    I found this too heavy & thick. It didn't absorb into the skin well. And the scent wasnt delicious - which I didn't like either. I hardly used this & it's wasting away in the cupboard.

    I love the smell of this product--it's sweet, with a hint of floral. I also love the thick, lightly-greasy-yet-easily-absorbed texture (my skin doesn't feel the slightest bit moisturized), as well,...

    I've usually been a fan of TBS products, but it seems like the body butters doesn't do anything for me in the long run. I've got dry to very dry skin. (In the winter time my skin is like fish...

    If you're familiar with the TBS butters, you will know that the scent is the least of their differences; each and every one of them has a different consistency.Hence they all work...

    I have to say this butter is rich and very moisturizing. However the smell makes me want to barf, and sleeping with something that makes you barf doesn't seem like a good idea. It's really just...

    For moisturizing this product is top notch. I apply this right after my shower, and its super super thick. You have to warm it between your hands to get it creamy whereas other body butters (fruit...

    The Shea Body Butter is my favourite of all TBS's body butters. The smell is heavenly. Not too strong, but a subtle sweet almondy smell. I tried the Coconut BB as well but the smell was too...

    This butter is good for dry or very dry skin, and has a lovely sweet smell. It's very rich and moisturising.

    it does moisturize very well and has a decent smell, but it somehow made me break out in small bumps all over my legs.
