MILK BAOBAB WHITE MUSK BODY WASH + BODY LOTION [REVIEW]
MILK BAOBAB WHITE MUSK BODY WASH + BODY LOTION [REVIEW]
November 6, 2023 by David Lee
Fans of the second season of BTS IN THE SOOP ("ITS") quickly identified the shower gel Jungkook brought with him—a testament to Milk Baobab's popularity. The familiar baobab tree image gracing the milk carton-style package matched the blue hue seen in ITS. As winter approaches, I was drawn to their newer 'Cera' variant, boasting an added '1000ppm of ceramide' to the original milk protein and baobab seed extract blend. Despite a high moisturizing promise from the High Cera collection, my preference for the White Musk scent led me to choose the standard Cera line.
Cera Body Wash
Contrary to expectations set by its milky packaging, the body wash surprised me with its clear gel consistency. It’s not too thick but lathers effortlessly into a gentle foam that also doubles as a light bubble bath. While the hydration effect is subtle, it's gentle on the skin and doesn't strip away moisture. Interestingly, a demo revealed a temporary brightening effect, perhaps due to its soothing nature on redness.
Cera Body Lotion
The lotion's lightweight, gel-cream texture is perfect for quick absorption and extensive coverage without leaving a sticky residue. Despite its smaller size compared to the body wash, a little goes a long way. For best results, apply it on damp skin as you would a mask. It's particularly refreshing in summer, providing hydration without excess. Though it's fragranced, the lotion could be an ideal after-shave option for those not sensitive to scents. While it's marked safe for facial use, I'd steer towards their Baby Lotion line for delicate areas, as suggested by the brand's own narratives.
Fragrance: White Musk
The White Musk fragrance is a clean, instantly recognizable scent akin to 'baby lotion.' It's a fresh, mildly powdery aroma that's pleasantly neutral. Despite what the name might suggest, neither the lactonic nor baobab notes overpower; instead, it leans towards a subtle floral touch. Once applied, the fragrance unfolds gently, catering to those who prefer understated yet distinct scents.
Conclusion
