Review: Savonnerie French Lavender Body Wash & Body Lotion

I've been after the Savonnerie French Lavender Body Wash and Body Lotion for months. In fact, the Body Lotion was in a wishlist I made way back in September!
For Christmas, I received two Savonnerie Body Lotions from my now late Mother-in-Law, the French Lavender and Sicillian Orange Blossom.


Savonnerie was created in London in 1997 with the aim of creating a line of botanical products inspired by nature that make you look and feel special. 
17 years later and they are still remain true to this philosophy. All products are handmade in the UK, blended with the finest essential oils for effective formulas to create a truly luxurious bathing experience. 
All Savonnerie products are free from synthetic fragrance & colours, sulphates, silicones, parabens, petrochemicals and SLS/ALS. They do not test on animals and all products are suitable for use for vegetarians.

An Young, the creator of these fine natural body care products, very kindly sent me the French Lavender Body Wash to go with my Body Lotion. 
The Body Wash* £11.95 is incredibly soothing and non-drying for my skin. I use it with a shower puff (poof?) and apply a small amount, the wash develops into a rich lather which washes off and leaves my skin feeling soothed and pampered. I use this in my morning shower but especially like to use it after a long day as the warmth of French Lavender, Geranium and Bergamot is so relaxing!

I follow up using the body wash with the glorious French Lavender Body Lotion, £13.95. You only need to apply a tiny bit as whilst the lotion is light, is goes a surprisingly long way! It absorbs beautifully into the skin to restore hydration and improve texture. The essentials oils mentioned in the body wash are combined with Jojoba, Rosehip and Camellia Seed oils. I adore this lotion, it was well worth waiting for!

Do go and check out the range over at the Savonnerie website and let me know what you think!

    1. I have yet to open the orange blossom but as I love citrus scents, I can't imagine not loving it! I'm going through a bit of an anti-rose phase at the moment after coming off a rose-high hehe x

  5. I tried some Savonnerie products back in 2012 and really enjoyed them but with everything I haven't repurchased as too distracted by other brands. Sorry to hear about your Mother in Law that is sad news.
