I must confess that this body butter didn't even make it out of the store for me. After reading the reviews, I was inticed to seek it out. The scent was as promised, a delicious almond. However, the texture is thicker than thick. And when I tested it on my hand, it just sat on the surface no matter how much coaxing I gave it. It took three tissues just to wipe of the greasy, oily film. I guess you must have skin as absorbant as a sponge and as dry as the Sahara to use it. Not for me.

my girlfriend calls this "baby's butt". It smells like a baby (in a clean way). Anyway, it moisturizes the heck outta me. I adore it. Sesame is my favorite butter (I've tried mango, nut, and cocoa also) because of the scent and the consistancy. It just makes you feel so wonderful.

If I could choose one product of which to have a lifetime supply, this would be it. After moving to the northwest, my skin experienced total weather shock. I couldn't find anything that would mend my severly dry skin and stop my legs from itching! This was my savior. After about three applications, I was pretty much back to normal. I use this year-round now. Sesame is the best scent- it settles into the skin with just a hint of almond or anisse flavor.

This body butter smells like it has Almond Extract in it. That is the main reason I bought it. The texture is super thick and hard to spread on your body evenly. You really have to massage it in well. It is super hydrating. It's a real relief if you have xtremely dry skin. I slathered some on afer a shower and I am feeling a bit on the greasy side. A bit annoying but I feel that it is doing my skin some good.
UPDATE - I CHANGE MY MIND, TBS bodybutters are jus too greasy, even during the cold months. I feel gross even hours after applying. I'd rather use a lotion that soaks into my skin rather than lay on top of it. Ill never buy TBS body butters again.

This is by far my favorite body butter! I don't like the other heavy food smells. But this smells light (like cherry almond to me.) I love it! It's so moisturizing and the moisture stays till the next day! The only drawback is that these are expensive and get used up quickly. But, for the smell and the moisturizing properties, I'll buy it again!

This stuff smells great! It moisturizes SO well! I usually put it on my legs after shaving or even just when they're dry during the winter months. My only gripe is its a bit greasy for my hands-I used it the other night on them and they were shiny and oily looking and feeling-I kept trying to wipe them off. Although this could be because I've had my tub for over a year-it may be getting old. Update: these are greasy, will never buy them again.

This is one of my all-time favorite body lotions. I love how smoothly it goes on and how my skin seems to "drink it up" without leaving me feeling greasy.



This is also my favorite scent of the body butters as it's not too overpowering or obvious like some of the others are. However, I wish this were a bit cheaper because I can go through a tub in little over a month, sigh.



But price aside, this is a great product! Highly suggested!

My favorite of all TBS body butters. Incredibly smooth thick lotion that does not go on greasy at all.
