Avalon Organics Bath & Shower Gel, Nourishing Lavender, 12 Oz

I use several of the Avalon Organics products and have for a number of years now. It's very important to me that I avoid the harmful skin care ingredients that can be cancer causing and endocrine interrupters and the Avalon line ensures this. Skin care products can be outrageously expensive and I have to admit that I supplement my Avalon products with other products however, the Avalon products are a part of my daily routine. When I use a product over time I look for consistency in effectiveness, quality and packaging. The shower gel, day creme and body lotion all have a pleasing smell (I use the lavender gel/lotion), texture is consistent and good and the products are effective. Pump action of the dispensers very good and consistent.

I have very dry skin/sensitive (atopic, because Ive using chemical chemo) and sometimes use brands like eucerin,la roche,etc for my skin but they are expensive for the quantity they offer. This is not that cheap but just compare other brands, like Im not that rich for buying expensive skin care, even more for the whole body. The scent is soft lavender not that strong, kind of a little vanilla there. Leaves my skin soft and clean, doesnt feel like sticky or super dry, is about enough cleanse, so If you aply your lotion, your skin is gooing to feel light weight. It didnt burn or feel weird about the scent on my skin, be careful because it might work on my sensitive skin but have in mind this kind of natural products have sensitizers for some people, overall and so far my experience is good and I would buy again. They have update they liquid shipment so It was complete inside the bottle.

Works and smells nice. Very drying though

In the past, there has been leakage when it was sent by mail. I received some leakage( the cap at the bottom of the pump was loose) Why not just cap the bottle and attach the pump separately in the box when sent? In a store, the pump can be attached to the bottle but sending by mail, separate. No leakage but the customer still has the pump to attach. This is what Philosophy does when it ships their product. I had a time in getting the pump to pop up to pump. I turned it the way the arrow pointed and it still did not pop up. I unscrewed the pump from the bottle, held it tight and then turned in the direction pointed at the top and it popped up. There are sometimes issues with pump tops( Philosophy too).The shower gel is a gel like consistency not creamy. Love the lavender smell, this smells more like the plant(lavender with an herbal undertone) Love it. Now the smell does not last all day but well enough after a shower.Lathers up rich to me. I also purchased the body lotion and will review it also. 32 oz is a nice size and should last sometime as this is not the only body wash in the shower.

This smells good and is gentle, especially for women. The large bottle lasts and the pump is very convenient. I like that the ingredients are clean, not a bunch of chemicals and it still does the job.I've used this product for many years. The lavender oil scent, is true lavender, not chemicals, and it is wonderful. You feel clean after using this shower gel and it doesn't take a lot so it's an economical choice.

This body wash is okay. I’m not sure I’ll order it again. Here’s the pros and cons:Pros:You get a lot of body wash for a good price.Cons:This isn’t organic body wash. For some reason, companies can put Organics in their name without being certified organic.This body wash has an overwhelmingly strong scent. At first to me, it smelled like Pinesol. But then I went outside and smelled my lavender plant, and realized this body wash smells just like lavender….just real strong. Im not sure if the scent is synthetic.This body wash doesn’t lather well. It seems to initially lather decently enough, then once you start moving the wash cloth around on your body, the lather disappears.

I bought this in 2021 two times, and I liked it. Then I tried other ones too. Now I came back four years later to buy it again.😄And what a surprise! It was $7.51four years ago and it is $16.85 now, in 2025. I recommend it, it is a very good shower gel, just not for me at this price.

This smells so good. I love this product. Doesn't lather as much as regular body wash, but I just use a little more.
