And the masculine counterpart to yesterday: Method Men's Body Wash, shown in Juniper + Sage and Cedar + Cypress, and also available in Sea + Surf. "Our men's body wash can handle your dirty sides. Each naturally derived formula lathers quickly, rinses clean and leaves you smelling fresh. because life is complicated enough, showering doesn't have to be." A dollar less than the women's — what's with that? — at about $6 for 532 ml, at Target.
Method Body Wash in Deep Detox (cucumber, seaweed and green tea) or Energy Boost (citrus, ginger and sea buckthorn). "Turn your shower into the kind of escape you need right now. Whether you want pure peace, an energy boost, a deep detox or some simple nourishment, each naturally derived formula features a trio of nutrient-rich ingredients and a scent that's sure to set the mood. No parabens. No phthalates. No bad vibes." About $7 each for 532 ml, at Target. Also available in Pure Peace (peony, rosewater and pink sea salt) and Simply Nourish (coconut, rice milk and shea butter), or in matching 370g bar soaps for about $4 each.
Well sure, I'll take two: "The unique, elegant fragrance of ALLURE HOMME ÉDITION BLANCHE in a gently cleansing shower gel." $40 for 200 ml at Chanel.

In addition to the shower gel, there are hair products (including a dry shampoo), scrubs and a "Showerless Cleansing Mist". The brand should be at mass market stores by January.
