RITUALS Fortune Oil Sweet Orange & Cedar Wood | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

RITUALS Fortune Oil Sweet Orange & Cedar Wood from the Laughing Buddha Collection is a wonderfully moisturizing shower oil for the body that functions in precisely the same way as the many facial cleansing oils that have recently flooded the market.

You simply apply a small amount of Fortune Oil Sweet Orange & Cedar Wood to your skin and as soon as it has contact with water it emulsifies and turns from an oil consistency to a thin milky emulsion that effectively cleans the skin, and leaves it delectably soft smooth and moisturized. The scent is a warm amalgam of Sweet Orange & Cedar Wood, and it is neither too sweet, nor too woodsy. While the scent is lovely it does not linger since it is, for the most part, washed away. However, RITUALS does have a full range of products from the Laughing Buddha Collection that will allow you to luxuriate in the beautiful scent.

According to RITUALS,

In ancient China, 1100 years ago, the Laughing Buddha was a famous monk who, with his legendary smile, brought happiness wherever he went. For centuries, rubbing his belly has symbolised good luck and prosperity. Inspired by this tradition, our Laughing Buddha collection brings a touch of happiness to your everyday life.

The shower oil becomes a silky soft foam, leaving your skin beautifully soft. The natural ingredients Sweet Orange & Cedar produce a wonderfully warm fragrance. The shower oil helps you stay brown for longer. The oil hydrates your skin in the shower, so that you lose less pigment. You can thus enjoy your holiday tan for even longer.

How to use: Use Rinse the bath or shower well after use to avoid slipping. Rinse thoroughly if it comes into contact with the eyes.

It is really important to pay attention to their warning that one needs to rinse the shower or bathtub after use because the oil does leave an oily residue that could cause one to slip and fall.

Ingredients: Glycine Soja (Soy) Oil, Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride, Laureth-4, Cocamide Dea, Mipa-Laureth Sulfate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil, Parfum/ Fragrance, Juniperus Virginiana (Cedarwood) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Aqua, Bht, Linalool, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Citric Acid, Ci 16035 (Red 40), Ci 42090 (Blue 1).

Overall Assessment: Such a wonderful cleansing oil that is such a special treat in the shower!
