Puracy Body Wash

I tried Lume whole body deodorant about 4 years ago. Le’me just say - PEW!! It was a mixture of earthiness (dirt or clay) mixing with my body funk. No deal here. I had been using Native for the past 3, 3.5 years, but noticed it kind of failing me a bit as of late. Bodies do change. So, I decided to give Lume another try. In doing so, I discovered they’d expanded their line to also include acidified body wash. I was not only intrigued because I I’d never heard of acidified washes and the advantages they boast for odor reduction and elimination (what soap never fully does for me), but also because of several reviews claiming reduction or elimination of hyperpigmentation, which I have from scarring from bumps. So I got the starter kit which came with a full stick of deodorant, a travel sized tube of cream deodorant and wipes, and my upgrade of a full sized body wash. Guess what? My body indeed changed and took immediately to the deodorant (it IS possible that my first try followed a switch from standard deodorant and my body had to acclimate to the “more natural’. I’d long given up antiperspirant). It does not quite give me the advertised 72 hrs of protection (lol), but it definitely gives at least 36 and as much as 48+ with out reapplying. Though I have to say, for my body, it’s only pits, under boob and feet approved. It causes irritation in, uhm, more “sensitive areas”, and, in those areas, while the smell is not BO, I find it unpleasant . And the body wash, easily passing the “butt-suds” odor test, completely and effortlessly cleansed all and any scent of odor away. I was hooked. But there were 3 strikes for Lume’s body wash. I find it both drying and mildly irritating to my face (including leaving some red marks and bumps), and mildly irritating to the “sensitive areas” (particularly the bum). Lastly, $20 a tube is expensive. So I began to search for alternatives. That’s when I found Puracy. Not only did I find an acidifying body wash that gave me 50% more product than Lume at half the price, it’s also 98% plant based cleansing. I also read repeated reviews about gentleness on skin, it being non-drying, and good for face and body. So, as my Lume wash was running out, why not give this wash a try? The first test was the nightly cleansing of my face of makeup. Puracy took it right off, leaving minimum residue on my washcloth after having first washed and rinsed with my hands. Can’t say the same for Lume where I always had to wash again with the cloth and then scrub out the makeup residue on the cloth. The results with Puracy were a clean, smooth face with no bumps, tightness, or dry shiny or red spots. Second test was the shower. It does not lather quite like Lume, but you don’t need to use any more than you would Lume either. The scent is not as strong and does not linger like with Lune either. These are neither good or bad but come down to preference (I prefer a bit more lingering scent, but this is not enough an issue to deduct points). Where the true difference comes and pushes this wash to the lead are the following. 1. Completely and effortlessly eliminates odor in all regions (just like Lume), but without irritation or dryness. 2. Related to #1 - it easily passes the butt-suds test! 3. You will likely not need Lume body wash to benefit from Lume deodorant - I showered at night and the next morning I still did not need to “replenish” the Lume deodorant applied the morning before. 4. It rinses so clean it makes toweling off a breeze. Lume leaves a slippery feeling once you rinse off, no matter how much you rinse. It looks like I’ve found a winner. As Lume’s deodorant is in line price wise with the market. And since Puracy does not have deodorant - this pair of competitors combine nicely to pose a winning defense against BO without a lot of chemicals, harsh or not. Now the next thing I will try is both laundry and cleaning from Puracy.

I cannot recommend this body wash highly enough. In the last few years my skin has become increasingly sensitive. One of the myriad less lovable effects of menopause for me has been thinning and highly sensitive skin which has resulted in the sudden and rather mysterious appearance of little scratches and cuts on my body and eczema like patches of skin that appear and disappear randomly and for reasons that I couldn't fathom. The dermatologist confirmed that this was a common symptom post menopause. I was trying various natural sulfate free products which were pleasant enough and it didn't seem to make much difference. I came across this company on Amazon and decided to give it a try based on the reviews. I was skeptical because of how many other products had proven underwhelming. I was amazed and thrilled when I first use this product. It has a very pleasant and light lemony smell, lathers up nicely, but most importantly, leaves my skin soft and supple, with no itchy patches or irritation. Months later I am still using this product with the same happy effect. I went to see my esthetician last week and she commented on how soft my skin was. I also use the body lotion which I love. It goes on easily, sinks in really fast and doesn't leave any greasy residue at all. I feel as though my skin can breathe. Thank you puracy for creating these wonderful products. I am now going to buy the household products and I am very excited to see how they work. Who knew that I would ever be excited about using a household product?!!

The best natural ingredient body wash! Have tried so many. Most ive tried have irritated my skin, had no lather, or smelled terrible. This body wash is the best in every way. Great for my sensitive and dry skin. The citrus scent is light and refreshing. It lathers so well and a little does go a long way. The price is not bad when compared to other natural body washes on the market. For me, one bottle with daily use lasted about 2 months. This will be my go to body wash from now on.

Smells lovely! Although, must say it’s a bit thin. Need to use more product to get it to foam up. Skin feels smooth and nice after :)

I want to start off this review by mentioning that I work in a garage setting. This means I'm constantly in contact with grease, road grime, and so many petroleum based lubricants and jellies; so the last thing I want touching my skin at the end of the day is another chemical ridden soap. Because that's the time of day I really get to relax and feel genuinely clean for the first time that day, I've become a little bit of a soap snob. Usually I prefer solid soaps for the scent and skin feel, but this is the first liquid soap I've really, really liked. I've now had this soap for about 5 months now, and this is why I love it... Despite being natural, it has no problem cutting through grease and grime I've accumulated throughout the day. The scent is also perfect for my taste; it's subtle, but definitely still has presence. I mostly notice the grapefruit and pink Himalayan salt, with something else I can't put my finger on. Anyway, its great Also worth mentioning, I have sensitive skin. Especially on my face I have some almost eczema like patches that can flare up if I don't take care of it. Having used this soap through a cold and dry Wisconsin winter, into a hot and muggy summer, I can tell you this has performed very well. I haven't needed to add anything else to my skin care routine and the spots on my face have not been inflamed at all since using this soap. Its very gentle, and moisturizes well. Of course, my skin chemistry and work environment isn't going to be the same for everyone, but in my experience, this soap has more than earned 5 stars in my book. It's my new go to, and I'll be restocking once I get through the bulk sized bag I ordered months ago. (I highly recommend the big bags worth of soap; best price per volume, and less plastic waste - just squirt some into an existing soap bottle for convenience). My only qualm: the bag of soap I ordered had some damage from shipping, but odds are this was the mailman's doing, and not the packaging itself. A small corner that was melted into place for the bags regitity had pulled apart at the seam. NOTE: This did not hurt the bags function or cause any leaking whatsoever. Just something to check for when you order yours so you can prolong the bags life.

Fav body wash. Smells great and clean ingredients.

Great scent- very light and citrusy. Leaves skin feeling clean and soft. Great option for sensitive skin.

I have bought this stuff for years and generally like it, but really pretty irritated that they dropped their refills from 64 oz down to 48 oz, changed the packaging, and then kept the price the same as the bigger size. We know everything has gotten more expensive, but the marketing is also intentionally deceptive. For example, the picture they have where they show the 48 oz "new and improved" version physically larger than the 64 oz version? Come on, that's just obnoxious. If you're going to provide less and charge more just own it instead of trying to dupe people with dumb graphics and then hope the rest don't notice. The larger size was nice simply to not have to order refills as often and likely saved even more packaging waste. This whole move seems pretty counterproductive, which is disappointing considering they were my favorite for many years. The annoying tactics have led to me look at some other brands just to see what else is out there. Might be back, might not be. The product itself is pretty good for sensitive skin and doesn't leave a residue. It doesn't foam up as much as other products so you end up using probably 3x more than more typical body washes just as a heads up. I guess that's the added tax for "clean/natural" body washes not having certain agents in them to foam up, maybe?
