I looooove this smell!! I can't get over it. Not in a million years did I ever think I'd like the smell of Shea but this line from The Body Shop is just amazing. I've never even been a fan of The Body Shop but this past Christmas my brother bought me three sets (coconut, chocolate almond and strawberry) and my mum this Shea set. Well lucky me, my mum isn't too into body products so she let me have her set and I'm so glad she did cause this Shea set is my favorite. The scent is sweet but not too sweet... It's creamy and.. I really don't know how to describe it but it doesn't smell like real 100% Shea butter (which I don't like the smell of anyways). Anyways, this scent and product have made be a Body Shop fan and I'm definitely going to be repurchasing this line. The body wash lathers well and the scent lingers on the skin for a few hours, which I love. The only gripe I have is that the bottle is hard and doesn't squeeze as well as I'd like. Other than that, I love, love, love this product.

This smells delicious like the whole shea range. It's so creamy and luxurious on the skin. A bit expensive for the amount of product, but still worth a try, especially if you're looking for a gentle cleanser to use in the shower.

I received this as a gift at Christmas. This is more expensive than I would pay for a shower cream but it is lovely. My skin feels really soft after I have used it and extra soft when I use the body lotion after.

Since I love the mild smell of shea, I love this product. I use it in winter to moisturize my dry skin.

I do like the scent, but I absolutely love the feeling on skin when being in the shower and also the feeling left behind after the shower! The skin feels super soft, smells nicely and is hydrated, so that in my case no further moisturizer is needed. The bottle lasted me for a long time.

Love the scent of this but don't love the way it feels on my skin. It does moisturize but I never feel 100% clean after I rinse off with this. It doesn't lather up for me either, it's almost like I grabbed a lotion and tried to wash my body with it. The scent smells kind of nutty in a way, almost masculine ~ divine! I use this as a shaving lotion instead - I won't buy this again.

This is a nice moisturizing body wash, it did not leave my skin dry at all. The smell is pleasant, but I want to try some of the other body washes from The Body Shop too, because there are some that smell even better.

This stuff really surprised me. I have very sensitive and dry body skin. Usually after showering i have red patches on my skin which are itchy and obviously not attractive. Also, bodylotion is a MUST for me when i get out of the shower or my skin feels tight all day.
This stuff amazed me because 1. no red patches!!! (maybe i'm allergic to soap? this stuff is soapfree... heck, no red patches, that's what matters!) and 2. this is one of the least stripping shower products i have ever used. My skin still feels better if i apply some body lotion after but i don't feel uncomfortable in my skin if i happen to skip it. For me, that's simply amazing!

My only let downs are the scent, but I'll put up with it because it doesn't linger on the skin after, and the packaging. Like mentioned in other reviews the packaging is very hard and not "squeezable". My solution to that is i just take off the cap completely while showering and then i can pour it out quite easily. A last letdown is that i need a little bit more product to wash my entire body with compared to other shower creams.

Overall i will definetely repurchase and i can highly recommend this to people who have dry, sensitive skin and people who are looking for a soap-free shower cream. this isn't the cheapest shower cream out there but price-quality i'm loving it.

What it claims: A rich and creamy body wash that lathers up in the bath or shower to leave your skin feeling clean, soft and subtly scented.

My thoughts: This body wash is great for the winter. It really does provide a lot of moisture, which I did not expect for a shower gel/cream. The scent is very subtle, a warm smell, it does not linger on your skin afterwards. The cream lathers up very nicely on a loofah or washcloth (not so great with exfoliating gloves), withoutgiving off that 'soapy' feeling.

My only two gripes with this product is the bottle and the price. Perhaps I got an unusual bottle, but I found the plastic to be very stiff, not "squeezable" at all. This makes getting the product out towards the end quite a challenge. Also, paying 13$ CAD for a 250ml bottle of shower gel is extravagant for me (I received it as a gift originally), especially as I feel this could be easily duped in the drugstore.

If the price were more reasonable I would certainly purchase again, perhaps if it ever goes on sail. But a very nice shower cream indeed.

I completely agree with the other reviewer. I love this shower cream. The smells is fantastic and it makes my legs so soft and smooth. My legs are no longer itchy since using this product.

Smells great and soften skin too. Really love the smell and the texture. Can last for long time for a 250ml bottle. A BIG FAV shower cream!
