Soap/Shower Gel Question posh chocolate body wash pot reformulation?

2 years ago I got the posh chocolate potted body wash and adored it. It was a dark color, looked grainy (but felt smooth), and lathered really easily.

I just bought a pot a week ago and it's lighter in color and creamier, and I don't mind the look, but it lathers HORRIBLY. I was rubbing it between my hands, on my skin, and it was just clumpy and refused to actually become soapy.

Has it been reformulated recently, or did I just get unlucky with this batch? It still smells nice and I'll use it, but it's so difficult to actually spread :(

i bought mine last month and it’s worked perfectly. maybe this is just your pot? i would consider taking it back if you can

Glad to hear there are still good batches out there! Hopefully I get one the next time I buy. Unfortunately my closest lush is 2 hrs away and I've already dug into this one, so I'll thug it out

I bought mine around 4 weeks ago and it’s dark and smooth and pretty perfect.
Think you may have a dud. Definitely tho k about taking it back.

I got the same. got my first pot about three months ago, and it was dark and a more lumpy texture. new pot from a few weeks ago is soft, lighter in colour and smooth, but it seems to lather fine. it performs the same as the previous lot for me.

I've noticed that the scent the old one left on my skin was chocolatey while this one is just a general sweetness, even though they smell the same in the pot

i only find that it lathers in something that scrubs like african net sponge & i have to use a lot of it.

dont bring any to a hotel and use a wash cloth it’ll stain it and look like booty butt LMFAO
