The back-from-hiatus lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 September 2026 8 Comments

Two things I picked up from Lush yesterday, along with a small size of the reissued Mango Lassi shower gel: Banana Shampoo ("We blend over 45% sea salt with fresh banana and sugar cane molasses to make a smoothie for your locks and add softening oils to support tensile strength and shine"; 2 sizes $13.50 - $27; smells fantastic in the tub but I was not as impressed with the smell of the matching conditioner so passed on that) and Chocolate Orange Shower Gel ("This smashing citrus blend of zesty orange, rich vanilla and scrumptious cocoa absolute might just be too good to share … but that’s alright, we won’t tell if you don’t"; 3 sizes $12.50 - $40; likewise smells great in the bottle but maybe heavier on the orange than the chocolate, I will see if I have to mix with Posh Chocolate to get the right proportions).

From The Body Shop, limited edition Ajwa Date & Honey Shower Gel: "Lather up with our Ajwa Date & Honey Shower Gel. Warm, indulgent, and softly sophisticated", $15 for 250 ml at The Body Shop USA. (In some markets you might also find shower gel in Velvet Fig & Pistachio, but it does not appear to be the US at the moment; both fragrances are also sold in Whipped Body Butter and Hand Balm.)

If it’s Saturday when you read this, rabbit rabbit rabbit! Welcome to August, aka Peach Month. That means we are late for our annual shower census….do tell us about the scented products in your bath or shower! How many scented shower gels and/or bar soaps are in your shower right now? And do tell us the names / products. If you have any great scented products in other categories (hair care?) tell us about those too.

Or, as always, just talk about something else…
