THE BODY SHOP – SHEA BODY BUTTER [PRODUCT REVIEW]

HELLO FRIENDS!🙏

Today in my second blog, I am going to review a body butter from the brand “The Body Shop”. For an obscure reason my skin has turned out to be incredibly dry this winter😞, which is the reason I purchased or spent a considerable amount of cash on saturating my body. Even though I altogether accuse my growing up for a wide range of issues in my body. I truly abhor, despised and will always be loathing growing up😑 and I trust there are many of you like me out there.

Now, the brand “The Body Shop” is a British skin care organization formed in the year 1976 (i.e., virtually 41 years old). This company is now a subsidiary of the famous French cosmetics brand L'Oréal trailing the trade takeover in the year 2006. The Body shop offers extended products for hair, face and body. This brand asserts that their items are against remorselessness on creatures and are enlivened by nature. You can read more details about the brand here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body_Shop

I was in search for a good body moisturizer with the landing of winter for the conspicuous reason relating to my skin getting constantly drier. Then I came across the Fabindia body milk – mogra and mint about which I mentioned in my earlier blog. Please read the details here: http://mypersonalizeviews.blogspot.in/2017/01/fabindia-body-milk-mogra-and-mint.html

The day I bought the Fabindia body milk that day I went to meet with my sweetest friend Molu (her good name is Sneha yet I adore calling her Molu and she has been my childhood best friend, have always encouraged me! I 💗 you Molu…. I keep telling her this because I really do. We caught up after our exams just to chill that day). We were just lingering in Acropolis mall and we chose to visit The Body Shop showroom in that very mall. Presently, Molu too is having an uncommon dry skin issue and she is the person who got inspired by the body spreads accessible at The Body Shop showroom. So, after the Fabindia body milk neglected to saturate my body for extended periods of time, I chose to spend some additional money and to go for The Body Shop body butters after reading some good reviews on The Body Shop body butters online.

Days later I went to the same The Body Shop India showroom and told the individual who was then demonstrating to me their items that I required a decent body spread for my skin. At that point that individual proposed that I may go for the Shea body butter, which is one of their top of the line body butter, but me being very me went on and urged him to demonstrate to me their different variations of body butter. Therefore, he showed me their coco body butter and the hemp (one thing I would like to mention I did not like that person😠, I observed him to be impolite and he was acting to be extremely occupied yet all he was doing was grabbing occasionally scattered things, although I truly preferred the woman there). As indicated by that person, the cocoa body butter is not as moisturizing as Shea butter one, but rather that is likewise a decent one and the hemp, which smells awful (I did not like the smell by any stretch of the imagination!) is the most hydrating one. Finally, I decided to grab the Shea body butter.

Shea body butter of The Body Shop India is awesome and I can tell this after using for 3 weeks now. I simply love this body butter. What you get is a light peach color container stuffed body butter containing 200ml/6.75 OZ/ 192 gm of Shea body butter, with a The Body Shop sticker onto it (pardon me! I am awful at depicting hues). Inside the container, you can see smooth white thick body butter emitting a nutty scent.

Packaging/Bundling – thick container packed, I came across many individuals stating that it would have been exceptional if it had a tube bundling. I personally preferred the bundling although I will not contradict that a tube bundling would not be better. In any case, the consistency of the item being thick and buttery texture, I think I am upbeat the way it got bundled.

Product – I adore it! It is exceptionally hydrating. It sorts of finished my look for a decent body cream. Consistency wise it is very thick. The retailer told me that it gives you 24-hour hydration (likewise mentioned on one side of the container) to which I can say partially Yes! Partially because if you are being continuously out of your home, you may wish to reapply it after 12-14 hours. On the very first day, I applied it after bathing on my body and I did not feel the need of applying till I came out of the shower the following day. As I mentioned in my earlier blog, my knuckles are super dry, I reapply onto them 2-3 times a day. It is immaculate to apply it after taking shower or before going to bed. The Shea fragrance lingers on my body for decent hours and the joyful part, this product is not giving me any sort of rashes post application😍. It has a shelf life of 28 months.

Pricing – now here comes the most crucial part. It retails for Rs.1095 for 200 ml product, which is expensive! The pocket pinch for this body butter is on the higher side yet all I can say it is an incentive for money and you get The Body Shop India branding. When I visited their showroom, there was an up to 50% sale going on some selected items, but this body butter was excluded from the offer😞. Although, if you possess a membership card of The Body Shop India you get a 10% discount on this item. New enrollment, however will cost you Rs.500 that accompanies included advantages, which you can avail throughout the year in all The Body Shop showrooms.

I did not discover anything terrible pertaining to this product except the price, which is a bit on the higher side, nevertheless though you get value for money. However, this being ultra moisturizing is not ideal for summer.
