Product Type: Body Wash

This essential oil body wash is real liquid soap: coconut, olive and sunflower oils turned into soap with potassium hydroxide, then softened with shea butter, aloe vera and glycerin. Orion Wellness pours it into an 8 oz amber bottle in two scents, Lemon Zest and Relax & Restore, and both carry their fragrance only from essential oils named on the label.

  • Soap, not detergent. Plant oils saponified the old-fashioned way rather than a synthetic surfactant base.
  • Lemon Zest bottle. Three citrus essential oils for a sharp, wide-awake shower.
  • Relax & Restore bottle. A floral, woody blend that smells like the end of the day.
  • Organic oils listed. The label marks the plant oils, the shea and the aloe as organic.

How Liquid Soap Behaves

An essential oil body wash made from saponified oils pours thinner than the thick gels in most showers, and that is a feature of the chemistry rather than a watered-down bottle. Detergent washes are thickened with salt and polymers; true liquid soap stays loose and runny. A small squeeze on a washcloth or loofah builds a full lather, and an 8 oz bottle lasts longer than its runny pour suggests. Coconut oil gives the quick, bubbly foam, olive oil a creamier, slower one, and the two together make a lather that rinses off clean.

Picking Between the Two Scents

Lemon Zest is the bright one: three citrus oils that smell sharp in the bottle and fresh in a steamy shower, a natural fit for mornings. Relax & Restore leans warm, with lavender up top, vanilla in the middle and cedarwood at the bottom, the kind of scent that suits an evening shower. Rinse-off products leave only a light trace of fragrance on the skin, so the scent is mostly a shower experience and will not compete with your perfume afterward.

Ingredients in both bottles: water, organic coconut oil, potassium hydroxide, organic olive oil, organic sunflower oil, organic shea butter, organic aloe vera, organic rosemary extract, organic glycerin, then the scent's own extracts, citric acid and essential oils. Lemon Zest adds cucumber peel, green tea and burdock root extracts with oils of lemon, grapefruit and bergamot; Relax & Restore adds chamomile, rosehip and sunflower extracts with oils of lavender, vanilla and cedarwood.

Hard Water and Soap Film

Soap reacts with the calcium and magnesium in hard water, which can leave a thin film on skin or on the tub. If your tap water is hard, rinse a few seconds longer and wipe the bottle cap dry between uses. Store it somewhere shaded and cool, and use it within 12 months, as the label advises.

Soap and citrus oils both sting in the eyes, so keep it below the neckline and rinse with plenty of cool water if any splashes up.

Liquid Soap for Every Shower

Is it the same as castile soap? It is made the same way liquid castile soap is made, by saponifying plant oils with potassium hydroxide, though coconut oil leads the list here rather than olive.

Does it double as hand soap? Yes. Decant some into a foaming pump with a little water and it makes a light foam at the sink.

Will it work in a bath? A capful under running water makes soft bubbles that fade quickly; it is happiest as a shower wash.
