The Joy of Jelly Shower Jelly

Posted on 05:24 by tony

Rumours have been circulating for a while that Lush plan to phase out all of their shower gels, and only offer jelly alternatives instead. On the outset I really support this idea; it would mean less ingredients needed to preserve the smells and consistency of shower gel; it would also mean products could be sold in completely recyclable containers. The only downfall I see is that the shower jellies do not seem to last as long as their gel counterparts, and collectors such as myself would have less time to store and use rare and retro items.

In all honesty, when I first read about the concept of Lush's shower jellies, I got a feeling it was something I would not like, nor want to try. I conjured up images of myself struggling to hold pieces of slippery jelly in the shower while desperately trying to clean myself - all the whole cursing and wishing I had a shower gel on stand-by.

However, after reading reviews from other sceptical Lushies, I was more than intrigued, and ended up buying a range of rare ones on eBay. One of these rare ones was The Joy Of Jelly. Sharing the same scent as one of Lush's best selling bath bombs, the notorious 'Sex Bomb', this jelly possesses the faint allure of jasmine and ylang ylang.

The scent is a faint one, but it does tend to linger on your skin for a long time. The Shower Jelly also lathers really nicely and is amazingly moisturising, if a little fiddly at times. It left my skin feeling super clean but not at all dry like alot of other shower products. 

Shower jellies are one of our most innovative products and there are many fun ways to use them. You can crush them into a shower pouf to create a rich lather or rub them directly on your body. Try freezing (or chilling) them for an especially cool, refreshing shower or bath experience. Shower jellies also make great shampoos and add lots of softness and shine to hair. Alternatively, you can do what I did and chuck a slab in the bath, under the running water, and watch the tub foam.

Overall, the product is a good idea, I just wasn't overly keen on the smell.  It possesses a flowery, jasmine scent which is soft, sexy and girly. However, it's not a scent I particularly care for so I would not use again.

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis), Propylene Glycol, Tiger Lily and Red Rose Petal Extract (Lilliam candidum and Rosa centifolia), Perfume, Iota Carrageenan Extract, Ylang Petals Dried (Cananga odorata), Jasmine Flowers (Jasminum officinale), Synthetic Musk, Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale), Clary Sage Oil (Salvia sclarea), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Benzyl Benzoate, Titanium Dioxide, FD&C Red No. 4, D&C Red No. 33, D&C Red No. 27, FD&C Blue No. 1, Methylparaben.
