Origins Ginger Exfoliating Body Wash
by Origins · body_care
Editor's Take
A sharper-than-usual scrubby body wash, with salicylic acid doing real work, but the fragrance-allergen cloud keeps it from feeling as clean as it cleans.

The Verdict
For a body wash, this has more going on than the usual scented foam: salicylic acid, walnut shell, and bamboo give it both chemical and physical exfoliation. The cleansing base is gentler than old sulfated scrub washes, with amino-acid surfactants helping the lather stay creamy instead of stripping. The rub is the perfume-heavy experience, plus Polysorbate 20 and acrylates, which knock back the clean-ingredient story without making the wash a problem product. Worth it for a scrubby, aromatic shower polish that treats texture while you rinse.
