    The Body Shop's body butter had always been my first love. I love their creamy texture, the way they smell on your skin and pillow when you are about to drift off to sleep, and how much they heal extra-dry skin.

    But one of the things I always loved most about The Body Shop body butter was the variety and genuine smell of fruit, flower, etc.

    This is why I was very disappointed about the Shea Body Butter. The smell is pleasant, but it is very masculine in nature. It reminds me of my grand-father's Old Spice - when I would sit on his lap he would smell just like this body butter. I guess you can say I like this body butter, because I associate it with my nostalgic memories, but really, I would never buy it for a woman, because the strong scent gives me a headache and lacks femininity. And from the range of body butters available at the Body Shop I would never buy this for 20 dollars when they are so many other flirtatious and fun scents to be had.

    I would recommend buying this for men, because of its masculine-appeal. I think your bf, husband, or even, father is going to love this as his holiday stocking stuffer.

    Thanks ChickAdvisor!
    This body butter is exactly what I have been looking for! A lotion that actually coats your skin, and pulls in all the moisturizer. My hands get very dry in the winter, and already they look cracked and dry. This body butter saved the day! After about a week of using it about twice a day, my hands are looking so much better. I LOVE the smell as well. It's perfect to add a little subtle scent for the day. I would definately buy it again, but I would prefer to ask for it as a gift because its a little too pricey for me, but given the size of the container I hope it will last a long time. Another benefit of this product is that it is ethically sourced, and provides back to other communities. Very awesome product by Body Shop!

    This body butter is great. I've bought stuff form the body shop before, which is always a bit expensive, but it works well. Makes your skin feel really smooth and I guess that's the whole point. Scent is alright, I've used mango in the past which I like better.

    Give it try :)

    I love Body Shop products. I've used this product before and it's glorious on your dry skin. The smell is absolutely heavenly.

    This body butter is very thick in consistancy. I really like the smell, but I think it's one of those smells you either love or you hate. It moisturized really well and made my skin very soft, and I like this product very much, and I would pay the price for it.

    I received this product from the Body Shop. I have been wanting to try the Body Shop's Body Butter for years, but never bought it myself because of the price. So I was pretty excited to try this product free of charge.

    I am happy to say that it was worth the wait! This product is in a category of its own when it comes to lotions. It leaves my skin sooo smooth, and very few products I've tried can rival it.

    I probably wouldn't purchase because it is more than double the price of other lotions. They may not meet its standards but are still pretty good. I might buy it as a gift for a friend.

    I've never used body butter before but my skin gets very dry in the winter so I thought I'd give it a try. I think his product is very good for dry skin!

    As a "butter" its consistency is much thicker than lotion, in fact, it's a butter-like consistency :P It did take me a bit to get used to scraping it out of the container as opposed to pumping it out like I normally do with lotion. I also found that I had to rub a little more in to get into my skin. The result was that my skin felt very hydrated. I used it in the morning and at night (after I shower) and find that does a really good job and I don't feel that I need to moisturize again during the day.

    I really like the smell of this too. For some Body Shop items I find the smells are too much but this was a bit more subtle. So it smells good but isn't too overwhelming.

    The only thing I don't like about this product is it's price, $20. For me, that's a lot to spend on a lotion. But I don't need to use too much on my skin so it'd last quite a long time. If I were to buy this again I'd probably just use it on my extremely dry areas - feet, hands and sometimes legs, just so I don't waste a product this expensive on other parts of my body that don't need it.

    After only using this product for a few days I noticed a significant improvement to the texture of my skin, as it is now smoother and more supple. There are no dry flakes in sight, and I am happy that this lotion worked so quickly and efficiently! I have received many compliments on how soft my hands are and I have also been asked what lotion I use because the scent of it is appealing.

    I also like the texture of this product as it is more solid than other more liquid forms of body lotions. It is easier to apply, as I have had many annoying experiences with pouring out too much watery lotions! The packaging of this product is classy and a convenient size to fit in a medium-sized handbag, which is where I leave mine so I can use it whenever I'm on the go.

    I would definitely recommend this product. Though I've used other lotions that have had similar effects, I like the aesthetic appeal to this product as well as the scent. I encourage you to splurge on this little piece of luxury! Your skin will thank you.
