Wonderful Stuff!
I have been using Giovanni Body Wash (White Tea scent) for several years now. I have extremely sensitive skin, prone to acne, rashes and irritations when using most other soaps. I have wasted tons of money trying soap after soap hoping to find something that wouldn’t irritate my skin, lathering well, while leaving me feeling clean. This soap has a really nice, soft scent, washes skin clean of dirt and oil and leaves no soap scum after rinsed off. This is the only soap I have found that does not cause break-outs/irritations and lathers well. I truely wish I could find a more econonmcal product that does the same job as this body wash but still haven’t found one. So I try to find really good deals when buying this body wash to help off set the cost.
Please note: this soap is a little drying.. so if you already have a dry skin conidtion this may not be the soap for you. I lived in a very warm humid climate when I started using this soap and did not notice the drying effect…
Where’s the moisture?
Ok, so I absolutely love the packaging and the nifty description on the back of the bottle, but when I’m paying .64/oz, I expect it to moisturize. Giovanni claims that their washes include “essential oil complex to soothe, smooth and regenerate skin’s lost moisture” but the ingredients’ list contains no such ingredient, unless they are referring to the “Essential Oil Fragrance” in which case they are blatantly lying because essential oils provide scent, not moisture. Even the dollar bottles of cheapo wash at Walmart contain some type of moisturizer, albeit petroleum. Sometimes I use St. Ives Whipped Silk body wash and it’s definitely more moisturizing than Giovanni due to the sunflower oil. I’ve noticed even JASON’s washes contain Sodium PCA to moisturize (although their stuff also has harsh sulfates, so I’ve never tried them). Or maybe Giovanni deliberately left out any moisturizers out so that we buy their lotions/body butters. Ha!
While I sound like I hate the product, I…
