Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger body bar review
Posted 07-01-2009 at 12:07 AM by 2coastcamper
Whether you're camping or using it at home, the Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger Root body bar is an interesting way to start your day.
While it's not my favorite bar of soap out there, the natural smell of the ginger mixed with citrus fills my nose with an invigorating aroma. It's also great to know you're bathing with a bar of soap that's almost completely all natural (99.72%).
The smell doesn't last on your skin after the shower, but that's a good thing. It's such a strong aroma, that I don't think you'd want to smell like it all day long. The experience of the smell seems like it's just for you while you're in the shower. Afterwards, you just smell clean.
It's a little pricey at some places. At REI, for instance, it's $4.50 a bar for 4 ounces. At Safeway (and this is in pricey California), it's actually $7.99. There are bars that are equally as natural and as aromatic sold by a brand called Kiss My Face, for example, that are sold in 8-ounce bars for about $4.
For the Burt's Bees bar, I'd say pick one up if you see it and try it out for the unique experience. Perhaps just pick one up for an occasional camping trip to use in an outdoor shower, but I wouldn't make it my go-to bar for showers. Keep looking, there are all-natural bars out there that are a better deal.
