Heart heart ❤️ 💙 I love this. I use it as a pre treatment and leave on conditioner. Don't use a lot as it can get quite heavy, but the right amount leaves hair feeling amazing. Honestly, it smells so good, too, but if you're not keen on banana, I k...

A very nice and gentle cleanse. I use it on my body and scalp when having a flare-up. It's too gentle for me to use all the time in terms of cleansing, but it's a great option for when skin is just feeling extra sensitive.

The only product I've consistently used since childhood and one of the only cleansers I can use on my body. Leaves skin clean, fresh, and soft. An OG for eczema and sensitive skin folk.

Nice all rounder. I actually use this as a bubble bath because I can't use anything else, and this is gentle enough not to irritate. Plain and simple but effective and well priced.
