Coconut & Shea Butter Body Butter

I love body butters, but often I find myself splashing out £13 on ones from The Body Shop to get a good quality product, which doesn't work out too cheap when you go through them as fast as I do. So when I saw this one on offer in Superdrug for just £1.84 I figured I'd pop it in my basket in the hope that my search for a great bargain body butter had come to an end. I can’t help but compare this to The Body Shops Coconut Body Butter, and as a whole I find myself gravitating towards there version more purely because of texture - although not quite enough to spend £13 on that as opposed to under £4 on this at full price. I find that Superdrug’s Coconut & Shea body Butters thick formula sinks in quickly to my skin leaving it feeling moisturised as opposed to greasy. I’m a huge lover of the coconut scent so this is something which really appeals to me although if this isn’t to your taste I spotted online that they have a good range of scents including; Cranbrerry & Pimegante, mango & Papaya and Cocoa Butter. I also spotted that this body butter comes in a handy 50ml size which would be great if you just wanted to try it out, or even have a backup in your handbag!
Overall I feel this product is amazing value for money especially with the half price offer currently going on, Personally I’d rather have a few of these than one overpriced Body Shop Butter! Superdrug’s body butters retail at £3.69/200ml and £1.00/50ml although as mentioned before they are currently just £1.83 for a 200ml tub.

  3. I've tried most of the flavors of these pots, but, unfortunately, they don't stand next to TBS for me. The formula is very paraffinn-ey and the scent annoys me after some time of use. Body Shop butters are very overpriced in my country.
