Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner Reinvigorates Hair!

The Good: Amazing aroma, Decent conditioning properties, Feels wonderful on the scalp!
The Bad: A bit expensive
The Basics: Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner smells as good as the shampoo it is paired with and helps to fix dry or brittle hair.


When I use new shampoos, I have a tendency to try to pair them up with the appropriate conditioner. Having recently had to utilize a shampoo that would cut through grease and sweat, I discovered that getting through that sort of build-up often left my hair overly dry. When that happened, I turned to Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner. The Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner pairs with the Bath & Body Works Energy Orange Ginger shampoo (reviewed here!) and they work together exceptionally well. This conditioner solves all the problems that the shampoo might cause by drying out hair when one uses it constantly.

The Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine conditioner is usually $10.00 a bottle. My wife and I managed to get the bottles three for the price of two and that helped to make the conditioner a bit more reasonably priced. The expense is a bit of a detraction for this product. The other general problem is that Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine-Infused Invigorating Conditioner is not cone free. Cones (ingredients which end in “-cone” or “-one,” like methylisothiazolinone in this conditioner) are rumored to be terrible for hair and avoiding them is part of a current trend in health and beauty products. I tend not to care about the current diet fad or current alleged threat to the health of anything and I suspect because this product has been made for many years in a way that reinvigorates hair.

The Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine conditioner comes in a translucent orange bottle with the 16 fl. oz. usually costing consumers $10.00, though they are frequently on sale. The orange bottle is boxy, reminds one of a flask with smooth sides and has a black flip-top lid.

I am a huge fan of all things Bath & Body Works, something my wife has gotten me into. So the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine became a treat conditioner for both of us. Application of the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine conditioner is fairly easy. After rinsing all of the shampoo from one's hair, simply open the bottle, deposit a dollop of the Orange Ginger Body & Shine conditioner on your hand - I have long hair and a droplet a little over the size of a quarter stretches to condition all my hair - then work into the hair. Experience has proven to me that the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine conditioner, being as thick as it is, works through the hair far better if one rubs it onto both hands before trying to squeeze it through the hair. The Energy Orange Ginger conditioner comes out of the bottle as a very thick, white cream. After setting in the hair for about two minutes, the conditioner washes out easily and leaves hair looking glossy, shiny and clean!

The Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner smells divinely of both orange and ginger. The citrus scent blends with the ginger to make hair smell like a fancy Chinese dish! This is not a subtle scent, it is a forceful aroma that opens the nostrils, especially when the water one is showering in is very hot. Paired with the same shampoo, the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine has as strong an aroma and the conditioner locks in the scent from the shampoo exceptionally well.

As for the practical functionality of this conditioner, the Energy Orange Ginger has kept my hair manageable and soft through the late summer and autumn, when I frequently ended up stripping it. I have not found any split ends and this conditioner does all that it promises!

The Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine conditioner contains actual orange peel oil and ginger root oil, so the scent comes from a very pure place. The primary ingredients in the conditioner, though, are water, cetearyl alcohol and cetyl esters. All I know is that the ingredients work and this conditioner locks in the scent into the hair for more than twenty hours!

While this is an absolutely amazing conditioner, I could not justify giving it a perfect score because of the price. There are many other conditioners that do as good of a job of conditioning, without the hefty price tag that the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner has. There are several other conditioners that are less expensive that lock in the scent of whatever shampoo they are paired with. This conditioner might work very well, but the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Orange Ginger Body & Shine Conditioner is overpriced despite its quality.
