A Limey, Creamy Body Wash To Take You To Next Level Showering

It's time to graduate from Jolly Rancher-style body washes!

 


Major epiphany: There are simply not enough lime beauty products on the market (with the exception of C.O. Bigelow's small collection of lime-scented cleansers and washes.) Lemon keeps straight on crushing lime and undermining its authority, but at the same time, lemons are so harsh and often smell like canned duster. But limes are boss! Think about it! They're a great shade of green, they make excellent drinks, and key lime pie? It takes superhuman strength or a deadly food allergy to say no to that.

Anyway, someone had to do something about the lack of lime everywhere but wedged into your beer. And that someone was Four Truffles and their Lime Basil Mandarin Creamy Body Wash. It's so refreshing and tangy, and it's even got a little spiciness to it — thanks, basil. It's a totally grown-up body wash, perfect for when it's time to graduate from those fruity shower gels that look and smell like melted Jolly Ranchers. Oh, and it smells like a vacation, but not in the overly obvious way (like how most tropical products insist on reeking of hardcore coconut facsimile). Plus, it's made with milk and shea butter — which make it really moisturizing and rich enough to shave with.

Four Truffles is also known for their trifecta of "good" oils: argan (which is rich in fatty acids so it hydrates and reduces irritations), olive and coconut. What it's not made with: parabens or sulfates, which, you know, could annoy your skin at best, give you cancer at worst. So, yeah! Best to leave those out.

Plus, Four Truffles sources all of their natural ingredients from women-operated cooperatives in Morocco and West Africa, and they give 10% of their profits to charities that benefit women and children. Only one complaint: they only come in 2oz sizes. Oh well. Buy a bunch. They're only six bucks.
