Product Review Body Shop Coconut Body Butter

body-butter-coconut-1

As summertime draws near, we’re probably finding ourselves wearing thinner clothing and getting ready to bare some skin.  Well, this means that you’re probably looking for a good body moisturizer that will help you show off your soft skin.

I’ve always been a fan of The Body Shop, but had never tried their body butter.  The name freaked me out a bit, and I thought it sounded too heavy for my skin and didn’t want to feel like an oil slick.  But a friend of mine gave me this Body Shop Coconut Body Butter as a gift so I had to try it!

First, I loved the tropical Coconut smell which makes you feel as though you’re on an island somewhere.   This product is also made with organic, cold-pressed Community Trade coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter which moisturizes and softens the skin.

It is extra rich and thick which may not be for any of you out there that prefer non-greasy moisturizers.  I liked how soft it made my skin, but I do tend to prefer moisturizers that hydrate and aren’t super emollient.

Overall, its a good product, and I do think that it is best used in dry climates or if you’re someone with extra dry skin that needs a rich moisturizer.  I still think the smell is amazing though.
