found in conventional products. The primary cleanser is coco-glucoside, a gentle plant-derived surfactant, supported by sodium coco-sulfate — a coconut-derived ingredient significantly gentler than SLS and approved for use in Soil Association certified organic formulations.

Is this body wash suitable for sensitive skin? Yes — the formula is free from synthetic fragrance, SLS, parabens, and the most common skin irritants found in conventional body washes. The scent comes entirely from pure neroli and mandarin essential oils. If you have a known sensitivity to any botanical ingredient, we recommend a patch test before first use.

What is neroli and why is it so special? Neroli is steam-distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree — it takes an enormous quantity of flowers to produce a small amount of oil, which is why it's one of the most prized essential oils in natural perfumery and skincare. Its scent is complex, soft, and floral — quite unlike any synthetic orange fragrance. In this formula it creates a genuinely luxurious scent experience that feels a world away from a standard citrus body wash.

What is Prevented Ocean Plastic? Prevented Ocean Plastic is packaging made from plastic collected from coastal communities and waterways before it reaches the ocean. By using it for our bath range, we're actively supporting the infrastructure that stops plastic pollution at source. The bottle is fully recyclable after use.

Which scent should I choose? Neroli & Mandarin is our most sophisticated variant — soft, warm, and floral-citrus. Lavender & Geranium is our most calming variant — ideal for evening use. Orange & Bergamot is our most uplifting variant.
