One of the heroes in Flamingo Estate’s Garden Essentials Body Wash is meadowfoam oil.

Meadowfoam oil helps to support your skin's barrier and assists in locking moisture into the skin. You’ll also find sunflower seed oil and steam-distilled West Australian eucalyptus in this luxurious body wash that’s designed to help promote and protect your skin’s natural biome.
