Annique Rooibos Resque Rooibos Wash – 500ml

A luxurious herbal gel wash that cleanses, soothes and nourishes — the pure, refreshing embrace of Rooibos and Patchouli for hands and body.

What It Does

Daily cleansing should do more than simply remove dirt. It should support the skin’s natural balance, leave it feeling genuinely nourished and provide a moment of sensory calm in the midst of a busy day. The Annique Resque Rooibos Wash was designed with exactly this in mind — a luxurious herbal gel wash that elevates the everyday cleansing ritual into a moment of pure botanical tranquillity.

Infused with the soothing power of Rooibos Extract — rich in natural antioxidants that protect and nourish the skin — and Patchouli Oil, known for its calming, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, this wash gently yet effectively cleanses the hands and body while actively supporting skin health with every use. It reduces bacteria and fungi on the skin’s surface, helps prevent body odour and skin infections, soothes irritation and maintains the skin’s own natural moisture balance — leaving skin feeling fresh, soft and settled rather than stripped or tight.

Designed for both hands and body, its invigorating herbal formula refreshes the senses while restoring comfort and balance to the skin. And the newly added pump dispenser makes it more practical than ever — one-hand operation in the shower, controlled dispensing with no waste or spillage and a significantly more hygienic delivery system that minimises the introduction of bacteria or water into the bottle.

⚠️ Important: For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Store out of direct sunlight.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis) A powerful natural antioxidant that helps soothe and nourish the skin throughout the cleansing process. Rooibos calms irritation and redness, protects against free radical damage and environmental stress and helps maintain skin comfort and balance with every wash — adding meaningful skin benefit to what would otherwise be a purely cleansing step.

Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon Cablin) A well-established botanical oil known for its calming, anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Patchouli Oil helps reduce bacteria and fungi on the skin’s surface — actively helping to prevent the skin infections and unpleasant body odour that bacterial and fungal growth can cause — while simultaneously soothing irritation and supporting the skin’s natural moisture balance. Its distinctive earthy, grounding fragrance adds a calming, sensory dimension to every wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the new pump dispenser? The newly added pump dispenser makes daily use significantly more practical and hygienic. It allows one-hand operation — particularly useful in the shower when hands are wet and slippery — delivers controlled dispensing that reduces waste and spillage and minimises the contact between hands and the product inside the bottle, reducing the risk of introducing bacteria or water into the wash over time.

Can I use this on both my hands and body? Yes. The Resque Rooibos Wash is specifically designed for use on both the hands and the body — making it a versatile, practical daily wash that covers the full cleansing routine in one product.

Does this help with body odour? Yes. Patchouli Oil’s well-established antibacterial and antifungal properties help reduce the bacteria on the skin’s surface that contribute to body odour — providing natural, botanical odour protection as part of the daily cleansing routine.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. The anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of both Rooibos Extract and Patchouli Oil make this wash gentle and well tolerated by sensitive and reactive skin types. If you have very reactive skin, a patch test before full use is recommended.

Should I apply a moisturiser after using this wash? Yes — and Annique specifically recommends it. Patting dry and immediately applying a Resque treatment cream or body lotion after washing locks in moisture and extends the nourishing benefit of the wash — leaving skin feeling significantly softer and more comfortable than cleansing alone.

Is this suitable for children? The formula is gentle and suitable for family use. Keep out of reach of young children and supervise use. For babies and very young children, the Annique Baby Range is specifically formulated for the most delicate skin.
