The Body Shop Body Butter

I absolutely love The Body Shop's body butters. Skin experts recommend that we moisturise our skin every two hours. Show me someone who has the time to do that and I'll show you someone with too much time on their hands! Body butters are great because they offer 24 hour moisturisation, so if you slap them on in the morning, they are still working when you go to bed that night. Body butters are suitable for any skin type from normal to extra dry, but are especially good for dry skin or for just after you've shaved your legs. Body butters contain shea butter and soybean oil as their active ingredients. Both of these moisturise, soften and ...  Read the complete review

Body Shop Body Butters come in a range of flavours inc. Mango, Coconut, Cocoa Butter, Passionfruit and Mango. They contain community Trade ingredients such as shea butter which means that by buying these products you are helping people in third world countries as The Body Shop pay these people a fair price for the ingredients. The different butters are suitable for different skin types. Eg. Mango is for very dry skin but in my experience I find that people actually choose which they want by the smell which is one of the best things about these. As they do contain natural ingredients they do smell of what they are. Eg. satsuma does smell of satsuma and does not ...  Read the complete review

I have been using The Body Shop Body Butter for over 3 months now and have two sorts. I have got a large pot of Pomegranate Body Butter (which was a Christmas limited edition) and I've got a small pot of Passion Fruit Body Butter. I have had the Pomegranate Body Butter for longer. Both of them are lovely flavours and have a really pleasant aroma that is not too strong which means you can enjoy the scent whilst you apply it but it doesn't linger on you or your clothes for the entire day. I think they both provide really effective moisturising and I use them both as a body moisturiser and as hand cream because I tend to get quite dry skin on my hands. Both ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion some of the best body lotion/moisturizers around are the range of Body Butters from The Body Shop. We are all aware of the ethical beauty store, The Body Shop which was founded by Anita Roddick in the 1970's. It now has over 2,000 stores in 54 countries and is the second largest cosmetic franchise in the world. It is known for its global issues around the world and makes sure that its products are not tested on animals, defend human rights etc. Apparently by the end of 2008 65% of their products will contain community traded ingredients. In 2006 they actually spent over $12 million on Community Traded ingredients. Their Body Butters definitely ...  Read the complete review

Body shop Satsuma Body Butter. £12.00 for 200mls. This review started life as a wee orange tub of stuff that I tried and thought it was so good I would review it. It actually turned out to be, for me, hours of poring over the internet finding out fascinating things about the main ingredient which is Shea butter and when I started researching the other ingredients I found lots of interesting facts about the moisturising qualities that most of the ingredients in this product have, some of them even say they help stretch marks, guess I'll be buying a big tub! The main ingredient comes from the Karite tree in Africa, this tree Lives to two ...  Read the complete review
