Here's a fatty that won't get you in any trouble. I'm talking essential fatty acids, which are nourishing for the skin, and incidentally, found in hemp seed oil, a main ingredient of Nature's Gate Hemp Velvet Moisture Body Wash ($6). Reader Hottpink sung the praises of this moisturizing cleanser, and here's what she had to say:
I was on the hunt for a body wash that was eco- and animal-friendly, and thought I would give this a try after spying it at a Whole Foods Body.

My skin has been going through an oddball itchy phase. Ever the hypochondriac, I became convinced that the cats had fleas. They didn't, so I thought, "Oh no, I've somehow picked up bedbugs!"

Olay Body Wash ($5.29) was a staple of my college dorm bathroom in the Winter, when no amount of lotion could keep the indoor heat from drying my skin out. I haven't used it in a couple years now that I live in more temperate climes, but the most recent version incorporates body butter, and it sounds just as good as the original. Reader hippiecowgirl wrote a nice review of it, so I'll let her take it from here:

A few weeks ago, I picked up some Nivea cellulite-reduction pads on mega-clearance. (I know they won't work, but I'm testing them to prove that point.)

My mum raised me on the plain white, unscented kind of Dove Cream Bar Soap, so even with all the access that I have to luxe gels and creamy body washes, I tend to keep some Dove handy in my bath and shower at all times.
In fact, I'm so accustomed to the gentle fragrance and fresh feeling from Dove, that even after I use other body washes I feel like they either leave behind a filmy residue, or conversely, they make my skin feel dry and tight. Vote below and tell me if you prefer using bar soap or body wash.

For my mom's birthday earlier this week, I Pricelined the Hyatt Regency in Chicago for the delightfully reasonable price of $65. Sure, the hotel decor was on the bland side, and we had to dodge tipsy conventioneers on the way to the elevators, but when you're paying so little, who can complain, really?
Of note: The bathroom shampoo, body wash, and soap.

Since I always apply a moisturizer after the shower, I'm usually not too excited about moisturizing body washes. But if there's one that smells good and leaves me clean without irritating my skin, I'm game. Luckily, the new Dial body washes fit neatly into that category.
