I never really liked it (except when i was a tween and i carried all my PE gear in a green body shop bag). Like, they're all "not tested on animals" but they still use ingredients that were once tested on animals (just not tested by the body shop). It'd be far nicer if they used natural ingredients that don't need animal testing. And despite being a huge multi-national, their image of women (i.e. marketing) doesn't reflect the diversity of societies they sell in - they still project young-white-middle-class psuedo-hippy skinny-chick to me. Also, i like how skinfood has 'androgenous' packaging and says 'unisex' - so it's not pandering to any girlie shopping reflex. You know, I actually have a beef with the Body Shop.

Also, I think the feeling of being moisturised lasts longer than the bodyshop ones, but I haven't used them in a while so I can't be sure. Not all body butters are created equal, the cheaper ones are usually pants. Except for this Skinfood one.

How does it compare to the famous Body Shop body butters? or other 'body butters'. I've never tried them and wondering if all butters are this good.
