This bodywash from Trader Joe’s is a 3 in 1 bodywash, shampoo and conditioner.
I used this for bodywash and then basically just for shampoo on washday. As a bodywash, I think it’s a great job and it lathers very nicely. I actually was a huge fan of this, and I think it’s a good neutral(ish) scent.
I don’t think it did a great job as conditioner I never used this as a standalone without using a hair mask and conditioner after; it didn’t give my hair that soft, conditioned feeling nor did it have any slip.
However, it really did get my hair clean and left it smelling and feeling good. Some shampoos make my hair feel more tangled after, and this was not one of those. I wouldn’t say it has any double acting uses some other shampoos (i.e. moisturizing, detangling, strengthening, growth, etc. in addition to cleansing) but as a just a pure way to get your hair and scalp clean, I think it does better than your standard shampoo.
It is also pretty cost effective; 32 oz for shampoo and body wash is pretty great and I think the price was very reasonable. If you are looking for a bodywash that is also a solid shampoo without breaking the bank, I think this is an excellent option!

... Read moreMany of us are always on the hunt for budget-friendly yet effective personal care products, and Trader Joe's often delivers. I recently finished a bottle of their 'ALL FOR ONE FORMULA No. 3 HEAD TO TOE' 3-in-1 product, which promises to act as a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. After using the entire 32 fl oz bottle, I'm ready to share a deeper dive into my experience, especially for those wondering: 'Is Trader Joe's body wash good?' or 'How does Trader Joe's all in one shampoo really perform?'
First, let's talk about the scent, as some inquiries mention 'Trader Joe's refresh citrus body wash.' The ALL FOR ONE FORMULA No. 3 that I used has a very subtle, almost neutral scent. It's not distinctly citrusy, which means it won't clash with any perfumes or lotions you might use. For those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities, this neutral profile is a huge plus. If you're specifically seeking that invigorating 'refresh citrus' aroma, you might find this particular 3-in-1 product too mild, but personally, I appreciated its understated versatility.
As a body wash, this product truly excels. The lather is rich and luxurious, making shower time feel a bit more pampering than its affordable price tag suggests. It rinses off cleanly and leaves my skin feeling fresh, not dry or sticky. For anyone looking for a reliable, everyday body wash, especially if you appreciate the Trader Joe's brand's ethos, this 'ALL FOR ONE' formula is a strong contender. It certainly lives up to its promise on the body side of things.
Now, for its performance on hair. As a shampoo, I found it surprisingly effective for cleansing. It really gets your scalp clean without leaving that stripped feeling some harsh shampoos can. For those with oily hair, or who need a good reset wash to remove product buildup, this could be a fantastic option. However, as a conditioner, its power is minimal. If you have dry, color-treated, or curly hair, you'll almost certainly need to follow up with a dedicated conditioner or a hair mask. For my hair, which is generally normal to slightly oily, it worked well as a shampoo, but I wouldn't rely on it for significant softness or detangling alone. It’s definitely not a 'one for all shampoo, conditioner' if you have specific conditioning requirements or very long/thick hair.
Let's not forget the incredible value. This 32 fl oz bottle delivers a lot of product for a very reasonable price. Finding a product that works reasonably well for both body and hair at such an affordable price point is increasingly rare. While it might not fully replace specialized products for everyone, its dual-purpose nature (especially as a body wash and effective shampoo) makes it a smart buy for busy mornings, gym bags, or even as a convenient guest bathroom staple. If you're asking 'is Trader Joe's body wash good?' purely for its cost-effectiveness and ability to cleanse, my answer is a resounding yes, keeping its conditioning limitations in mind.
So, who would I recommend this 'Trader Joe's all in one shampoo' and body wash to? It's perfect for minimalists, budget-conscious shoppers, or anyone who wants a solid cleansing product that gets the job done without fuss. If you have very specific hair care needs (like intense moisture or repair), view this as an excellent shampoo and body wash first, but plan on pairing it with a separate conditioner. It's a great example of a product that generally delivers on its core promise: 'HEAD TO TOE' cleanliness in one convenient bottle.
Yeah, I like this a lot. I buzz my head so I don’t have to worry too much about the conditioner, but it does get you clean and fresh.
