Suave Naturals Moisturizing Body Wash Cocoa Butter Review

I'm not a bar soap person and like liquid, either a body wash or a body gel, and I have my favorites, but a lot of times it's more aesthetic than anything else. I like the scents as well as the benefits I get. Although, I don't think I ever notice the benefits nearly as much as I want to. I use the Suave brand a lot, for price more than anything else. My most recent one, Suave Naturals Moisturizing Body Wash in Cocoa Butter, sounded great.

This body wash promises to gently cleanse and help restore the natural moisture, keeping skin soft without leaving a heavy residue behind. The product backs up those claims. It is definitely cleaning gently and it leaves my skin nice, moist, soft. It's great. Yet, I have one problem with it. I have to close my eyes when I use it.

The problem is all in my head, and it's all aesthetics. This body wash seems so thick to me. It feels like I'm putting heavy cream on my myself and washing with it. It's not really that much thicker than other body washes and certainly other body washes in the Suave Naturals family. It's just in the aesthetics. It looks heavy because of the light caramel color. 

So how does it smell? Like cocoa butter, shockingly enough. It's not a luscious smell, but it's a clean, healthy smell, although it is bordering on being too perfume-y, not enough to be bothersome, just enough to notice it. If you're overly sensitive to that, it might be something you want to avoid.

As for me, I don't think I'll be buying it again, but it has nothing to do with how well the product works. It's just in those silly aesthetics. If you can look past that, it's a good product.
