Advantages: Hydrating, easy to apply, extra good to dry skin

Disadvantages: Not all smell so good

I have used The Body Shop body butters on and off for many years. My favourite Body Shop smells are Vanilla and Moonflower, neither of which, for some reason, can be bought in the Body Butter range. However, I have used the Coconut ‘flavour’ and find it very tasty indeed.

My least favourite of the body butters is the Papaya, which was given to me as a Christmas present. As body butters go, it does its job of moisturising the skin but I have to say the smell was deeply unpleasant. Sort of musty (yes musty, not musky) and nastily synthetic. I have before me the latest Body Shop catalogue and the Papaya doesn’t feature in it. Perhaps I wasn’t the only one who disliked the smell.

To get the best from a body butter it should be used directly after a shower or bath, whilst the skin is still warm. This will ensure the butter ‘melts’ into your skin and allows for ease of application.

The butter should not be applied too heavily or your skin will be too greasy and may spoil clothing.

When applied correctly, the richness of the body butter will ensure your skin is deeply moisturised and I have read reviews from other users that the Shea Body Butter is particularly beneficial to eczema sufferers.

If my skin has become a little overheated by the sun, I find the Body Shop Body Butters, particularly the Shea Body Butter is soothing to my skin.

Overall, The Body Shop Body Butter range is good value for money because it does last a quite a long time providing you use it sparingly. The present range in the UK includes: Coconut; Passion Fruit; Almond; Mango; Olive; Brazil Nut; Shea; Strawberry; Satsuma; Cocoa; Hemp and Vitamin E.

I do hope the range will soon include Vanilla and Moonflower - I'll be first in the queue.


Price: Approximately £10.00 for 200ml

Summary: A product well deserving of its popularity
