I love the smell of Shea Butter. I have used many products from The Body shop and this one is one of my faves. I use it everyday and it makes my skin so soft and so real good.

I love this product. It smells incredible!

I apply it directly out of the shower/bath, when my skin is still damp. I find that this way makes my skin feel a lot more moisturized and hydrated. The body butter makes your skin so smooth and silky, it's awesome.

I'd totally recommend this product to anyone!

I NEVER leave the house without covering my body in shea body butter. It leaves my skin soft all day long and the scent is too die for and isn't too overpowering as some perfumes. I love love LOVE this product and my husband always buys this for me so that if I run out I have extra on hand because I can't go a day without it:)

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter is an amazing product that really moisturizes your skin for a long period of time. This body butter is very reasonably priced and one of my faves. If you're looking for a great body butter choose this one, you won't be disappointed:)

As I have skin asthma, my skin gets very dry especially on the arms, shoulders and thighs especially on extreme weather conditions. Body Shop's Shea Body Butter keeps my skin (on problem areas) itch-free and supple.

I've always been wanting to buy a body butter from the body shop but it was very pricey, a few weeks back The body shop was having a promotion if you buy 5 or more items in the store you get 50% off, so I went with my friends and I got the shea body butter because i'm a swimmer with very dry skin.

it did a good job in keeping my skin moisturised and it lasted, I wish i got more since I'm at the pool almost every day

hopefully they'll have another sale like that

I love the smell and how well this product works. The only thing that I hate is how high the price is, but other than that amazing product :)

Amazing product with an amazing smell ... I only wish the price wasn't so high!

This is the best product for severely dry skin.

Yes, until very recently, I was a Body Shop virgin because as much as I've wanted to try their body butters, I always thought they were too pricey for me - come on, why would I want to pay $18 for a 200ml body butter that I can find at Wal-Mart for only $6 (I'm talking about SPAresource body butters)? I've always been happy with those drugstore body butters but I ran out of them and my eczema always seems to worsen in the winter and there's no way I will use a body lotion instead, it's just not enough moisturizing.

So at the beginning of December, I stumbled accross The Body Shop's 3 for $30 offer on their whole website, and I figured out it was the perfect time to give those mystical butters a try as they would cost only $10 each with free shipping.

The first butter I decided to try was the Shea Body Butter as it's designed for very dry skin and from what I have heard, it is claimed to be the thickest and most moisturizing of all The Body Shop body butters, which is exactly what my parched and eczema-prone skin needed!

I ordered this body butter in the jumbo format (400ml) because it was included in the 3 for $30 offer, but otherwise, it retails at $25 (!!!) Even though I was warned, let me confirm that yes, the jumbo size is really jumbo! At first I was worried I wouldn't be able to go through this humongous tub before the end of the winter (I don't use body butters in the summer, they are just too heavy) and I only hoped it wouldn't go bad too soon, but I have been using this butter since the beginning of December and I'm already half way through it (I use it every night after showering all over my body).

As soon as I started using the Shea body butter, I fell in love with its amazing texture. The consistency is dreamy - rich, creamy and perfectly thick - exactly what I'm expecting in a body butter! Some say it's greasy, but hey, this stuff has been designed for very dry skin for a reason! If you have extremely dry, dehydrated skin, like me, it soaks it all up in a matter of seconds without leaving greasy residue behind.

In the tub, the butter looks hard and solid but it really melts as soon as it comes in contact with the skin.

It's a little hard to describe what Shea smells like but I would say it's a sort of neutral clean and fresh smell that is slightly earthy and nutty, with a hint of floral. I think it's a very creamy, cozy and comforting smell that is not overpowering but I would not say it's very light either. I also doesn't linger on the skin very long, which is disappointing in my opinion.

At first, I must say I wasn't blown away by this butter. I mean, I have tried quite a few body butters in the past and I always went back to the ones from SPAresources because they were inexpensive, did the job quite well and had that perfectly buttery texture. However, I have realized that with continuous use, The Body Shop Shea Body Butter soothed my irritated skin and I haven't experienced any eczema flare-ups since I started using it. Sure, my skin still ocasionally itches and sometimes I have to apply moisturizer in the morning to get me through the day, but I haven't feel the need to reach for my steroid cream and this is a big step forward in my book.

Of course, the main issue for me with these butters is the price: mini (50 ml / 1.7 oz) for $6.00, regular (200 ml / 7.0 oz) for $18.00 and jumbo (400 ml / 13.5 oz) for $25.00. I won't need to buy these full-price anytime soon because I guess it will take me a long time to get through the six butters I ordered in December, but The Body Shop always has some kind of deals going on such as buy 1 get 1 50% off, buy 3 get 2 free, etc. But still, I'm not convinced these body butters are a must have if you don't have problem skin that requires heavy-duty moisture.

The body butters are available on The Body Shop website and you get free shipping with any purchase of $75 (be sure to check out RetailMeNot for coupons before ordering!)
