BODY BUTTER BUYING GUIDE
Looking for something that’ll love and nourish your skin like never before? You’ve come to the right place. No matter your skin type – sensitive or ultra-dry – our Body Butters have got your back (and your arms and legs). Read our guide to finding the best Body Butter for your skin type and get ready to seriously love yourself.
WHAT IS A BODY BUTTER?
Body Butters are rich, creamy concoctions that can be slathered onto skin as sparingly or as generously as you like. They help nourish, smooth and soften your skin from top to toe.
Our very first Body Butter was launched in 1992 after The Body Shop Founder, Dame Anita Roddick, discovered how the women in Ghana have used shea butter to nourish dry skin for generations. Since then, we’ve enriched every tub of Body Butter with this legendary ingredient.
Our new Body Butters are now made with 95% natural origin ingredients (sometimes even more!) and deliver 96 hours of nourishing moisture, making them the ultimate treat for when your skin needs that extra bit of love. And since we’re all about rich, buttery feels over here, your skin will never be left feeling greasy or sticky. Just ready-to-slip-into-silk-pajamas kind of smooth.
“Our Body Butters have been around for nearly 30 years. That’s 30 years of helping you nourish and connect with every inch of that beautiful body. Now, they're better than ever. Just grab a tub and go love your body like never before.”
