Body Shop discontinued items: woe!

Total horror here as we have found out the the Body Shop has discontinued its mineral and ginger warming clay mask product. We are utterly bereft. It was a fantastic product and also unique.

Does anyone know of any other products that have that all-important warming factor, please? (The other Body Shop masks don't cut it.)

I'm sad that the wonky carrot moisturiser has gone south, too. If anyone from the shop is reading this, please take it as a pleas for help!

Sorry to hear that @NutCutlet101 , I have a permanent low level fear of them discontinuing

HettieHelvetica · 19/11/2022 17:08

my favourite chamomile cleaning butter.

Shea oil was gorgeous! I miss it, you have my empathy.

NutCutlet101 · 19/11/2022 17:32

@Icantbelieveitsnotnutter -- argan oil is very nice (though BS don't do this) could be a substitute for shea oil, perhaps?

Re the warming mask, I have seen tubes on it on eBay for about £16!

I am gratified to hear that there are other sufferers out there!

Sanctuary do a charcoal warming mask which I always liked, although I haven't had it for ages. It's often on 3 for 2 at Boots (or it used to be) and I think I last bought it on Amazon so hopefully it's still fairly available Smile

Oh no this is bad. My teenage son loves this too!

NutCutlet101 · 19/11/2022 18:02

Thank you, @SocksAndTheCity. It's off to Boots I go. The situation re the discontinued items feels especially galling as I like to use Body Shop's various offers to stock up. Bah!

I’ve been paying more than double on eBay for discontinued make up. I can’t face trying to find something new. Used it for 20 years!

I used to be a manager at TBS until very recently. Pretty much every store I worked in has boxes of this in the stockroom as it’s not been displayed for ages! I also love this product.
I would recommend asking staff if they’ve got any in the stockroom or go to an outlet store if you have one nearby!

If you can find yourself a The Body Shop At Home agent, they may be able to do swopsies among their network to get the product you want.

NutCutlet101 · 19/11/2022 18:14

Thank you, @Ramsd and @MammaWeasel. A light of hope flickers.

I used to love TBS, but since their last product rebrand its not very good.

Hohofortherobbers · 19/11/2022 20:25

Used to love their glycerin and oat fash wash, discontinued many years ago, still not forgotten

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/11/2022 20:51

I used to use a self heating clay mask years ago you've just reminded me , but I cannot for the life of me remember what brand . I know it had to go on damp skin to activate the heat .

My hissyfit at BodyShop:

Absinthe hand wash I used as a showergel . loved it
Passionfruit showergel ( was this Summer limited edition)
Cool Daisy (last year but they brought it back)
The lipstick I got married in , a perfect CloverPink shade

And not BodyShop but M&S Formula Radience Peel (aka Face Footner) they really need to bring it back
Stamps foot

I used to love the passion fruit facial wash, and the kiwi lip balm

I used to love the passion fruit facial wash, and the kiwi lip balm

Passionfruit facewash was lovely and the passionfruit showergel was the same lovely smell , but for body Grin.
I should have bought more .

BS outlet store is a good start

iamme21 · 19/11/2022 21:05

Drops of youth range has been discontinued, managed to get 4 of the foaming face wash in an outlet store.

AlwaysGinPlease · 19/11/2022 21:16

I used to use the Fresh Nude foundation in 030 Sahara light. The new version of that is Medium 2N apparently. Please does anyone know if it's still the same "recipe" and is it still as good?

thenewduchessoflapland · 19/11/2022 21:52

Don't shoot the messenger here as I know people don't like anything they perceive to be related to MLM here but if I was a TBSAH consultant I could tell you that we can use our network to secure discontinued items;I may or may not do stalls at events and have drops of youth and Passionfruit products in my stock boxes so yes we could find those too;yes the new foundation is absolutely fine and you should give it a go and if you loved the kiwi lip balm then there's a new product called a lip swipe that comes in kiwi.

It's been years but I'm still not over them discontinuing they Brazil nut body butter.

NeedWineNow · 20/11/2022 10:24

HettieHelvetica · 19/11/2022 17:08

my favourite chamomile cleaning butter.

@HettieHelvetica They had that in my local Body Shop last week - I bought the little one to try. Or do you mean they've changed the formula?

I had forgotten that! It was deliciously thick as well. Boots did a nice Natural Collection version as well but that too has been discontinued 😐

Purpleandvelvet · 20/11/2022 13:08

@iamme21 I think the Drops of Youth range has just changed it's name to Edelweiss

Quinque · 20/11/2022 13:43

Mango soap. Nice soap, lovely smell and usually on a 3 for 2 offer.
Now they sell cleansing bars instead and none are mango. 😕

Jasmine night perfume. I loved it for a Daytime scent
