Good for dry skin, maybe not the best for fragrance fanatics
The Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream is a very creamy body wash made to exacting eco friendly standards and is Fair Trade, but I had some issues with the scent. Mileage may vary on that point, but if I'm going to spend that much money on coconut body wash I'd rather go with something from Pacifica. Effectiveness There is no denying that this body wash is effective at moisturizing the skin as it cleans. It is very creamy, lathers up frothy, and does not leave any residue, just moist, clean skin. The ingredients list is non-objectionable and includes virgin organic coconut oil. Scent Here is where I have to deduct a lot of points. I am sure that the product started off with a very nice, natural coconut scent. The problem was at some point it wound up smelling like the plastic bottle. The bottle must have gotten hot in transit and leached its scent into the product. The Body Shop is careful about what goes into every part of its products, so I feel confident I didn't accidentally get a dose of BPA or anything like that. That doesn't mean I want to go around smelling like Cali Girl Barbie though.
