My typical white box arrives beautifully packaged.

Included were helpful cards and a booklet with loads of details about this Bathing Culture box. It looks like we received body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and body oil.
The Products
Meadow Vision Mind and Body Wash, 8 fl oz - Retail Value $18
1 of 3
Over the last few months, I may have become a bit of a body wash snob. Previously, I never would have shelled out $25+ for suds that just go straight down the drain, but I was gifted one from Kopari and quickly enjoyed how much more special it made shower time feel and how soft and fragrant my skin felt after using something a little more luxe. I have always appreciated Bathing Culture's brand values, namely good for you and good for the earth too formulas, and thoughtful packaging choices. And who doesn't love the colorful bottles cheering up their bath and shower spaces? My one gripe with this brand is some of the scents. They can feel a little too earthy-crunchy, even for me, a lover of such scents. This wash has a scent called Meadow Vision which is brand new and has notes of sage, ylang-ylang, lavender, and geranium. It smells much more hippie than fancy floral, which suits me just fine! The formula is boosted with aloe, coconut oil,and shea, leaving skin soft and moisturized after rinsing.
Kelp Forest Shampoo, 8 fl oz - Retail Value $28
1 of 3
I always feel super lucky when shampoo arrives in a box, just before I run out and have to make a trip to buy more myself! I have never tried any Bathing Culture hair products and though my feelings are mixed (more on that in a sec) I did really enjoy this shampoo. It had a great lather and left my hair feeling clean but not stripped. The scent here was another winner, with notes of evergreen needles, orange peel, vetiver, and cool water.
Good Seed Conditioner, 8 fl oz - Retail Value $30
1 of 3
I really, really wanted to love this conditioner, but it fell flat for me for two main reasons. First, I didn't feel like it gave my thicker, coarser hair the shine and smoothness I expect from a conditioner. I would normally dilute a formula like this with water and put it in a spray bottle to use as a leave-in conditioner instead, but the Nude Beach smell just isn't for me. The brand describes this scent as:
Smells like sunbathing with your best friends; wrinkled magazines, hot chaparral, blooming magnolia and drip-dried sundrenched skin.
A blend of 11 plant-based essential oils, extracts and absolutes, including Rock Rose, Magnolia, Coconut and Petitgrain.
My issue here is that it does indeed smell like skin. Butt nothing like my skin. I smell like a different person when I use this, and I can't think of a better way of describing it. It is like when you wear someone else's clothing. And not in a good way, at least to my nose. And I have to say I am surprised by this. In reading the description, it sounded exactly like a smell I would be obsessed with.
Heat Wave Body Oil, 4 fl oz - Retail Value $35
1 of 6
My last item is a body oil with the same Nude Beach scent. Basically, if you liked this fragrance, you will be thrilled with this body oil. It is packed full of goodies like rice bran oil, coconut oil, jojoba, and muscle-soothing arnica. It has a lighter weight and makes a great post-shower treat to seal in hydration without feeling heavy.
Verdict
This month, my Beauty Heroes had a value of $111 which is a little lower than I am used to but I feel like 4 quality products more than justify the subscription cost. And, sure, some of the scents in this delivery weren't for me. But I feel appreciative that BH sent us different scents to try from this brand, including a brand new one. Generally, this box is known for skincare, but I have grown to really adore the body care curations and think this one was delightful.
