90s Body Shop products they should bring back!

I’m in a nostalgic mood.
Probably like most 90s teens I loved the Body Shop back in the day and wish they’d bring back some of my favourites which were:

Cucumber cleanser- loved the scent so much, takes me right back to summer

Passion fruit cleanser- smelt gorgeous, had a really nice texture too

Fuzzy peach & Dewberry perfume- classic first perfumes!

Also does anyone miss those fruit shaped Soaps?

What products do you wish they’d bring back?

White grape toner just for the smell. It was lovely.
Tea rose perfume.

I used to love the body shop as a kid, I haven't been in years!

Fuzzy peach perfume/oil

Those strange squidgy iridescent bath balls 😁

Roma, and Rose Musk perfume oils.

That oatmeal soap that had a lovely spicy fragrance and could make your sock drawer smell delicious almost indefinitely.

Ice Blue Shampoo

Oh yes I used to love Ice Blue Shampoo

KungFuFriday · 05/09/2022 10:45

Morello cherry lip balm.

Bannana shampoo - they had a bannana thing last time I went in but it smelt much different. Also the peach range. Like you I also remember the little fruit soaps - the apple one was best.

Sparkletastic · 05/09/2022 10:51

Yes to the squidgy bath balls!
Elderflower eye gel.
Japanese Grains cleanser (can't remember exact name)
Kiwi lip balm

FiveShelties · 05/09/2022 10:53

I loved the Dewberry perfume and the fruity shower gels -- Orange? and Strawberry?

Bluebellberry · 05/09/2022 10:59

I was always so disappointed when the brand was sold and they seemed change to be more “mature” and expensive.
It lost its unique charm. I’m still living in hope of a 90s revival!

Not just body shop - boots natural collection and the boots global collection - wish they would bring them both back

PolarPolly27 · 05/09/2022 11:04

Elderflower eye gel and kiwi fruit lip balm

GetOffTheRoof · 05/09/2022 11:05

Nooooo, Fuzzy Peach and especially Dewberry smelled awful!!

The Mandarin shampoo was amazing though.

Vampirethriller · 05/09/2022 11:06

Ananya and Oceania (might be spelt wrong)
Seaweed soap
Unscented products and the big bottles of perfume they used to put in for you

And Natural Collection everything, it used to be so good. Jasmine and Nutmeg body spray!

Ed1n · 05/09/2022 11:06

Ananya I think it was. Smelt amazing , I’d love to smell it again

Vampirethriller · 05/09/2022 11:08

They used to do a gardenia bath milk as well. It was beautiful.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 05/09/2022 11:11

There was a sage and comfrey blemish gel in the 80s that was sooooo good for dealing with spots without drying out the skin. It saved my spotty teenage face regularly. None of the later iterations have been so effective and gentle.
There was also a peel-off vitamin C mask in the late 90s/early 00s that was the most smoothing thing for my skin. I was so upset when that was discontinued.

Plantstrees · 05/09/2022 11:19

Their henna shampoo - it was very subtle but did boost my mousy coloured hair with some lovely highlights.

MermaidMeemaw · 05/09/2022 11:20

Not the 90’s, but I loved Smoky Poppy 2015. Smelt like a subtle version of the original opium fragrance.
From the 90’s I remember a shower gel called ice cream bubbles or something like that.

Gingernaut · 05/09/2022 11:25

They had a circular or semi-circular perfume oil bar, where glass sticks were used to drop testers onto your wrist.

I loved Japanese Musk and a scent called Samarkand

They got rid of the oil bar and briefly used Samarkand for a range of gents' toiletries.

The original banana conditioner with banana pulp in, not the more recent banana scented one. Raspberry ripple body wash. Kiwi lip balm. The perfume oil bar. I'm sure that would be popular if they brought it back. I liked the lemon one.

SecretVictoria · 05/09/2022 11:31

Another shout for Fuzzy Peach and Dewberry! They also did a peach face scrub which was lovely. I hate what they are now.

A580Hojas · 05/09/2022 11:33

Their herb bath and shower gel was gorgeous.
