What We Love: Vegan And Travel Friendly
This dermatologically tested body wash ensures that your skin is plump, exuding an unmatched radiance as you hop out of the shower.

The suspension of panthenol and fatty acids in this offering binds adequate moisture into the skin for a soft and glowy appearance.
POD: The arrival of monsoon can wreak havoc on the skin, leading to the unwarranted build-up of dead cells on its outermost layer- the dermis. To cast away this problem, weaving the AHA-enriched shower gel is advised!
