For my birthday I received a gift set of Boots Extracts products in miniature sizes and, whilst I've used them all to avoid waste, I can't say I've been overly impressed with any of them. The body butters did work as skin moisturisers, fair enough, but the fragrances used in all of the products didn't appeal to me so I quickly realised I wouldn't be purchasing any of the full sized products when they ran out. Unfortunately my mother-in-law saw my bathroom shelf full of them, deduced that I must like them and so when she was buying us some going away gifts for our holiday guess what was in my bundle?! Yes, a full sized tube of the Extracts Cocoa Butter Body Wash, ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~ On offer ~~~~~~ I am a big fan of the Boots Extracts range of beauty products, but do find them a bit overpriced - especially as the prices seem to go up and up and up! So what I tend to do is stock up on the odd giftset before Christmas when products are bundled together and sold significantly cheaper than if bought separately - and are on the Boots 3 for 2 deal on gifts! One of the sets I bought just before the Christmas just gone included this cocoa butter body wash. At full price this retails at £4.19 which for a body wash is extortionate in my view! As I usually pick up really good shower gels for around the £1 mark when on offer, or ...  Read the complete review

~Introduction~ A good few weeks ago I received some Boots vouchers through the post which I had redeemed through a survey panel site that I am a regular member of. I used to spend a lot of time (and money) in Boots several years ago as I worked in the city centre and there was a large store just a stones throw away from my place of work so many a lunch break would be spent there perusing. I still adore Boots products - particularly their Natural Collection, though because of family commitments I don't often get into our town centre very much where our nearest store is located and living nearby a to Superdrug means I have everything literally on my doorstep ...  Read the complete review

I'm currently doing extremely well in my mission to use my entire stash of toiletries before purchasing anything new and was rather ashamed at myself when I sorted through my supplies, which are stored in two huge plastic lidded crates, as I own far too many. In amongst the array of potions and lotions were several products belonging to the Boots Extracts Fairtrade range with this review discussing the Cocoa Butter Body Wash I found the appearance of the 200ml sturdy plastic tube quite appealing to the eye as it gave the illusion of luxury and high quality with the eye-catching bright and colourful images, which depict some of the Fairtrade certified ...  Read the complete review

I bought this as part of a box set with the body scrub and body butter included for £10 - which for all three products I considered it a bargain as the body was normally costs around £4 on its own. I love the smell of cocoa butter so was very excited to use the products. The product comes in a squeezy bottle with a deep purple label and cap, the packaging is very appealing and makes the product look quite luxurious. The consistancy of the body wash is quite thick and beige/gold in colour, which again gives the impression of luxury. It smells very sweet and rich as most cocoa butter products do. Unfortunatly I wasnt very impressed with this when I ...  Read the complete review
