Ohhh, very luxurious..I use this in the winter when i want to be reminded of summer!...It doesn't always soak in all the way.
I slather this on before i go to bed, put on some flannel pj's and my skin the next morning is as soft as it ever was.
Beware, the smell is VERY strong, only get this if you like scent!

I love all products with a coconut smell,so I tried this one too.I liked the scent in the begining but after a while it smells a bit heavy and sour.It takes a whiles for skin to absorb too ,but after that skin feelf great!
After reading so many positive reviews about the Nut butter I'm gonna try that one.This is a luxurious feeling body butter great for winter but I think I just picked the wrong scent!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I know alot of people wont though because of the smell, it smells like coconut tanning oil from the drugstore, but I love that scent, I feel like im tanning in flordia when I use it. Its so moisturizing and rich and the tub is really cute, a new must have for me.

I am a coconut fan, but this body butter was definitely not one of the better coconut scents out there. It had a plastic twinge to it. PU! I also find butter a very suiting name for this product, as that is what the consistancy is like. Greasy butter. It didn't absorb well and left kind of a sticky film behond. Plus, I hate jars of lotion. Totally unsanitary in my opinion, although I do own one or two lotions like this. All in all, a below average product. It's not even cheap! It's $16 for a small tub. Next...

Mmmm, I love the scent of coconut and this smells really good! It keeps my skin super soft and hydrated and the scent lasts for a long time after I apply the lotion. The Body Butters cost $16.

A super-emollient body moisturiser, this is slow to absorb, but the softening effects last for hours and hours. Great even for flaky dry knees and elbows. The scent may prove too powerful and long-lasting for some though. A blend of coconut, vanillin and cocoa butter, it is stronger than many purpose-made scents and more persistent. It will compete with any scent you may choose to wear on top, and I haven't found any which complement it, so I fell obliged to mark it down for this reason.

It's difficult to go wrong with TBS, but I did have some problems with this. I found it took an extraordinarly long time to absorb and was quite greasy. The smell was heavenly though. When I put it on it smelled like vanilla pudding but dried down to a very sweet coconut smell, more cake like rather than reminiscent of suntan lotion. Raves from my son who adored the smell. I'll enjoy using the rest of the jar, but don't plan on repurchasing.

I love Coconut scents so of course I had to get this. It's very moisturizing but it isn't greasy. The scent it nice, it smells a little fake so if you are looking for a true coconut scent this isn't for you.

I love the scent of coconuts, so I immidiately loved this. Kinda greasy, but this would be great for the winter months.

Mmmmm! I really like this. At first it seems a little bit oily, but after afew minutes it sinks into the skin and perfectly moisturizes the driest areas of the body. And you need so little since it is so efficient Smells sooo yummy too!
I ma planning to get some more of these!

This smells great but like the others have said, a bit fake when you smell it directly from the container. It's very moisturizing and the scent lasts all day! It picks up my mood in the winter time because of the coconut smell.

Not my favorite Body Butter, but its not bad. The coconut smell is a little fake, but its great for layering under other coconut scents. Its got the same consistency as the Nut Butter- smooth, creamy, and greasy. But hey, that's why its called Body *Butter*. Overall, its not a bad product and I would probably buy it again just because I love coconut products. However, I'm sure I'll never use up the tub I have cause I don't really reach for it enough. Tip: As with the Nut Butter, use on rough spots that can use a little more moisture.

I love this product. It's just thick enough (not to thick) to get rid of the ashy look. And the scent is great.

I love the scent of this but it didn't really work that well for me. This stuff felt kinda greasy on my skin and it didn't seem to absorb well. I was just left with greasy legs,even when i used a small amount.
