"This shower gel leaves your skin feeling amazing. I love it except I was at a loss as to why they called it "Sparkling Mint" as there is very little mint scent to it. A little goes a long way as it is super concentrated."

"It's my first natural soap to try and I love the way it smells in the shower! My husband prefers a manly (commercial) soap bar, but he was willing to try a natural soap and he like the Alba shower gel! It doesnt leave scum on my bathtub like a regular soap would. You should try it!"

"The body gel is nice and covers well, but the smell is somewhat of a distraction - spearmint w/ a twinge. I love the smell of Method Body Refresh Mint much better. Overall, it's an okay product."

"My husband rarely becomes attached to bath products, but when this large bottle gets to the end he goes out of his way to remind me to order more. He really loves the tingly mint fresh feeling after showering and the cooling sensation. He tends to feel really hot after showers, and this helps him stay cool."

"Husband and I love this! It smells so fresh and clean! It lasts a long time. Its very concentrated so there is no need to use alot. I would not recommend this for a bath. I love alot of bubbles but I don't want to use up my whole bottle, if you know what I mean. Will always have this!"
