Chillessence is a recently launched website which carries organic-based bodycare products as well as three jewellery collections inspired by sustainable resources. Their bodycare products are paraben-free and are mostly packaged with recycled or recyclable materials.
The Be Great Body Wash (above) has a clear liquidy-gel consistency. It foams pleasantly well, and rinses very efficiently. It cleanses gently and doesn’t leave the skin feeling dry or tight. The skin is left both fresh and fresh-smelling, with no slippery/filmy residue. It should be a good year-round body wash.

The two products have the same scent, which is a cool grassy and light citrusy aroma, with a slight floral twist. (But the scent can be relatively strong if you tend to go for very lightly-scented body moisturizers.)
The orange peel oil used in these two products might be a skin irritant for some, but I have not experienced sensitive reactions. (You can see full ingredient lists of all Chillessence’s bodycare products on their website.)
(Chillessence.com ships internationally. Please refer to their FAQ page for details.)
Updated on June 28, 2008:
Now the Chillessence on-line store offers fragrance-free versions of the Be Great Body Wash, Body Lotion, and Body Creme.

Thanks for letting us know! I recently did an Organic Skin care article and would have loved to learn about this brand. Eager to check it out.
Hi Charu,
You are very welcome. I hope you enjoyed this review. Let me know what you think if you have a chance to try out their products.
Thank you for your comment, and have a good weekend! :)
Hi! I have a sample of this product I got about a year ago and love it… their website is shut down :-( do you know if they went out of business??? Thanks
Hi Adi,
The website does appear to be down and it could be the case that the company went out of business. But I will keep an eye on it and see if the site comes back later on.
Thank you for your question! :)
