I'm driving myself mad but I know I didn't imagine it. Googling over the years throws up nothing

What I remember .::

It was from Boots

It was in collaboration with maybe the World Wildlife Fund as I'm sure there was a panda on the bottle!

It was a pale pink lotion and there were other bits and pieces in the range

It will have been around the early 90s

Any ideas at all?!

Was it peppermint?

I can only think of Johnson's baby lotion in a pink bottle.

It's not this, is it?

It wasn't Natural Collection was it? They did a pink Strawberries and Cream lotion. Could you be mixing up Boots and Body Shop, which had WWF style branding in the 90s?

SeasonsGreetingsBatFace · 10/12/2024 07:21

@steff13 that's current isn't it? This is from the early 90s

@KeepYaHeadUp I'm not mixing up the two but it could have been strawberries and cream perhaps but I'd have to see the bottle! I don't 'think' it was sadly

@frenchfancy81 possibly yes but don't think so. I wouldn't totally rule it out

Was it definitely Boots? I remember having a similar bottle and a load of animal shaped soaps from the body shop which sound similar.

Sinkintotheswamp · 10/12/2024 08:18

I'm thinking that was a Body shop range.

Sinkintotheswamp · 10/12/2024 08:22

The box of animal soaps 😍.

Oh wow that's taken me back! Big dose of nostalgia right there!

SeasonsGreetingsBatFace · 10/12/2024 09:23

It wasn't the body shop - I worked there back in 1990 so very familiar with their products!

It was definitely Boots. I can clearly see myself in there buying loads of this stuff!

It was definitely in connection with what I'm sure was the WWF.

The panda wasn't cutesy or cartoonish but it also wasn't a photo of one either

Although that could be the confusion n how I think of it! Was it a panda? That I could be mixing up.

It was definitely Boots and definitely a range in collaboration with another company

You had Boots Natural Collection which was a sort of Body Shop knock off. But I don't specifically remember a panda.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 10/12/2024 09:57

Was it like this?

My thoughts go to the Natural Collection. I had jars of body cream that were sort of swirled into the pot like icing, mostly white but with coloured bits swirled in.

Loved the Sunflower one and Daisy Chain (plus matching shower gel)

forgivingfiggy · 10/12/2024 10:15

Boots briefly did a Global Collection in 1994ish. Could it have been from that? I had the Turkish Delight lip balm.

alpenguin · 10/12/2024 10:27

I was thinking recently about boots natural collection body sprays after getting a dove deodorant that smelled similar. I had been telling my daughter how lovely they smelled but they reacted with sweat and ultimately stained your beautiful white fitted crop tops brown at the pits 😭

one was strawberry and cream but I can’t remember what the others were. Mango maybe?

Drivingoverlemons · 10/12/2024 10:33

I also remember a WWF branded one at Boots. Might have been strawberries and cream. Defo had a panda.

SeasonsGreetingsBatFace · 10/12/2024 12:08

It wasn't natural collection , alas

@Drivingoverlemons ooh positive!

Id know the smell anywhere if I smelt it again and I'd know the bottle if I saw it again
