Reviews

Not a huge fan of this.

"I felt like I’ve been cheated by the cream. I’m not really sure why they changed the formula. This new formula is not as thick, very watery & doesn’t hydrate the skin as previously. I have dry skin condition and I have used this body shop cream for the last 14 years and I can’t use anything else on my body so this is really disappointing. I really hope they bring back the old formula or at least sell the other old one."

— TEMI A. (2/5)

New ones are terrible

"The old ones are the best. The new ones seems more like diluted and cheap. Does not last like previous 72hrs. Who ever made this decision to change things. Is utterly ridiculous and stupid. I was using body shop body butter for the last 9-10years now. At least two tabs a month. Now I will not use again."

New Shea Body Butter

"I have used Bodyshop Body Butter for years now and really liked it... I use Shea as I do not like perfumed body butter. I realises that the packaging had changed when i was buying the last 3 tins however did not realise the change in consistency until I opened. I find it too sloppy and soft and I am sure i will use much more. Not sure if I will continue to use it ...."

— MARGARET M. (3/5)

Very disappointed in new Shea Body Butter

"The new formula doesn't work. It's greasy and unpleasant to the touch. Now like inferior body butters on the market but costs twice as much. I don't understand why Body Shop keep changing things that work! I've been a customer for 30 years but running out of products I'm willing to buy from you."

— TERESA F. (1/5)

The consistency is still too

"The consistency is still too thick and heavy to spread on skin easily. The original body butter had the consistency of sour cream and I used it for years. I won’t buy this one again."

— Irene P. (5/5)

Very nourishing and moisturizing

"I absolutely love the scent of this body butter. It keeps my skin very nourished and moisturized. Also, it instantly provides long-lasting hydration. It does not feel heavy or greasy at all. I love using this especially after shower. My skin feels so soft and smooth."

— Saman (5/5)

New formula is great

"The new formula is much better- super smooth and it absorbs well. It is thick in consistency but melts easily. The scent is light and not overpowering or sweet. This is the best body butter they have!"

— Gail C. (5/5)

Very moisturizing, but too much

"Very moisturizing, but too much chemical smells. I work in health care and cannot wear it at all. We are not allowed scented products. I wish body shop would make some unscented products but they seem to behind the times."

— Kathy H. (2/5)

Shea body butter

"Lovely product. A little goes a long way. Absorbs well. Great on rough skin. Smells nice. Good value"

— rosemary f. (4/5)

Disappointing change

"I have been buying the Shea butter for years, and have specifically chosen the shea butter because it was the only body cream in your line that was actually thick and mosturised, and didn't just smell nice. Now the formula has changed to be exactly like the others-it's thinner and more creamy. This is very disappointing but I thought I would use it for over a week before reviewing. Unfortunately it was exactly as I suspected. Because you have changed the formula to prioritise being thinner over actually nourishing and moisturising, this body butter no longer heals dry cracked skin on my heels, or removes the dry skin from elbows. It simply smells nice and sits on top of the skin, instead of actually doing its job and sinking into the body to moisturise/smooth skin, leading to properly nourished and improved skin. My skin is now worse again so I won't be buying this product unless you change back to your original formula. I really hope you at least offer the original formula somewhere, even if you wanted to continue selling this thinner and less useful version."
