    I am shocked to see how much these body butters cost now at Body Shop. I love the smell of this Papaya one, and it moisturizers wonderfully out of the shower. However, it's EXPENSIVE! And a tub...

    TBS butters are my all time favorite HG moisturizer. I can't even count how many I have used up. I lube up at night on my feet, hands, elbows, and I am still soft after a shower in the morning. ...

    My favorite body butter ever! Not that I've tried a whole bunch, but the scent, the texture, the superior moisturizing powers, it's got it all. The only downside is the price tag, it can get...

    I'm torn on these body butters. They are kind of greasy and they don't moisturize as much as they claim. I like some of the scented ones though because they are fun to use. Papaya is one of the...

    A great winter moisterizer! It smells lovely and througly moisterizes the skin. And leaves a nice glowy finish. What more can you ask for?

    That's just another excellent body butter from The Body Shop. There's only one bad thing I can say about it. Since it is quite thick by its texture, you need to buy a new one pretty quickly. But...

    This smells wonderful. Im not so sure about its moisturizing ability though. It's also abit sticky after putting it on. I'll be sticking with the drug store brands that are much cheaper.

    I am a big fan of the TBS body butters---nut and coconut are my favorites. This butter has a very strong papaya citrusy scent with a kick to it. I find it less moisturizing that other butters in...

    Best stuff ever. Hands down. The papaya scent is to die for. So is the mango. It's just thick and creamy enough. Makes my skin feel super soft and hydrated throughout the day. Very impressed.

    Papaya is on the richer side of the body butters formulated for normal skin. I don't have a problem with it soaking in, but I use it after the shower on damp skin and I don't use very much...

    This is my favorite body butter (I've used them all!). I love how the smell is fruity, but not too overpowering. Its a rich cream, but not excessively so, which is great since my skin isn't super dry.

    This scent smells so wonderful even though to me, it smells more like grapefruit than papaya. However, I still smell the papaya too. The formula is also light and creamy. I didn't find it as greasy...

    Love this stuff. Favorite scent of all the body butters makes skin moisturized and soft. Wish it sunk in a little better like the satsuma. I will only use this one though becuase it smells the best.
