Body Shop Body Butters Review

The Body Shop Body Butters Review.



I have to admit, I do have a bit of an obsession with body butters, especially those from The Body Shop.




My current total is 8 tubs, and there is so many more Id like to try, including the new raspberry one which I have just spotted on their website.


Lets go back to the beginning and I'll explain why. I suffer from eczema, which means my skin can get very dry, and sometimes sore, so I gave to be very careful what creams, lotions, perfumes etc that I use. I do get prescription creams but they are very plain and I was trying to find something scented so I could get the benefit of a moisturising cream but still have a subtle nice lingering scent. I've tried various creams before from supermarket versions to pricier brands and I finally found exactly what I needed from The Body Shop.
I've always loved their way of thinking, this is what they say in their about us section.

We believe true beauty comes from the heart. For us, beauty is much more than a pretty face.
We make our products with love and care. We source some of the finest raw ingredients from the four corners of the globe. We harness the skills of artisan farmers and add our expertise to create effective products that are wonderful to use.
We trade fairly so communities benefit as well as you. We never test on animals, and all our products are 100% vegetarian. We campaign with passion on issues close to our heart, because activism is in our blood. We always keep people, animals and the planet in mind. So when you shop with us, you are choosing...





The ones that I have are Mango, Aloe. Pink Grapefruit, Blueberry, Honeymania, Papaya, Passion Fruit, and Vanilla Bliss. 


My favourite so far has to be Blueberry. All of them are very moisturising and cause very little irritation on my skin. I try not to use them when I have bad flare ups and rely on prescription products during this time, but when its healed I use the body butters daily. They moisturise very well and it soaks into my skin very quickly without leaving a sticky residue and leave my skin feeling really soft, and the lovely scents mean I don't always have to wear perfume and they last all day. Many times people have asked me what perfumes I wear and are usually surprised when I say its a body cream.

I rarely buy them at full price so end up buying them in their sales, which is why I have so many, and usually use a discount code and cashback websites as well which are a big help
