Gud (by Burt's Bees) Pearanormal Activity Body Wash Review

I'm really psyched about the new Gud line from Burt's Bees!  There are four scents that I talked about in a previous post (see post here) , but this post is a review of the Pearanormal Activity scent, which is exclusive to Target and not sold on Gud's website, (gudhappens.com).  
It is paraben free, and contains no phthalates, or petrochemicals.  I love that it has so many natural ingredients, but unfortunately, it is not sulfate free. :(   I looked up the main sudsing ingredient, sodium coco-sulfate, and it's basically a close cousin to sodium laureth sulfate.  But despite that, I still really love this body wash.


Here are some label shots:

It foams very nicely, even without using a pouf or washcloth, and it left my skin feeling very clean, yet soft.  It's not drying at all, (and I have very dry skin).  
The pear & acai berry scent is fantastic!   I liked it in the store, but I liked it even more in the shower this morning.  It was really fresh smelling and invigorating, and the scent lasts a loooong time.  Hours later, I am still catching a whiff of it every time my arm goes past my face, and I find that I keep sniffing my skin (and probably look like a weirdo).  
Even my husband, who isn't crazy about perfumes and scents in general, said I smelled good today.  Plus, I didn't wear perfume, because I wanted to see how the staying power on the scent was, and didn't want anything to compete with it.


Has anyone seen this in stores yet?  Or tried any of the other products in the line?

GUD by Burt's Bees spotted at Target

I was in Target tonight and saw an endcap full of brightly colored bath and body products called GUD.  When I looked closer, I realized that it's made by Burts Bees! 

The line at Target  so far consists of Body Washes, Body Lotions, Shampoo and Conditioner in 4 scents.  

According to the Gud website, there is also body butter, hand cream, hand wash and body mist, but my local Target doesn't carry those, at least not yet.  They are all natural, and contain no parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals, and according to their website, the scents will make people want to stand a little closer to you and that you'll want to be triple-sniffing your arm.  

Here's a closer look at the scents: 

 Floral Cherrynova according to their website smells like Cherry Blossom and Almond Milk and is sweet but never cloying.  It's a very soft, floral scent.

 

Pearanormal Activity smells like Pear and Acai Berry.  This scent is a Target exclusive (not sold on the Gud website) and seems to be the most popular, as there were only a handful of them left on the shelf.  I scored the last body wash, and will review it later this week!

Vanilla Flame smells like Vanilla and Rice Milk.  I loved this scent as well- it is almost a spot-on dupe for Bath and Body Works Rice Flower and Shea, and it smells very light and sweet.

Finally, there's Orange Petalooza which smells like blood orange and hyacinth.  It smelled very fresh, clean and citrusy.
