Want To Stop And Smell The Roses? Try REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash And Body Lotion

14 Comments

REN Moroccan Rose Duo Gift Set
I’m saddened that my dalliance with REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash is shorter than I’d expected. How I wish we can have a longer term relationship but alas….she’s just too high maintenance.

I suppose I could always extend another few weeks with her. But that’ll mean $48 lesser in my wallet. Should I indulge myself? Splurging on a body wash that gets flushed down the plug?

So where exactly lies her appeal? For me, it’s definitely in how she smells. Moroccan Rose Otto Oil is one of the worlds most expensive and revered essential oils and that’s why REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash doesn’t come cheap.

I like how the exquisite delicate scent of rose refreshes and uplifts my mood. It’s intoxicating but not too overpowering. It’s sweet but not suffocating. Once you start on it, you’d wish your bath time never have to end. No wonder it’s been a multi-award winning product for so many years!

As a body wash, I’ll say this one performs above average. It’s not a foamy body wash but the clear gel does lather up quite a fair bit. Because of that, the body wash cleanses my skin quite well but doesn’t strip it dry.

Here’s the full ingredient list:
Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Glycerin, Decyl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 20, Panthenol, Parfum* (Fragrance), Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Cymbopogon Martini Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Linalool, Geraniol, Citronellol, Sodium Lauroyl Oat Aminoacids, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Lactic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin. *100% Natural Fragrance Parfum 100% Naturel

How long does this body wash last? Hmm…if you used it twice a day like me, you’ll be out of it in about a month and probably stuck wondering if you should replenish. You can stretch it for longer if you just use it once a day but trust me, if you love rose scent, you’ll not be able to keep your hands off this body wash.

I got this from LoveLula as part of the REN Moroccan Rose Duo Gift Set Kit as it was going at a special price. The other product in the kit was the REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Lotion.

This is a creamy looking but pretty lightweight body lotion that applies well after each body wash. The rose otto scent is not so strong like the body wash…I get more of the rosehip seed oil scent instead. but I like that it gets absorbed quickly while moisturizing my skin well enough to leave it feeling supple and smooth.

I don’t like this as much as I like the body wash but it’s great that the two complements each other well. But the price point for REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Lotion is a lot more expensive in Singapore ($74 vs $48 at Sephora). I’m not sure why. But the 200ml bottle is quite long lasting. I only use a squirt each time and I anticipate the bottle to last me at least three or four months.

Here’s the full ingredient list:
Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Oleyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Glucoside, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter , Myristyl Myristate, Triheptanoin, Lauryl Laurate, Glycerin, Oryzanol, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum* Fragrance , Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Cymbopogon Martini Oil, Geraniol, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Eugenol, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Carbomer, Lactic Acid, Tocopherol. *100% Natural Fragrance – Parfum 100% Naturel

Overall summary
Ren Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash is well worth a splurge if you love rose scent and want to pamper yourself. It’s a luxe body wash that performs above average.

The body lotion on the other hand is not worth spending if you’re purchasing it alone. The rose otto scent is not that strong and I think its highly overpriced for the performance it yields. You’re better off trying another product at a lower price. But it’s pretty worthwhile if you’re getting it as part of the REN Moroccan Rose Duo Gift Set Kit at £29.00 .

If Moroccan Rose Otto Oil sounds excessive to you, you can also check out REN Neroli And Grapefruit Body Wash, REN Neroli And Grapefruit Body Cream or Cream or REN Seaweed And Sage Body Wash. Both range are slightly cheaper.

Since its launch in 2000, REN has become a cult favorite amongst beauty editors and consumers and is now available in department stores, pharmacies and spas in over 50 countries around the world.

I’ve used a couple of their products and have to say that I’m quite impressed by their formulations. Their ingredients are pretty clean and I like that they focus on giving customers the latest high-tech actives with clinically proven results.

        Hi Sesame,

        Lovelula has replied to me. Their reply was that they received my order on 11/03 and they have shipped out on 13/03, their warehouse staff has forgotten to notify me. I am sorry again to mention that I am really very disappointed in their service. I have asked them for the tracking details of my order. And their reply was that my order did not have any tracking details because I didn’t pay for the tracked shipping(which I do not know that I have to pay for this service) & my order is not of high value so they didn’t add tracked shipping to my order. Well I really do not know what to say. I have already paid over S$80(to me is high value) for my order and I still have not received my order yet as at today. The worst is I do not know what is the shipping status of my order now…

          Hi Germaine, my apologies for not replying earlier. Have you gotten your order? If you still encounter any problems, can you email me at vivawoman@gmail.com and I’ll check with them? LoveLula’s shipping is pretty reliable even without the tracking. I get it all the time but yes, it sometimes takes up to 3 weeks.

    I’ve gone through a bottle of the body wash and liked it very much. Have not repurchased as it IS pricey, and I have other favorites.

    Hi i like the review and the product but i find it a bit expensive. I choose to opt for Nyassa Divine Lotus Shower gel which was priced at 17 Euros for 500 ml.
