Dear friends,
Summers call for refreshing and energizing body washes which provide the right nourishment and relax the body too. I came across a body wash from the brand FabIndia, which contains the extracts of mandarin and vanilla fragrance. I am a total fan when it comes to trying out products from this brand. Fortunately, FabIndia products have never disappointed me. Without much hesitation, I grabbed their ‘Mandarin Vanilla Body Wash’. Keep scrolling to know how this product fared for me.
Price: INR 395 for 200 ml

My Experience with FabIndia Mandarin Vanilla Body Wash:
Packaging:
The packaging is simple, sturdy and sleek. It comes in a tall white bottle with a flip-open cap. Having a flip-open type cap is not good as such caps are not very strong when you are travelling and tend to break easily. The cap dispenses the right quantity of product, hence avoiding any unwanted wastage.
All the product details pertaining to the description, directions of use and ingredient details are listed on the body of the bottle in a detailed fashion. It would have been beneficial if the product was available in smaller sizes for travelling purpose. Other than that, there are no significant issues with the packaging.
Fragrance:
The fragrance of this body wash is something to die for. Since I love vanilla fragrances, I specially opted for this body wash. Even though this contains a blend of mandarin and vanilla flavours, I feel the vanilla flavour is more pronounced than the mandarin flavour in this body wash. Its fragrance is so sweet that it will instantly uplift your mood after the bath.
It relaxes the mood and energizes the body simultaneously. The smell of this body wash is quite overpowering. So if you don’t like vanilla fragrances, you can skip this one. The good part about this body wash is that it is sulphate and paraben free. Usually, FabIndia products are paraben free which helps it to get an upper hand over other beauty and skin care products.
Texture and Consistency:
This body wash comes in a gel form. The colour of this gel is lightish orange. Consistency is not very runny but it is not thick either. It has a medium thick consistency which is better than that of a body lotion. The body wash gets diluted very easily when mixed with water. You would not need a large quantity. Better take less quantity and save more. This body wash is suitable for all skin types.
Results:
I take a generous amount of this body wash in my palm and dilute it with water. When used without a loofah, it does not lather well. So, I always use a loofah while using this gel as it works the best in this way. You can also use it with a body sponge. It works fine that way as well. After taking bath, the smell remains for about half an hour after which it gradually goes away. This is one downside of this product. However, the smell is perfectly refreshing for summer season usage.
What I noticed about this body wash is that it is a mild cleanser which has all the natural ingredients and cleanses the body well. It did not dry out my skin. I would not say it is superiorly hydrating, but it definitely nourishes and soothes the skin. I did not feel the need to use a body lotion post using this gel. I really love how gentle its gel formula is. For people who extremely dry skin, you might need to follow up with a body lotion after using this.
Overall:
I don’t have many complaints with this product. The only downside I feel is that the fragrance is not long staying. But I can ignore this fact because I love its fragrance so much. Moreover, with this shower gel, I can even skip using a body lotion. It does not increase the dryness of my skin which I think is a significant merit of this product. So, overall I am impressed with the gel formulation and I will experiment with other variants of FabIndia shower gel in future.
