The Black Yuzu fragrance has already been established in the Morris Motley hand wash. The body wash takes it into the shower and pairs it with a more serious formula - one that shares its conditioning architecture with the Anti-Dandruff Conditioning Shampoo: shea butter, argan oil, spent grain wax, and a five-vitamin complex that has no business being in a body wash and is there anyway. The concept remains the same: a pungent Japanese citrus in decomposition - yuzu's bright, floral-citrus sharpness taken somewhere darker and more interesting by moss, rosewood, and tonka. Rich, creamy foam in the shower. Soft, conditioned skin after. A body wash that does more than its job description.
Available in the 500ml pump bottle and a refill sachet - the refill format is compatible with the Morris Motley pump bottle and is the more sustainable way to keep the ritual going.
Who's It For
Anyone who wants a daily body wash that genuinely conditions the skin as it cleans - not just in the way every body wash claims to, but with shea butter, argan oil, and a vitamin complex actually formulated to do it. The Black Yuzu fragrance is the most accessible in the Morris Motley range - immediately appealing citrus with enough complexity and depth to reward daily use. Works for all skin types.

Scent Profile - Black Yuzu
Black Yuzu opens with the unmistakable brightness of yuzu - floral-citrus, sharper and more complex than lemon, with a quality that's genuinely difficult to replicate synthetically. Citron zest and grapefruit amplify the citrus brightness, while yerba mate adds a green, slightly bitter undertone that prevents it from going sweet. Baie rose (pink peppercorn) introduces a gentle spiced warmth that bridges the citrus and the base. Then moss arrives to darken things - cool, earthy, and grounding - before rosewood and tonka close with warmth and skin-close depth. Citrus that has somewhere to go.
Notes: Yerba Mate, Yuzu, Citron Zest, Baie Rose, Grapefruit, Moss, Rosewood, Tonka
For a layered scent experience, pair with the Morris Motley Black Yuzu Hand Wash Refill - the same fragrance in a complementary formula designed for the sink rather than the shower.
Key Ingredients
-
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter Extract - A rich emollient that conditions and softens the skin during cleansing, counteracting the drying effect that lesser body washes produce.
-
Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil - A nourishing, fast-absorbing oil that adds softness and a light conditioning layer to the skin without residue.
-
Spent Grain Wax - A sustainable byproduct of brewing, used as a skin-conditioning agent that adds softness and a smooth after-feel - an unusual and considered ingredient choice.
-
Vitamin Complex (Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Pyridoxine HCl) - A comprehensive blend of B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E that supports skin health, barrier function, and condition with regular use. The same complex found in the Morris Motley Anti-Dandruff Conditioning Shampoo.
-
Piroctone Olamine - A gentle antimicrobial active that provides effective cleansing without the harshness of conventional antibacterial ingredients.
-
Polyquaternium-6 and Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride - Conditioning polymers that reduce friction during washing and improve the post-rinse skin feel.
-
Capryloyl/Caproyl Methyl Glucamide and Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate - Mild, plant-derived surfactants that produce the rich, creamy foam while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.
How To Use
Apply to wet skin in the shower. Massage all over the body to build a rich, creamy lather. Rinse thoroughly. Use daily. When empty, the pump bottle accepts the Morris Motley Black Yuzu refill sachet directly.
Why MASC Recommends This
The Black Yuzu Body Wash is the product that most immediately communicates what Morris Motley is doing with body care. The formula is genuinely over-specified for a body wash - the vitamin complex and spent grain wax are the kind of ingredients you'd find in a targeted skincare product - and the result is skin that feels different after a week of daily use compared to a standard shower gel. The fragrance is the most approachable in the Morris Motley range, which makes it the natural starting point for anyone new to the brand. And for those already using the Black Yuzu Hand Wash, the body wash completes the ritual and extends the scent experience throughout the day.
