Cowshed Grubby Cow Hand Wash.

Luxurious hand washes are something of a special treat for me, most of the time I'm happy to use whatever I pick up at the drugstore - usually SoftSoap or Mrs Myers. Don't get me wrong I would love to have something fancy by my sink all the time but it's not often that there is. However, after having tried some face products by Cowshed I indulged myself and picked up a bottle of their Grubby Cow Hand Wash. 

The formula of this is very nice indeed, it is sulphate free so although it doesn't produce a ton of frothy bubbles it is gentle and non drying. My hands actually feel somewhat softened when I use this and they don't get as dry or itchy as they usually do which is a real bonus now that the cold weather is finally here.

The packaging is also very stylish. I love the black and white floral print, the simple graphics and the pump that works well dispensing just the right amount of product.

But the best thing about this is the scent! Cowshed describe it as 'zesty' - which it certainly is. Containing sweet orange oil and peppermint oil (which on paper doesn't sound like a match made in heaven) it smells divine! Vibrantly uplifting and refreshing, it smells fresh and clean but not in that rather generic soapy/ fabric softener way. The peppermint tempers the orange and stops it from being yet another citrus product and turns it into something special.

Great for the kitchen or bathroom, along with hand lotion this would make a lovely gift.
