My beauty staple!
Date:May 31, 2011
I love Body Shop's Monoi smell - the hydration balm is freaking fantastic and this oil is just as amazing!
I read about this product I think in Cosmo magazine years ago - something about applying to the ends of your hair at night, then washing your hair in the morning. I had to try it - and it works wonders for restoring moisture in my hair. It also smells so lovely, I love wearing it to bed in my hair.
Also is great as a bath oil in the bath or all over the body.
I use this product on a regular basis and stock up during sales - I have 3 in my bathroom, as this is a beauty staple!

Tasty Orangey smell, but sticky
Date:May 31, 2011
I purchased this as my partner liked the smell - and it has a good smell. Orangey and quite sweet.
However, I might be crazy, but I found this body butter to feel kinda sticky during the day, thus I don't use it.
I much prefer the Monoi balm and the Hemp line. However, my boyfriend was very happy to have my Satsuma body butter (lol).

Very cooling, but runny
Date:May 31, 2011
Mmmm peppermint! I tried this lotion on a whim, purchasing the 125ml just to try.
The peppermint smells nice, not an eye burning scent, a bit on the milky side.
This stuff is great to apply just before bed, or after a long day at work. It really does have a cooling effect from the peppermint and menthol. Really nice to use on sore legs after a workout!
The formula is very runny though and just pours out the bottle (surprising you if you aren't prepared)
I found I wasted the majority of the bottle (and how I found it's great on legs is using the leftover on them!). It moisturizes so-so, but Body Shop's Hemp line does much better.

Mmmmm Lemon! <3
Date:May 31, 2011
I'm on a lemon kick and this Sweet Lemon Whip Body Lotion completed that craving.
The scent is amazing, lemony (obviously) and a tad sweet - almost better than a lemon meringue pie. Not a tarty sour or lemon chemical cleaner smell at all!
When it was released I had to check it out, but didn't buy it. Months later the lotion is still on my mind and I purchased it.

I love this lotion for my arms and hands or just after getting out of the shower in the morning as the lotion has this great fresh scent. I find the whip body lotion has a more pronounced and nicer smell than the body butter.
However, it's lotiony effect doesn't stay long nor does the scent. I like to keep this lotion by my computer and apply it when I crave to smell lemons. For more moisturizing, I'd go to Body Shop's hemp line.

Smells amazing!
Date:May 31, 2011
I love the smell of this stuff! And out of all the Monoi scented stuff out there, Body Shop's Spa Wisdom Polynesia Monoi Balm is the absolute best smelling and performing!
It moisturizes well and my skin feels great for hours as it's smooth - and the beautiful smell remains on my skin.
It applys like a body butter with it's thick consistency.
For value, it is on the expensive side verses Body Shop's body butter line, but I like this one over all as it out performs the body butters in moisturizing and smell. With that said, I mostly use this product on special occasions or when I want to pamper myself.

Your hands stay moisturized all day!
Date:May 31, 2011
The Hemp Hand Protector's best quality is that it wears well during the day as it stays on despite washing your hands, so your hands stay moisturized all day.
For the amount of moisturizing it doesn't compare to the amazing Hemp Moisture High Balm, but it does the job well by staying on your hands vs other lotions - so it is awesome for during the day. I keep mine in my purse and knitting bag. It has great value as since it wears great, you don't need to apply it all the time like other lotions.
The lotion also has a non-oily feel, which is another plus too.
The only complaint I have with this lotion is the smell. I think men (or people who like this kind of smell) would be more into it as it's an earthy herby smell that moreso is pronounced when you first apply the lotion.
For me, the smell is not very pleasing but I still use it as it does a good job, but I wish it was less scented. However, my coworkers complain at the smell every time I apply the lotion.

Very Intense Lotion!
Date:May 31, 2011
I got really dry fingers and cuticles, especially since I do my nails every couple of days. After removing my nail polish, my fingers get dried out.
This hemp moisture balm is freaking amazing and now I don't have dry fingers anymore!

Body shop staff instructed me to put this on at night, as it could come off easily vs the Hemp Hand Protector - and I agree that is the best time to put it on to get the most out of it. The first time I used it at night for 2 nights and noticed a huge change vs other lotions and products. I've also used it after my manicure has dried, as well as other dry spots like elbows and feet.
I've had it for 2 weeks now, and I don't use it as much as it has restored the moisture in my skin!

The lotion is non-oily and applies like a more wetter lip balm. Leaves a wet looking shine until it has dried. Very low smell.
If you need an intense moisturizer, you'll love this product!
