The Body Shop Body Butter Shea Creme, 192g

I have been using this coconut body butter for at least 6 years, and it does a great job of moisturizing! I put it on my hands right before I leave to go somewhere, because it keeps my hands from looking old and wrinkled. My only disappointment is that this size is one-fourth of what I've been buying, but the retail store no longer carries it. I'm lucky to have found it on Amazon!! I will be buying it again as long as Amazon has it!

I can’t believe I found this! Used it years ago! Non greasy! Soft! Smells sooooo good! The scent last all day! I will continue to reorder it!

This is my favorite body butter. I have dry skin and this lotion is heavier than your grocery store lotions. It helps keep my skin moisturized all day. Mango is my favorite scent but I also love coconut and rose. I love that I can order ot online it now because the store in my area closed.

As a long-time user of The Body Shop's hemp moisturizing body butter I was unhappy when The Body Shop closed stores and online orders in the USA about a year ago. So I was glad to see a retailer from India begin providing stock to the USA again. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's the real product that I've been getting previously in the USA. Yes, since I find that a 6.75 ounce tub lasts me a long time, I think it's worth it...

Very hydrating and the fragrance stayed on my skin throughout the day. It’s thick and makes skin soft.

As you can see on the left (which is the old product) I clearly LOVED their body butter and used every bit of it. I noticed they changed the packaging, which is fine, I actually like the new style better, it looks a lot nicer. However I immediately noticed that the smell was odd, I thought it was just because I got a different scent, but you can barely smell the strawberry, it mostly smells like unscented candle wax. I thought maybe when I put it on it would be different, but nope it's very strong and my husband even noticed and said "What is that smell? It smells like really old, expired lotion." Also when applying it, I had to really dig at it to even get some out and even when warming it up by rubbing my hands together, it still is very hard to apply. The consistency is literally like if you mixed lotion with wax. It even left my body really sticky, and I put it on before bed, it is still sticky to where my clothes are clinging to my skin half way through the next day, and I still smell like unscented candle wax. You can see in the second picture the comparison in the texture of the old formula on the left and the new one on the right.I will obviously be returning this, especially because I don't like how hard I had to rub it in and it was tugging and pulling on my skin which obviously isn't good for preventing future wrinkles. I'm really really bummed about this, because I have never loved a body butter so much I that I actually used the ENTIRE tub, so now I have to go on the hunt to find a new unicorn.

Amazing smell

I like the smell of it, but not the texture so much. It doesn't go on as easily as I expected it to.
