C.O. Bigelow Barber Hair & Body Wash Elixir Red No. 1608 Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

Price: $ ($10) – Available at C.O. Bigelow.
Scent: Potent blend of spice, red currant, fig, and sandalwood.
I Like: the versatility of the product – made for hair and body.  
Not a fan of: the strong fragrance, sulfate ingredients, and paraben preservatives.
