Review body lotion the body shop năm 2024

The Body Shop is a much-loved brand for its unique scents and effective hair care products. However, there have been recent concerns about changes in their product formulas leading to lack of scent and less effective moisturizing capabilities.

I bought this lotion hoping it would deepen my white musk perfume oil. Not only did it enhance the fragrance the lotion absorbed quickly into my skin and didn’t leave any greasy residue.

No kidding. My legs (well, my whole body) is drier than the Sahara. For years, I struggled to find a body lotion that can keep my skin soft and supple from morning till evening without having to reapply it 1000 times in between.

When shea butter entered my life, angels started to sing. I kid you not, this is the most moisturising thing I’d come across so far. I slather it on after a shower and I don’t have to worry about my skin for the rest of the day.

Needless to say, these days I rarely buy a body lotion, cream, or butter without shea butter. So, it’s a bit odd that I always neglected The Body Shop Shea Body Butter, especially because I love the rest of the range (my fave is coconut).

There was always something that held me back, but I didn’t know what. Now I do. Here’s what I mean:

SHEA BUTTER TO MOISTURISE SKIN

Shea butter is a godsend for dry skin. Derived from the nut of the Shea tree, this fat is rich in moisturising fatty acids and antioxidants.

Fatty acids are what makes it work so well: they create a protective barrier on the skin that slows down water loss. Moisture is now forced to stay into the skin, hydrating it from within.

FYI, shea butter is even more moisturising than mineral oil (what derms consider the gold standard for moisturisation). Its effects lasts for up to 8 hours, if not more!

GLYCERIN TO HYDRATE SKIN

Think of glycerin as a moisture magnet: this little molecule attracts moisture into the air, drops it into your skin and binds it there.

Your skin now has plenty of extra moisture to keep it soft and hydrated for hours on end. Pair it with shea butter and you’ve got a very moisturising combo.

Texture

The texture takes some getting used to too. It’s not greasy and it absorbs quite quickly – as long as you don’t go overboard and apply too much. That’s totally unnecessary anyway. A little goes a long, long way. But it is quite hard spread easily on the skin. Warmed it up between your fingers for a couple of minutes first.

Fragrance

It’s both flowery and nutty. And strong. It’s one of those scents that a lot of people will either love or hate at first sniff.

How To Use It

Massage it on your body after a shower.

Performance & Personal Opinion

I love what The Body Shop Shea Body Butter does for my Sahara-like skin. I just don’t like using it – and not just because it took me a while to get used to its strong, nutty scent.

I’m not too keen on the texture either. It’s not as grainy and thick as pure shea butter (phew!), but you still need to warm it up between your fingers to get it to glide smoothly onto your skin.

It’s a bit of a hassle, but the results are so worth it. The butter is super moisturizing and a real godsend even for the driest of skin, like mine.

The smallest amount leaves my skin soft, smooth and moisturised from morning till night. Heck, I even think it may be a tad too rich for summer. I’ll probably have to switch to something lighter then. Who would have thought?

Who Is This For?

Dry skin.

Who Is This Not For?

Oily and acne-prone skin.

Packaging

Big brown jar. Not the most hygienic, but it’s the most practical packaging for such a thick formula.

Does The Body Shop Shea Body Butter Live Up To Its Claims?

CLAIM TRUE? Body Butter for dry to very dry skin. True. 72 hour ultra-rich moisture. It doesn’t last 72 hours on me, but it does last 24. Replenishes skin with moisture. Yes. Protects skin from dryness. True again. Indulgently rich butter texture that sinks into the skin. True, but you have to warm it up first. Non greasy and non-sticky. Yes. Once it sinks in, it leaves no residue behind.

Price & Availability

$36.00/£16.00 at The Body Shop and Ulta

Do You Need It?

If you have super dry skin and you don’t like the texture, you’ll like this. It works.
