The Body Shop Mango Soap

I am slowing making my way through all of the Body Shop’s soaps. The vegetable based soap is packed mango seed and palm oils. The soap provided a generous lather and left my skin feel soft and smooth. The mango scent was a sweet and smelled like freshly cut mangoes. Is anyone else hungry?

The Body Shop Strawberry Soap

My late paternal grandfather used to grow strawberries in his backyard. Although, the strawberries weren’t very fragrant well not as much as the figs. This soap reminds me of him and his garden every time I smell this soap. The sweet scented soap is vegetable base and is packed with strawberry juice, and derivatives of palm oil and glycerin. The soap did smell like strawberries but it smell more synthetic than actual strawberries. The soap provided a generous lather and left my skin softly scented.

The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter

The freshly squeezed tangerine scented body butter is packed with fair trade shea butter. The  creamy body cream went on smoothly and absorbed quickly. The body butter wasn’t greasy and left my skin soft and smooth. The sweet scent lasted all day but it does transfer to my clothes.  While the body butter did promise 24 hour hydration but I didn’t really notice that because I was using the lotion every night and still get a bit of flaky and dry skin. I do like the body butter in general but I might try some of the other scents.

The Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Soap

I received this gingerbread shaped tin for Christmas. I am sad that my camera deleted the photos of the cute bear tin and the photos of the other stuff from the set. The cute soap has a zesty ginger scent from the ginger root extracts. The heart shaped soap had bits of exfoliation bits, which I am guessing is pieces of ginger root [Thank you, Captain Obvious].  While, the soap gave a creamy lather, the exfoliation was a bit too rough on my arms and irritated it a bit. But it work wonders for my other dry spots, like my ankles, elbows and my feet.

The Body Shop Honeymania Soap

The cute honeycomb shaped soap  with a bee imprinted in the middle is sweetly scented like honey but with a hint of floral. The soap is made with fair trade honey  that came from the nectar of over 1,000 wildflowers, yup you are basically bathing in yummy goodness [very hard not to lick the soap]. The soap provided a generous lather and left skin feel smooth, silky soft and delicately scented.
