The Body Shop Body Butter Shea 200 ml — 96hr Nourishing Moisturiser, Vegan, Non-Greasy

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter is an intensely creamy, vegan moisturiser that nourishes very dry skin for up to 96 hours while leaving a natural-looking glow.

Reformulated with 97% ingredients of natural origin, this 200 ml tub combines Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana and babassu oil from Brazil to deliver deep, long-lasting hydration without a sticky finish. Packaged with sustainability in mind — an aluminium lid and a tub made from 100% recycled plastic (including Community Fair Trade recycled plastic from India) — it pairs effective skin nourishment with reduced environmental impact. Use it sparingly on problem spots or generously after a bath for a comforting, softening ritual.

How does this body butter hydrate for 96 hours?

The formula relies on rich, high-fat botanical butters and oils that form a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and reducing water loss. Its creamy texture spreads easily to deliver concentrated nourishment to dry areas without feeling greasy.

• Handcrafted Community Fair Trade shea butter for lasting emollient protection
• Babassu oil to help condition and soften skin
• High percentage of natural-origin ingredients (97%) for gentle care
• Non-greasy finish suitable for everyday use

Will it feel heavy or leave a residue on skin?

Despite its rich appearance, the Body Butter is formulated to absorb without an oily film, so clothes and hands stay comfortable after application. You can apply a small amount to dry patches or a larger scoop for full-body smoothing and a soft sheen.

• Non-sticky, non-greasy texture that blends readily
• Use sparingly on elbows, knees and heels or liberally all over
• Leaves a subtle natural glow rather than shine

What ethical and environmental sourcing does The Body Shop use?

The Body Shop sources key ingredients through Community Fair Trade programmes, supporting artisans and communities while ensuring ingredient traceability. Packaging choices aim to minimise waste, with recycled plastics and a recyclable aluminium lid helping reduce environmental footprint.

• Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana
• Community Fair Trade babassu oil from Brazil
• Tub made with 100% recycled plastic, including Community Fair Trade recycled plastic
• Aluminium lid for recyclability

How should I use this to get the best results?

Apply right after showering while skin is slightly damp to seal in moisture, or use at night on very dry areas for deeper repair. Regular use helps maintain softness and reduces the rough texture commonly found on elbows, knees and heels.

• Warm a small amount in palms before massaging into skin
• Target dry spots daily; use all over body as needed
• Pair with gentle exfoliation once a week for smoother results

Who is this for? The Body Shop Shea Body Butter is designed for people with very dry skin who want an effective, ethical moisturiser that balances intense nourishment with a non-greasy feel. Ideal for those seeking vegan, cruelty-free skincare made largely from natural-origin ingredients and packaged with recycled materials. If your skin needs dependable hydration and you value sourced ingredients and recyclability, this body butter is a practical, everyday choice.
