What the gurus are saying

This body wash earns consistent praise for its gentle, non-stripping formula and balanced pH of 5.5, making it a standout choice for sensitive skin. Most gurus highlight how it cleanses without drying while still providing enough lather to feel effective, and several note the bonus of exfoliating acids working together to treat skin as you wash. The one split: some find the light eucalyptus scent refreshing and spa-like, while others feel the minimal fragrance makes the washing experience feel too plain, almost joyless; if you love a sensory experience in the shower, this one may not deliver that for you.

"This is one of the body products I absolutely love, the Necessaire body wash. This one is in the eucalyptus scent, I prefer the bergamot [...] scent, but this is a beautiful body wash."

"Necessaire has their eucalyptus in a duo set, a great body wash that I also love. I kind of prefer the Necessaire Hinoki scent over the eucalyptus, but if you're a eucalyptus fan and love that kind of minty fresh scent in your body wash, this is a great one."

"Necessaire Eucalyptus. I love it. I love something that smells of eucalyptus. It also does the job. It cleans. It's multi oil nourishing cleanse. I've never felt this was an oil. I always feel like this is a proper shower gel. And it just smells like that fresh spa-zingy eucalyptus. I love."

"This one I've repurchased, I think, since the first came out, the Necessaire Body Wash. It's really non-drying and a little bit of sudsy, which is nice, to the point where I repurchased it. I will say this is unscented but it does have lemon extract in it, which is kind of a fragrance ingredient, but it's not like lemon oil and this has no scent. There's a difference between unscented and fragrance free. This would be unscented but not fragrance free because of that lemon extract."
✓Nay
"There is no scent. There's a little bit of foaming, but I feel like I've used water to wash. I feel like I've had no help. When I shower, I like to feel invigorated and cleansed. I like some scent to make me feel like I'm doing some good for my body. I like to feel like I've had a whole cleansing experience, and this product lacks anything, any experience whatsoever. It's completely joyless, almost disappointing. After you use it, your skin feels nice, but I'm like, was that it?"
✓Yay
"I have been really liking the Necessaire body wash, the internet has been going crazy about it and it's probably for a good reason. It actually has a trifecta or quadrifecta of AHAs in there, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and it also has pyruvic and tartaric acids. Even though those aren't as functional as glycolic and lactic, they still [...] help work together to make the product better."
✓Mixed
"I did use this one, the Necessaire Body Wash, because it's what's in my shower and I know my skin likes this. Now, this does have a little bit of lemon, a little bit of apple. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that. I would recommend the most basic cleanser and again, antibacterial. But this is what I had on hand."
✓Yay
"My favorite is the body wash from Necessary because it's a pH of 5.5, super gentle pH balance for everywhere on your body, and it's also satisfying as well. It gives you [...] just enough of a lather that you feel like you're getting yourself clean. This is full of all the non-stripping barrier strengthening and calming soothing ingredients so that as you cleanse you're also treating your skin and you're not taking anything away."
✓Yay
"Necessaire is the body care brand whose whole focus is on body care, they do it exceptionally well, but they are fragrance free. The body wash, eucalyptus, 17 ounce, is 42 dollars."

"Necessaire Eucalyptus Body Wash is one of my favorite cleansers of all time. I think the most important thing honestly is like the Necessaire body wash, because for the sensitive skin person it's great, that's the thing they're looking for, because body soaps can really mess up the skin otherwise."

"My guilty pleasure from Necessary that I just can't get enough of is their body wash, specifically the eucalyptus one. I think it's incredibly sensorially great, [...] it's one of my most frequently repurchased products, and yes, it's better than Bath and Body Works. It has a subtle, mature scent."

"I've been through probably like four bottles of this over the last two years or so, and I actually like the eucalyptus one. [...] This is actually super nice and doesn't dry out my skin at all. It has very, very effective ingredients. It has all the necessary ingredients to actually work as surfactants and remove debris from your skin and cleanse your skin, but then it also has nice ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, and marula oil. It's just like a very balanced product."

"I will get one of my favorite aromatherapy body washes, so either one from Salt and Stone or I love my one from Necessaire that has that beautiful eucalyptus spa-like scent, and I will just wash my whole body."

"I think this is just such a nice super gentle body wash, it's non-stripping for the skin so I really like it. If I'm going to be showering later today too, for example if I work out after work, I don't want to go in with like a really intense body wash, but I still feel like now that I'm pregnant especially I get a little sweaty at night, so I just use this to wash pits and bits and it's perfect for that."
✓Yay
"It has the utility packaging which is great, it has a screw top so the top doesn't come off and you don't drop it, making it very easy to use [...] in the shower. This twisty top should be included in all products, I love this. It has a pretty nice unisex scent that is light, and it leaves your skin pretty moisturized, unlike bar soap. It [...] has surfactants that are commonly found in face products [...] and gentle ones at that, so it's actually fine to use on your face."

"This is the Necessaire Eucalyptus Body Wash, a brand new bottle. [...] I think this is a fine body wash, it's like a very nice body wash, but I just happen to be using the eucalyptus scented exfoliator so it just makes sense to me to then get the matching set. [...] It's not that I love this body wash."
