Body shop alternatives

Many years ago I loved their Stasuma body butter, and when that vanished I have their Pink Grapefruit body yoghurt and body mist. As i don't want to buy anymore of their stuff, can any one recommend a good alternative? Thanks

What are your criteria? Is it fruity scented body cream you're looking for? Is there a particular reason you don't want to buy from them?

I quite like the grapefruit, lemon and cedar body butter from conscious skincare. Their ethos seems to be based around actual skincare, which is all I ask for in a skincare shop!

Superdrug do body butters that are cheaper as a good as the BS ones

I can’t give up Body Shop as I love their stuff. So afraid I’m no use. Have you tried Lush?

I use Dirty Works body butter from Sainsbury’s or Soap & Glory.

I went into the BS today enticed by their sale which turned out to be a few quid off mostly Christmas stock Hmm It feels very tired in there. I'm not sure how they keep going with all the competition out there!

Revolution skincare have just launched a new range of fruity body cream/sprays etc I bought a watermelon one from Superdrug for DD today which she loves.

Whats wrong with the body shop?

ChickpeaCrunch · 25/08/2021 15:13

@LookdeepintotheParka yeah the one near me is also looking a bit tired. Wonder how they keep going really.

I’d love to find an alternative to their ginger shampoo ….

It's a mystery to me how The BS has lasted this long given the fact they've deviated so far away from the original Anita Roddick ethos. The quality goes nowhere high enough to match their prices and the MLM efforts make me despair ....
Alternative Body butters and similar I've enjoyed are from Love, Beauty, Planet.

L’occitane verbena is my suggestion! They have had some beautiful rhubarb and grapefruit fragrances in the past too.
