The Body Shop Does Baby Products

There's something about using baby products on adult skin. I've always been a fan of Mustela (their Hydra Spray is amazingly refreshing and soothing for my sensitive skin) and, as I've said before, Johnson & Johnson's No More Tears Shampoo is an all time fave for a gentle wash.

The Body Shop has just launched their collection for babies, Baby Buriti, and I'm loving it for me!


A word (or several...) from the company:

"According to native South American language, ‘buriti’ means ‘tree of life’. The buriti tree produces nuts rich in this unique oil, included in this range to help protect and care for precious baby skin. The mild, gentle oil is used throughout Southern America for its beneficial properties, while Brazilians are believed to add the leaves of the tree to their bath water to help soften their skin."

All I know is that the products are gentle, leave my skin soft and linger with the most mild scent (sort-off like that calming smell of a newborn). The packaging is yellow so it's unisex (as are the products) - good for boys and girls!

The Buriti products include: Body Butter, Body Lotion, Shampoo, Body Wash or Body Massage Gel. I heart the Body Butter - it's creamy, absorbs quickly and hydrates!

A few of my favorite things...

In memory of the late founder, Anita Roddick, we're going to post on our favorite The Body Shop products...


Coconut Body Butter: A delicious treat for your body! All of the body butters are divine but the coconut is our favorite... it reminds us of a tropical Island vacation!
"
An intensive, creamy all-over body moisturizer. It absorbs into the skin easily, helping to condition, soften and smooth the skin. Once you get over the indulgent tropical scent, slick this on and be transported all over again."

White Musk Sumptuous Silk Shower Gel: I used to use this back in high school - the scent helped to wake me up when not even my alarm could get me out of bed! There's something very nostalgic about this product... it's pretty close to the perfect shower gel!
"A sumptuously sensual soap-free body cleanser with a silky smooth gel texture that creates a creamy, foamy lather in the shower and leaves skin feeling cleansed, refreshed and subtly scented with the soft and velvety signature White Musk scent."

Spa Wisdom Africa Spa Salt Scrub: I think what we love most about this scrub is the fabulous jar that it comes in! Well, that and the fact that it leaves skin super soft!
"This luxurious Body Salt Scrub effectively cleanses and exfoliates the skin. Salts gently exfoliate to revitalize dull skin and refine, leaving the skin soft and smooth. Fragranced with a subtle warm floral, fruity scent."

Strawberry Born Lippy Balm: We've blogged about this lippy before (CLICK HERE), and we're still loving it! With the slightest hint of a red hue and the yummiest scent, this gloss is a daily wear!
"Give lips the strawberries and gleam treatment. With Community Trade beeswax from Zambia."

The Body Shop is a prime example of sustainable beauty - giving back to the communities that need it most. Thus, we can be beautiful while helping others. This is a magnificent concept, one I hope other companies will follow...

R.I.P.

"Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, died in a Chichester hospital on Monday after suffering a brain hemorrhage. She was 64 years old. Roddick is survived by her husband and two daughters, Samantha and Justine.

Through her successful chain of cosmetics stores, which includes more than 2,000 stores in more than 50 countries, Roddick promoted causes like banning animal testing and supporting the environment. She also helped establish the magazine The Big Issue , which is both produced and sold by the homeless, as well as Children on the Edge, a charity for children in Europe and Asia.

Anita Roddick was dedicated to creating a more peaceful and humane society. She was a dedicated feminist who truly made a difference," said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation."
