Aveda Cherry Almond Hand & Body Wash is a gentle, 97% naturally derived liquid soap that cleanses and conditions skin while delivering Aveda’s signature sweet floral Cherry Almond scent.

This lightweight hand and body wash combines cherry blossom extract and sweet almond oil with a babassu-nut derived surfactant to remove dirt without stripping moisture.
