Review on The Body Shop British Rose Instant Glow Moisturizing Body Butter, 200Ml by Vishal Geske

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I personally prefer coconut scent and formula wise

I’ve used other body butters by the body shop before, and I love the formula. So although I loved coconut all around I wasn’t much a fan of the smell of Shea. So I looked at the scent here and wanted to try it out.PopI was confused upon opening because the formula is definitely different for this one (which I later learned was because it’s meant for sensitive skin). This one is definitely creamier. The texture is much more like a lotion than the other body butter scents.I also had a harder time getting this to soak into my skin (I use after shaving my legs).As for the scent, it is weaker than the others. For people with sensitive skin that’s indeed a good thing, but I personally had to let this scent grow on me.Comparing the almond honey to coconut, the formula is different. I almost would describe coconut as wax ire, but I’m unsure it’s the correct term to use here.Overall these are the differences I noticed not having sensitive skin. If you do have it, know that there is still a bit of scent in this one in case that bothers you.February 24/2021:I have repurchased with the argan scent. I took one whiff and thought "tuberose!” (I love white flowers). After some googling, I found out argan oil can smell like manure. It’s an indolic scent, aka why it reminded me of tuberose!Honestly if you don’t like indole perfumes (they can be strong and remind some of poop) you probably won’t like the argan scent, but personally I love it. It’s so sweet it’s almost a floral. 5/5 for argan!
