The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

...I never seems to have the time, but this stuff is luxurious. I apply this stuff after I've had a bath and dab it over my skin, then rubbing it in. It is of quite a thick consistency and not at all runny. It doesnt seem to be greasy and my skin absorbs it straight away. It dramatically moisturises the skin and leaves a lovely sweet cocoa butter smell, which stays on the skin for a good while. The next time I get in the bath (usually the day after) ...
...opening the product you get a lovely smell that is almost edible, with the subtle note of cocoa coming through. PACKAGING The product is in a beige broad round tub with a screw lid. On the lid is a picture of what I imagine to be cocoa beans, with white writing encrypted over it, stating what it is and the company. The top half of the writing is in English and the bottom half corresponds in French. It does state that the product is for very dry ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

The Body Shop has launched a new range called 'Africa'. Each product comes in a huge tub, beautifully presented and makes a great present. I, however, would rather just treat myself! My favourite of the range, is their pots of Cocoa Butter Body Lotion. It smells absolutely yummy and is such a treat - I can't wait to get out of the bath so that I can apply the product! The lotion is thick and very intensive. It sinks into the skin evenly and is very ...
...so silky and smooth. The Body Shop buy their cocoa beans from a trade organisation in Africa - hence, the product name. By buying the product, you are also helping disadvantaged people to gain employment. The range also includes mud masks and bath salts. The pot is quite pricey, but is definetley worth it if you are looking for a really intensive cream. The smell is so delicious that you will find yourself applying it just to quell your hunger. Yum, ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

...absoloutely wonders for your skin. The smell is a real 'feel good factor' but sadly not everyone loves the rich scent of cocoa butter. The other 'not-so-good-thing' is that the bottle cannot be in an array of sizes and the bottle is awfully 'plain.' As for your skin, well that's what really matters. Body shop's lotions are great for dry or irritated skin-just like mine. The lotion works wonders and is just a tiny bit disappointing due to the fact ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

...products on animals other than the ones they are intended for (yes, good old homo sapiens). The reason for this is very simple: the melting point of cocoa butter is just slightly lower than normal skin temperature and the skin absorbs the oil very well. As part of the 'Africa' range of products, the cocoa butter used in the Cocoa Butter body lotion is fairly traded (in other words, farmers growing cocoa beans are paid a reasonable living wage for ...
...As far as the product itself is concerned, like many Body Shop products, it is available in different packages, from the 30ml bottle (ideal for holidays, a gym kit or as a tester) for about a couple of quid, up to larger 250ml bottles. As with most products, larger bottles can be more economical, but if you are anything like me, you'll probably waste the extra value by using more of the product than you need to. As expected, I found the cocoa butter ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

...luxury in a bottle, and the scent is divine. It’s a rich lotion containing cocoa butter and sweet almond oil that moisturizes and softens your skin with instant effect. The thick and rich texture of the lotion flows out of the bottle with ease and spreads evenly on your skin. It’s easily absorbed and is a great source of comfort especially in the cold awful winter. It is wonderful to soothe dry and rough skin. The lotion smells of toffee and the ...
...$20 (canadian dollards), with all the pleasure I have got from it, I think it's a steal. And a tip for all you people who want to spice up your love lives- forget all the messy oils and use this to give your chosen one a sensuous massage. The fragrance is yummy, the touch is smooth and the feeling is intoxicating...all in all, it works as a fantastic aphrodisiac! ...
