The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion

...problem is more prevalent in the winter (although living in Wales it is perfectly possible in the summer too) particularly with central heating blasting out... Anyway, the end result is that my poor leggies are red and sore and at their worst they have a burning sensation. Apparantly this is an allergic reaction... I ask you, allergic to the cold, what next? Which brings me handily to the subject of this particular op... Body Shop Cocoa Butter. ...
...rich enough to actually do the job of sorting my poor skin out. **THE PACKAGING** I usually buy mine in the 250ml size bottle but there are various sizes available including a handy travel size. The bottles themselves are simple in design, short fat plastic cynlindars with a black screw top, nothing fancy there... they are see through so you can see how much there is left and they have the traditional Body Shop logo and the name of the product ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion

...using it ever since, buying the larger 250ml bottles that cost about four pounds (cheaper if you pick them up in the sales Body shop have now and then, my last big bottle cost only £2.50) Cocoa is often used in skin products - for its smell and skin friendly qualities. However, this is a product grown in poor parts of the world, and most commercial users exploit their workers. The beans used from this product come from Ghana and are marked as "Community ...
...clear, so you can see the creamy coloured product within. It does say clearly on the front that this is a product for dry skin, so if you are a greasy type and find it doesn't work for you, don't say you weren't warned!. Open the lid. Smells - slightly sharp, slightly creamy, quite distinctive. Squeeze out a dab - you don't need much, it is rich stuff. Work into hands, face, or wherever you feel you need it. Yo have to masage it in, (or get your ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion

Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion from The Body Shop (for Dry Skin). I have been using a sample bottle of this product, in fact it's the Hand & Body Butter in a 60ml bottle. This was a gift with lots of other small bottles, which I think is a great gift as you can get to try out and see which ones you would like to buy in bigger bottles. The low down from The Body Shop about their Cocoa Butter range is as follows (and one of their best sellers with a very ...
...and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families. Price: The price for a 250ml bottle (online price) is £8.00. ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion

...being hard and chaffing in the winter. Having been given a free bottle of the Body Shop's cocoa hand and body lotion I was keen to try it. I love it. This product is so good that I think it should be available on the NHS. My hands are now constantly soft (people even ask me how I got such soft hands!). The product also has the benefit of sinking into the skin easily and not leaving a greasy, sticky layer on the skin. It can also be used on the rest ...
...elbows, knees and feet. The only problem that some people find with it is that it does have a smell of cocoa butter, if you are not keen on this smell then it may not be the best thing for you to use, however the smell does not linger and if you can cope with it then it is worth it, personally I quite like the smell. It costs approximately £4.50 per 250ml bottle, this is not particularly expensive and it has the benefit of lasting for ages. ...

Review of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion

...size of this hand lotion. The lotion itself is a pretty thick lotion that takes ages to rub into your hands and even then its not really been absorbed that well. It left my hands sticky and feeling really greasy - I had to wash them several times till i got rid of the greasy feeling which rather defies the point of using it in the first place! Also it does not smell all that good either and usually you can say thats the one good thing about buying ...
