Shower gel fresh scent - Lemongrass gentle and soothing, balancing skin pH - 200 ml

"Lemongrass shower gel is a wonderful product! It smells divine, cleans gently and the natural ingredients soothe eczema/dermatitis prone skin. The scent is like summer in a bottle! Very fresh! I definitely recommend it:)" Emily, Odylique customer

Why buy

Like other Odylique washing products, Lemongrass Shower Gel is based on gentle cleansing ingredients from coconut, corn glucose and extra virgin olive oil. The refreshing and typically penetrating scent of "lemon sorbet" with a hint of mint makes it the perfect product for an invigorating bath that lasts a long time with a volume of 200 ml.

If you like a fresh scent that literally kicks you up a notch, then we highly recommend pairing this product with a body scrub and body balm with the same lemongrass scent from the high-quality brand Organic Essence (the first brand in the world to reduce plastic waste by developing compostable packaging).

Apply the product to wet skin or wash sponge, soap and rinse. Avoid eye contact. Can be used as a pre-shave primer for better razor glide for both men and women. Can also be used as a hand gel.

What is coco glucoside

Coco Glucoside is non-ionic surfactantwhich can be used as a foaming agent, conditioner or emulsifier. It is derived from renewable raw materials such as coconut oil and fruit sugars and is completely biodegradable.

It is from the same group of "green" surfactants as Decyl Glucoside and Lauryl Glucoside. Contains no diethanolamides, lauryl sulfates, ether sulfates, parabens or formaldehydes.

Compared to cheaper and often more aggressive alternatives such as anionic surfactants (such as sodium lauryl sulfate - SLS), it has several advantages that explain its higher price in products:

• Biodegradability: Coco-glucoside is fully biodegradable, making it environmentally friendly. Cheaper surfactants can be less environmentally friendly and their production often involves synthetic substances or palm oil, which has a problematic environmental impact.
• Skin-friendly: Coco-glucoside is extremely gentle, does not irritate even sensitive skin and is safe for all skin types, including children's and sensitive skin. In contrast, surfactants such as SLS can cause skin irritation and dryness.
• Improved foaminess and texture: coco-glucoside creates a stable foam, a desirable property in natural products, while improving product texture and consistency without the need to add artificial foaming agents.
• Natural Ingredients: It is made from coconut oil and glucose, making it suitable for natural and organic certified products like Odylique. Cheaper alternatives often contain synthetic substances or petroleum derivatives.

The use of more expensive ingredients such as coco-glucoside ensures gentleness, environmental sustainability and quality, which are the reasons why products like Odylique shower gels cost more than conventional cosmetic alternatives.

Key ingredients

• Aloe vera juice: intensively moisturizes and soothes the skin thanks to its anti-inflammatory effects. Aloe vera promotes the regeneration of dry and irritated skin, leaving it fresh and nourished.

• Gentle cleansers made from coconut, corn glucose and extra virgin olive oil: These natural cleansing ingredients gently cleanse the skin without drying it out or disturbing its natural protective barrier. They are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

• Extra virgin olive oil: Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it softens the skin and protects it from free radicals. It promotes the health and elasticity of the skin, helping to keep it soft and hydrated.

• Lemongrass essential oil: Gives the product a fresh citrus scent that stimulates the senses. Lemongrass oil is both antiseptic and refreshing, helping to cleanse the skin and leaving it revitalized.

• Vegetable glycerin without palm oil: Attracts and retains moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated. Using glycerin without palm oil is environmentally friendly and supports sustainable agriculture.

• Sugar cane alcohol: It acts as a natural preservative that protects the product from microbial contamination without drying out the skin. It is gentler than conventional alcohols and helps keep the product fresh.

These ingredients combine to create a gentle and effective shower gel that not only cleanses, but also nourishes and protects the skin naturally, making it exceptional compared to ordinary shower gels.

^{*Odylique uses organic sugar cane alcohol as part of the process of extracting biodynamic herbs in its products. This alcohol is food grade and fermented from organic sugar cane. It plays a key role in extracting and preserving the beneficial properties of herbs without the need for synthetic preservatives.}

^{For some products, such as Rose Water Toner, they state that no additional alcohol is added. Alcohol is present only in small amounts as a residue after the herbal tinctures used in the formulations, ensuring that the products remain gentle on the skin while taking advantage of the natural preservative and extraction properties of sugar cane alcohol}

^{**Glycerin without palm oil is used for several reasons, mainly related to environmental and ethical concerns. Conventional glycerin is often produced from palm oil, which is associated with tropical deforestation, loss of biodiversity and social problems in countries where oil palm is grown (especially in South East Asia).}

^{By replacing glycerin made from palm oil with vegetable glycerin from other sources, such as coconut oil, companies are trying to minimise their environmental impact and encourage more sustainable agricultural practices. In addition, consumers interested in ethical purchasing and sustainability prefer palm oil-free products.}

^{The use of glycerin from non-palm sources thus helps to protect the environment and promotes sustainability in the cosmetics industry.}
