Coconut is one of the most popular scents of body butters, and it's definitely my favourite.
"Our Community Fair Trade virgin organic coconut oil comes from coconuts that are organically grown in Samoa. The nuts are gathered, selected and cracked by hand, and the flesh is cold-pressed. Our trade with Women in Business Development Inc supports several community projects, such as teaching local farmers new skills".
A 200ml tub can last for months and months, and you don't have to ration it! Use a generous amount, after a shower or bath is best, and rub it into the skin. It has a lovely tropical scent, it's not too sweet and smells like real coconuts. The smell does linger on the skin for a while after, which can be a bit of a love/hate thing, i personally love it. I bought my tub over a year ago and there's still plenty left!
The body butters are great for normal to dry skin, although i can't see why oily skinned ladies (or gents) can't use it. It provides 24 hour hydration and makes your skin baby soft. Because of this it works great as an after-sun, or even if you want to maintain your tan.
I loved it so much i bought the 50ml tub for travelling, which is £5. I also recently purchased the coconut lip butter, which is £4. It's a more sweet smell and it just reminds me of holidays! I get really dry lips in the winter and this lip butter is so hydrating, and it leaves my lips feeling hydrated and soft.
The coconut body/lip butters are my holy grail products when it comes to hydrating my skin, they sink in nicely and give moisture for hours. Despite the slightly steep price tag, there isn't anything bad i can say about these products.
