DELON BODY BUTTERS

First of all I would like to explain how I came by these wonderful body butters.
My ‘other half ‘ knew that I had been hunting for over a year for a product similar to one that I had found in Bangkok.
I loved my Thai Coconut body butter that I had found over there, but could not find anything that came close to it in the UK albeit the Body shop came a close second!

So, for Christmas this year he wrapped up a pack of 5 body butters all in a presentation package.
The package contained Olive, Mango, Coconut, White Chocolate and Raspberry/Black current. The tubs themselves are pretty , the Olive one being a green tub, White Chocolate (white) no surprises there then, Coconut (brown), Mango (orange) Raspberry/Black current (red). Purchased in Costco, so I knew he must have seen a bargain, being the true Scotsman he is!

I was so excited to see if they lived up to their promise, and since Christmas have used alternative tubs each day.


INGREDIENTS

All have the basic ingredients being Cyclomerhicone, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 60, Glyercin, Dimethicone, PEG-100 stearate, Beeswax, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyacrylamide/C14-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Isonbutylparaben, N-Butylparaben Disodium EDTA, BHT, FD&C, but each individual cream of course has its’ added ingredients as well as the basic ones to give them that individual fragrant aroma.


USING THE PRODUCT

I find I need body creams as I have very dry skin, and do not use them just for a pampering session, but if I must use them for necessity then why not enjoy the luxury too?! It makes a nice change from petroleum jellies and the like!

I was a bit dubious initially as my skin can re-act sometimes to strong smelling aromas, but I have to say I have had no fights with these lovely butters on my skin….they are wonderfully gentle, yet the Mango aroma can be rather strong when you first apply it, but it just soaks into the skin, and leaves you feeling all soft and cuddly, and at the same time making you feel so ‘well’ and ‘pampered’!
I can see why my ‘other half’ went for this as a gift (think he wants to eat me all the time now)! Who am I to stop him…..I mean I would want to eat him too if he used this (perhaps he will start)!

Each of these formulas’ have properties in them which really do nourish and hydrate your skin but the really exciting part is it enhances the state of mind too! I really did find I feel better, and even if I cannot explain fully to you, how good I feel using these, you have to trust me on this…..I honestly feel a sense of better ‘well being’ after applying these butters !

When I first used these, I found they apply very smoothly, and there was no need for intensive rubbing to get it absorbed into the skin…it leaves no residue of stickiness or greasiness….just a fine smooth refreshed looking skin, absolute luxury, and as I said, as soon as you have applied it you feel so exhilarated!

All day long the butter lasts, and I find I do not need to apply anymore throughout the day until my night time shower . I do apply more to my arms and elbows throughout the day, however, as I just love the feeling of it, whether I actually need to apply more or not! I am just total smitten with my 200ml tubs!

I have only been using it since Christmas, so hope I do not need to come back with my tail between my legs saying I have a massive incurable rash because of my use of this, but I somehow doubt it, as I would use it even as a well being ‘pick me up‘ and the butters themselves ‘feel‘ light enough not to irritate the skin of anyone who might have a extra dry or sensitive skin as I do!
So if anyone is wary about trying certain products because of skin allergies etc….then honestly, my skin is so hard to live with, yet, this product was so much a welcome to me, as I do suffer from intermittent Psoriasis and a bit wary of certain skin products, but this one has proved to be a winner with me!

It is one Christmas present that I will cherish, and so happy to have found!


THE FACTS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Good news is Delon claim that they do not use animals to test their products, and no animal ingredients are used. This is important to me, as I am against testing on animals!

Now, the packaging on this gift type collection, states that yes, they are Delon + Body Butter (Luxurious Body Moisturizers, but if you look at the back of the package it tells you that it was imported by Costco Wholesale UK Ltd., so not sure if you can obtain this certain gift pack anywhere else, though I do know that while looking for this product online, I came across a few E-Bay sellers, who were advertising the individual tubs, varying between £2.99 to £3.99 per tub, but cannot find the actual gift pack anywhere including Costco!

Delon is actually based in Canada and if you go into their website www.labdelon.com it tells you that this company has been running for 64 years.

I was also amazed to see that it guides you to retailers who stock their products, and this included of course, Costco, along with Brooks, Sam’s Club & Target. This puzzled me a bit as I am sure you must be able to purchase this in more retail shops than that! As I said before though, I did find that it was being sold on E-Bay, in individual tubs, but my present was obviously exclusive to Costco, and as it was a gift, I do not know how much was paid for the 5 tubs in the gift package, but I can only assume it was in the region of about £15-£20?
My partner will not divulge what he paid for it, and was quite ‘put out’ even when I told him it was only to inform everyone in this review! I did look up Costco and spent a long time looking for it, but to not avail!

I know E-Bay will be a definite way to get it! So all I need to do now is find my favourite in these five tubs and buy it individually!

Pure luxury in a little tub!
