Overview
We keep NIVEA Cashmere & Cotton Oil Shower Gel (250ml) on our bath & body shelf alongside 49 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: Experience the indulgent softness of this women's shower gel that leaves your skin feeling touchably smooth with a lasting soft skin sensation. Enriched with Vitamin C and E, along with precious oils, this body wash for women lavishes your skin with pampering care, protecting it from drying out. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. It holds 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon from 4,289 ratings. Where that leaves it next to the rest of the shelf is set out below.

How it compares on the bath & body shelf
We track 50 rated bath & body products, and the middle of that pack scores 4.6 out of 5. This one is on 4.7. That sits mid-table. Ratings this close together don't decide anything on their own, so weigh pack size, price per unit and the specifics below instead.
4,289 people rated it, where the shelf median is 5,923. Enough reviews to trust the direction, not enough to close the question.
The shelf runs from £1.20 to £16.91 and the midpoint is about £4.22. On price, this one is in the bottom third. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
Worked out from the 50 bath & body products we track, not from the brand's own claims.
