Not a lot of people know this about me but I am a bit of an obsessive hand washer type person, I hate shaking peoples hands for the fact of I don't know where they've been or getting on a bus/tube/train is like my worst nightmare because I have to hold on to the bars and the amount of germs they must have freak me out... This is why I always keep a bottle of this by my bed, in my front room and in my bag.
Satsuma Hand Cleanse Gel - £2.50
Since I discovered this I have been through around 20 bottles of the stuff, they are normally on some sort of offer at The Body Shop and I am always stocking up.
The smell of this one is absolutely divine, I have a massive thing for The Body Shops Satsuma range anyway and this just takes that obsession up to another notch... Its not overpowering or artificial its just fresh and zingy! It also doesn't have that stagnant alcohol smell most hand gels do although it does have a tiny antiseptic smell at first but that is never noticeable once it has been rubbed in.
A little squirt goes a long way and doesn't leave your hands feeling dry either, plus it also gets rid of sticky fingers which for me is a plus especially when I am out and about with the messiest 7 year old in the world!
I think in total there are 5 different scents of these hand gels... Satsuma, Strawberry, Lemon, Mango and Coconut. I haven't tried any of the others though as I am too obsessed with this one!
Have you tried these?

I've not tried their hand gels, I am now intrigued.x
ReplyDeleteThe only time I tried this is when I was with you at the second TOWIB! I keep meaning to get one though because I loved the smell xx

I was thinking of buying a hand sanitizer for my bag (the free one I got a while back is just running out and it's been super handy to have in there!) and this one smells lovely! I'm popping into the Body Shop tomorrow so I'm glad I saw this! Thanks for the fab review :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have a Wilkinsons nearby they do their own version of this, an orange one and a berry one. I have the Body Shop one too and Wilkinson's is just as nice...but only 65p!
ReplyDeleteI too am a hand sanitizer addict ;) I love Soap and Glory's Hand maid, smells lovely. This sounds awesome though xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the satsuma range at body shop, will definitely pick this one up next time I am in their, I didn't even know it existed! :) Thanks for posting!! xx
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the coconut one being delicious! I haven't seen them in there bofore!

I have five of these: Strawberry, Mango, Coconut, Sweet Lemon and Grapefruit. I love them! and I love that The Body Shop always has a great offer on :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these! I have a friend in the States who sends me the Pocket Bacs from Bath & Body works every so often so I tend to use those but I'm down to my last two bottles so I'll have to see if I can track these down - I love the Satsuma scent! I've not seen them in my local Body Shop though :( xx
ReplyDeleteI have the mango one.. they are so nice for having them in your handbag. I brought my mum the coconut one too!!

I haven't tried this yet, but I love the baylis and harding ones. Always grab them in newlook.
