In the UK, the Guardian of the Forest Shower Gel first came out, back in the Summer of 2019 as a part of a community release with six other never-before-been-released shower gels and the Cookie Dough body scrub.
I felt Guardian of the Forest was one of the most popular out of the six exclusive shower gels released back then so I am not surprised to see that it will be returning in the latest Lush Community shower gel drop, later this month (June 2024).
The Guardian of the Forest shower gel obviously has the same scent as the long discontinued, but very much loved, Guardian of the Forest bath bomb. The shower gel is bright green and slightly opaque and its consistency is thick but easy to get out of the bottle.
The Guardian of the Forest shower gel contains a long list of ingredients, it has oakmoss infusion, cypress leaf infusion, fresh lime juice, cypress oil, lime oil, rosewood oil, oakmoss absolute and moringa oil.
The scent is best described as a woody and fresh-forest-scent. Compared to its bath bomb equivalent, I feel that the lime oil and fresh lime juice is more noticeable in the shower gel format.
If you’re not familiar with the, The Legend of Zelda games, this won’t mean anything to you, but I have always imagined that the Guardian of the Forest scent is what the Korok Forest smells like. For anyone who hasn’t played the game, just imagine a magical forest full of strange yet wonderful creatures.
The Guardian of the Forest shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a long way. Mixed in with the steam and hot water of your shower, the scent really takes over your bathroom. Just shut your eyes, take a deep breath and you’re transported into an earthy, green forest.
Once out of the shower, the Guardian of the Forest scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day. Although, it is not as strong on your skin it is still very noticeable. I love how its scent remains, it’s like the magical forest comes with you as you go about your day. It also does a really good job of cleansing your skin leaving it looking and feeling brighter.
Overall, I love the Guardian of the Forest shower gel and am looking forward to maybe picking up a fresh bottle when it comes out again in fancy new packaging later this month.
