Doing product reviews in a small paragraph is awesome because it helps me get rid of products I don’t have much to say about but some do deserve a proper mention.

My Experience
I have had this product for quite a long time. Its basically coconut oil, I believe!! Or, rather believed before I got this entire ingredient list!! I thought it smells of Jasmine and coconut blended but its actually Gardenia. Apparently, Gardenia smells just like Jasmine.
Anyways, I used this a couple of months back when I found it too greasy to apply. But, in fact, it does get absorbed pretty quickly into the skin in winters and moisturize well. But, there is one issue. I don’t think it will be enough for too dry skin. One has to follow with a mositurizer.
Otherwise, its a perfect companion for winters. Now, I also used it as a hair oil. It makes the hair really soft but I don’t think I really saw any better shine. But, yes, it is expensive enough to discourage you to use it as a regular hair oil 😀 But, yup, one of the good buys from TBS.
Have you used the product? How do you like it?
Other products from The Body Shop:
hey i have the cocoa butter oil, which i use as serum on my hair ends and to moisturise my elbows and knees. applying it anywhere else would be too greasy. besides i think that these oil may contain some mineral oils that may block pores and create trouble for acne prone skin.
no TBS doesn’t use mineral oils and cocoa butter oil doesn’t have mineral oil but yes it is very greasy!!!
i will try this range when tbs has its sale..
sure do..this range definitely looks nice 🙂
