THE BODY SHOP Shea Body Butter

Rich shea body butter for very dry skin

Dense, balm-textured body butter built around Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana to comfort very dry, tight skin. The 50ml jar slips into hand luggage or a gym bag for intensive top-ups on the go.

Why Choose It?

• 96h hydration: Shea, cocoa and babassu butters layer a comforting lipid film that keeps very dry skin soft for up to four days.
• Balm-like, non-sticky: Thick scoop melts on contact, sinks in without a greasy film, and lets you dress straight after application.
• Targets rough patches: Concentrated emollients soothe flaky elbows, knees, shins and heels that lotion alone cannot rescue.
• Vegan, fair trade shea: 97% ingredients of natural origin, registered vegan, handcrafted Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana.

Best For

Very dry, tight or flaky body skin that needs more than a daily lotion. Ideal for travellers, winter routines and anyone reaching for an intensive rescue on rough patches.

Smooth on after a warm shower while skin is still slightly damp, every day or whenever skin feels tight.

• Scoop a pea-sized amount with clean fingers.
• Warm it between palms until it turns to a soft oil.
• Press over arms, legs, torso and any dry zones in slow strokes.
• Build a second layer on elbows, knees and heels for deeper relief.

Tips

• Cleanse first with a matching The Body Shop Shea body wash to prep skin before sealing in the butter.
• Carry a Shea hand cream for mid-day top-ups when the jar stays at home.
