The Olive Branch Shower Gel
How to use How it's made
Our shower gels are loaded with fresh, natural ingredients and contain very little water, so a little goes a long way. Get naked, hop in the shower, and lather up. LUSH shower gels are also excellent shampoos.

Mandarin shower gel with skin-softening olive oil

If your body has been beaten down by the rigors of the rat race, extend an Olive Branch as a peace offering and give yourself some tender loving care. Once you give it a good shake (the shower gel, not your body), the skin softening organic olive oil will be nicely blended in. Loaded with vital antioxidants, with an infusion of vine leaves, sea salt and fresh mandarin juice, it’s just like a warm embrace from the Mediterranean. It’s uplifting and reassuring, and brings peace of mind and body whenever you lather up in the bath or shower.

Features

  • Shower escape: A gentle, Mediterranean inspired gel with skin softening olive oil for dry skin.
  • Uplifting and refreshing: Shower with the citrus scents of mandarin and lemon with a just hint of fresh orange groves.
  • Get juiced: Mandarin juice has been used for years to lighten the mood and freshen up dull skin.

from Karma Kush
"OMG!!!! My most favourite or favourites when it comes to shower gels. The olive branch is even too amazing for words. You don't need too much to get a lot of lather and the smell is to die for!!!. The Olive Branch is so moisturising that I don't even need lotion when ...more"

    It does have a nice scent, but I was picturing it not to be as musky. I didn't like the smell of it in the shower and when I got out, got dressed and went downstairs the first comment I got from my father was that I was wearing a man's deoderant. I gave it to my brother and it suits him a lot more.
    In its defense, I'm more of a citrusy, vanilla-y, girly scent person, so I would have never bought an "olive" scented body wash in the first place. It came in a gift box.

      I love this soap! It smells so good! I even use it as a shampoo so that I can smell it all day. I feel so clean and refreshed after using this. I have senstive skin and don't find that it irritaes my skin even if I use it every day.

            Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

            I received a bottle of this for the first time in a gift pack just before Thanksgiving (Canadian Thanksgiving, that is) and I have NEVER looked back. It smells wonderful; so much so that my boyfriend (who makes fun of my Lush obsession) has been caught using it once or twice! The only thing that would make my life even MORE complete is if there were a perfume scented like Olive Branch (or if there is, point me in the right direction!)

            But seriously. Love, love, LOVE this product.

              The Olive branch is exactly what I am looking for in a shower gel and when I'm using this product I felt especailly good <3 The smell dosen't smell like olives to me. It smells what always thought lush smelt like haha. But its really a good smell I think it has the citrus and sweet factor. It isnt moisturizing but for me it didnt dry me out cause I already have dry skin adnd I always apply lotion after the shower.

                I use this daily. Probably my favourite smelling body wash.

                Though, I liked it more when it was thicker. Recently it's been pretty watery and hard to hold in my hand.

                Comments about LUSH The Olive Branch Shower Gel:

                So when I first used this shower gel I fell in love. My sister had become a total LUSH junkie and decided to get me a gift box for Christmas. I found a small bottle of The Olive Branch and loved it. The tiny bottled lasted over a month, because it surprisingly only took a tiny bit to lather really well!



                Most people seem to complain about it being to runny, but I actually like it that way :)



                The only thing that would make it better is if the smell lasted at all! The minute I step out of the bathroom I can't smell it anymore, like it won't stick to my body.

                This is a fantabulous shower gel, and I hope they never get rid of it! First, it smells divine! It is really calming and very pleasant. The olive oil is very moisturizing, and I don't need to use my moisturizer after the shower. It also works on our hair, but the olive oil doesn't moisturize the hair as much as your body, But I just glided the Therapy massage bar down the length of my hair (like a solid shampoo bar) and this is probably the best hair ive had in a long time! If your in a hurry, definitely use this for your hair.

                I bought this product for my mother for her birthday/mother's day. I have also tried it for myself (she let me). I have to say it's not a scent that I really enjoy. It's alright, but it's just not my cup of tea. I bought it for her knowing that she likes products containing olive oil. She seems to enjoy the scent, and it's moisturizing properties, however she finds it to be too runny and is annoyed at how you have to shake it up every time you use it. It does foam up nice and leave you nice and clean, but it's not something I, or she, would use every day to indulge. I do find the product to be more of a masculine/unisex scent, so men would probably find it nice to use. All in all, it an alright product, but for the price I probably wouldn't buy it again unless somebody requested it for a special occasion.

                  I've used this with a pouf or jus lather on with hand. Does not lather as well with wash cloth.

                  It smells fantastic and truely relaxes my mind yet uplifts me. I find myself sinking in to the intoxicating scent, and showers are longer just so I can experience the scent even longer.

                  I have even washed my hair with this shower gel. Fantastic!

                  I wish the scent lingered on my skin after the shower...oh well still amazing!! One of my faves!!

                    My friend sent me a small bottle of this for my birthday, and I thought it was lovely :) There is a slight smell, so if you're someone who's sensitive to smells, this is one of the soaps that is probably better for you. The smell doesn't last long outside of the shower either.



                    It's very liquidy, and doesn't lather a whole bunch, but it left me feeling very clean, so it didn't matter.

                    I bought a few small bottles of different shower gels from Lush to see which ones I liked the best. This one, by far, has the most pleasant smell of all the ones I have tried. I have an affinity for bergamot and this product delivers! If you're worried about smelling like bruschetta from the olive oil, worry not. It's very subtle. Bergamot is clearly the star here.

                      Lovely, fairly long-lasting fruity bubbles, coupled with The Sicilian bath bomb, made for a perfect summer's evening bath. Although I like this shower gel, the price is a bit prohibitive and I know I can find similar quality shower gels for less money.

                        This is my favourite Lush product by far. The smell is absolutely beautiful and makes me feel calm and happy in my morning shower!

                        I've been using it every day for a year now and never want to stop!

                          I have spent years looking for a body wash that does not dry out my skin. The olive oil in this product has a softening and moisturizing effect on my sensitive skin. The scent is wonderful, subtle and not too overpowering, and it stays on my skin overnight. It takes very little on my bath puff to create a very rich lather, and when you rinse it off there is no residue or oily feel. It costs a bit more than the usual bath gels, but it works for me and that makes it more than worth the money. Keep making this!

                            At first I wasn't a big fan of the scent when I first sniffed it, but then it grew on me. It's not floral at all, it smells like sweet tobacco and bergamot with a hint of orange and olive. It's simply divine when paired with the solid perfume, I get asked what I'm wearing all day. Give it a shot, you'll love it.

                              I thought this would smell similarly to the Olive Oil soap, which to be honest I'm not all that fond of. But this smells differently; fresh and sweet but not overwhelmingly so.



                              I wouldn't really call this a gel, the consistency is very watery. So you may not want to pour this into your hands (very wasteful). Instead I recommend a sponge, which will make the bottle last much longer.



                              This is a lovely cleanser that I would recommend to anyone!

                                I have asked this once before but did not receive a response. My question is you state this is vegan with no animal products what so ever, but isn't the red number 4 coloring from bug carcasses??

                                  FD&C Red No. 4 is an azo dye, meaning it is a synthetic dye. It is not derived from animals.
