Basd Indulgent Body Wash - Creme Brulee (240 mL)

Basd Indulgent Body Wash in Creme Brulee is a plant-based shower gel in a 240 mL squeeze tube. Organic aloe leaf juice is the first ingredient, ahead of the cleansers, and the formula also carries organic green tea leaf extract. The scent is a sweet, dessert-like creme brulee made from a blend of essential oils and naturally derived fragrances.

What is in it

The base is aloe juice rather than plain water. The lather comes from sodium coco-sulfate and decyl glucoside, two cleansers made from plant sources such as coconut and sugar. Glycerin, panthenol (provitamin B5), allantoin, soybean oil and vitamin E (tocopherol) round out the formula, and orange peel oil sits in the fragrance blend with the creme brulee notes. Glycol distearate gives the gel its pearly look, and hydroxyethylcellulose thickens it so it stays put in your palm.

Benzyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin and dehydroacetic acid keep the tube stable once opened, in place of parabens. Two ingredients are certified organic: the aloe juice and the green tea extract. Basd notes that ingredients may change from batch to batch, so the label on your tube is the final word.

Scent and texture

Creme brulee is the warmest scent in the Basd shower range: caramel and vanilla rather than citrus or herbs. The gel is medium thick and pearly, and a small squeeze makes a soft lather on a cloth or loofah. The tube stands on its cap, which makes the last of it easy to squeeze out.

How to use it

Wet your skin, squeeze a small amount into your hand or onto a washcloth, lather it over your body and rinse well. It is made for daily use in the shower or bath. Keep it out of your eyes, and rinse with water if any gets in.

Who it suits

It suits adults who want a body wash with a short list of plant-derived ingredients and a sweet, cozy scent, and who prefer a paraben-free formula. Check the ingredient list if you avoid soy, since soybean oil is in the formula. People who like a fresh morning scent may prefer one of the citrus or mint products in the range instead.

How it compares

Basd body lotions come in larger 450 mL pump bottles and share the plant-based approach, with aloe juice as the base. This body wash is the rinse-off step, in a smaller 240 mL tube that travels well and fits a gym bag.
