The Body Shop Organic Body Butter. How good is it?

Like moisturizers and lotions, body butters are used to promote youthful skin by preventing moisture from evaporating on the surface of your skin. But the best thing about these skin care products is the use of organic ingredients. Yes! Just like moisturizers and lotions, these organic body butters form a protective barrier on the epidermis to preserve its moisture content without the artificial, sometimes potentially harmful, ingredients you can’t even pronounce. This protection is particularly much-needed in dry, winter environments because they sap away the water from your skin. Also, since body butters are made from oils extracted from nuts and seeds, they are more effective in preserving the skin’s moisture content because like what your science teacher tells you, water does not mix with oil. When body butters are spread over your skin, they lock in the water to the skin surface and prevent it from evaporating.

The Body Shop® offers such skin care products. Instead of potentially toxic chemicals, they use organically grown alternatives as their body butters’ key ingredients. These ingredients help in halting the acceleration of the skin aging process, and in protecting you from dangerous environmental factors. So just how good are they?

Two of the key ingredients in The Body Shop® Body Butters are the shea butter and cocoa butter. Shea butter, a natural source of vitamin A, E and F, is extracted from the shea tree. It is well-known as the ultimate moisturizer because of its deeply penetrating revitalizing properties used to soften and protect your skin. Cocoa butter—derived from the same cocoa beans that bring us chocolates—is another excellent moisturizer that decreases roughness and chapping of the skin, and protects from the damaging effects of UV rays exposure.

Pampering yourself with a rich, luxurious cream that revitalizes even those with extremely dry skin, it is a good offer you can’t refuse. The Body Shop® offers a wide range of organic body butters suitable for each skin type. If you have normal skin, try the citrus-scented Satsuma Body Butter and spring-inspired Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Butter. There are the floral-scented Moringa Body Butter and the sensual, delicate Moroccan Rose Body Butter for those with dry skin. If you are suffering from very dry skin, Coconut Body Butter and Hemp Body Butter are great choices that men also love. Even famous celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Serena Williams, Victoria and David Beckham, and Reese Witherspoon believe in the award-winning formula that The Body Shop® Body Butters have!
