This body cleanser is delightful. It hydrates, doesn't irritate, and importantly, it's non-stripping, leaving my skin barrier intact. It has a mild sweet almond scent. And it's long-lasting, as a little goes a long way. In contrast to the Scrubbi Bamboes, the product itself, despite its small opening, efficiently dispenses enough for each use, making application just right.
