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 lotion was a real treat to try. It made my skin feel very smooth and relieved my dry skin of it's itchy rough texture. Also has a very lovely scent, I do recomment this product it's a wonderful thing to have at hand especially in the winter.

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 have used this product many times. It works very well and not very greasy. However, it is WAY over priced and obviously not very affordable. The smell is also mediocre and it is a calming smell. I had a small container of it but not sure if I would buy it again. The body butters at the Body Shop last FOREVER as you only use a little at a time. So on second thought, maybe it is worth the $20 as the container will last you a year or more in my case. The men in my family use it too.

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 live in a really cold climate with harsh winters and I suffer from severely dry skin. I have tried countless products to relieve my skin but, I rarely find products that actually work. I love The Body Shop Shea Butter because it absorbs quickly, sinks deep into the skin, and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. My hands have been chapped from the cold weather for a few weeks now, and I'm amazed to find that just after a few applications...my hands are becoming softer, smoother, and more hydrated. I also really like the smell of the Shea Body Butter...very pretty! I have purchased creams, butters, and lotions for at least twice the cost of The Body Shop Shea Butter and they were twice as ineffective, The Body Shop is definitely worth the price. I highly recommend this product to anyone who expects great results!

This stuff smells really goooood. :) It is very rich and made my skin feel smooth and soft. There's only one thing I would change about this moisturizer and that's the consistancy, it's a little thick which makes it hard to spread without using too much. It is a body butter though so I guess it is intended to be thick.
