The body wash itself is a gentle, castile-based soap made with organic coconut, olive, and jojoba oils. It lathers well - even more so on a loofah or konjac sponge - and rinses clean. It never leaves my skin feeling dry, tight, or irritated.
Why is it a summer only product for me? Three words: the peppermint tingle. I first tried this baby in the dead of winter, and boy did I freeze! The body wash leaves your skin feeling slightly cool when you first rinse it off, but it's when I'm toweling off that I really feel it. In the winter - even in my reasonably warm house - it felt like torture by peppermint oil, but since the weather's warmed up, it's actually pretty refreshing. It's also perfect for cooling off after a hot, sweaty workout.
The Bottom Line
A great body wash for summer or post-workout, but I'll be opting for another scent come fall/winter. Not for the peppermint faint of heart!

Ooh the peppermint sounds really nice for the summer! I've been using Nubian Heritage Green Tea and Aloe body wash and I really like it. I like to switch around body washes though, so maybe I'll try this one out before the summer is up.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way...body wash is probably the product I switch around the most! If you like peppermint, it's definitely worth a go :)
DeleteThat's so interesting! I've seen this in nature stores dozens of times, but the "anise" description has always put me off. I love peppermint though. thanks for the review!

It's definitely pepperminty! I don't actually smell the anise at all, but maybe give it a sniff first, in case it's just my bottle :)
DeleteLove the sound of this, the fragrance is right up my street and that cool label is calling to me! x
ReplyDeleteI love the label too!
DeleteSounds lovely, I really like the labelling too :)
ReplyDeleteIt is...I think you'd enjoy it :)
DeleteYou said the magic word: peppermint! Thank you for introducting this brand, I had never heard of it. I also like the labelling with the octopus ;) x
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! All of Leap's stuff has these great labels. I kind of want the hand soap next, just so I can put it on my counter. Haha :)
DeleteThis sounds so good! I love peppermint scented stuff. Lovely review xo
ReplyDeleteThanks! If you like peppermint, it'd be right up your alley :)
DeleteLooks like a mouth wash to me :)) But it would really come in handy right now, it's so hot were I live! :) xx
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Now that you mention it though, I can see where you're coming from :)
DeleteI love the mint body wash from Bodhi & peppermint from Dr Bronner's so I'm attracted to this one plus how awesome is the labelling :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you like those two, I'm sure you'd get on really well with the Leap. The artwork on the label is pretty fab, isn't it? I love when brands go above and beyond that way :)
