I've used Boots Extracts Body butters for years but they are discontinuing them. :-(

I think Body Shop is overpriced. Dr. Organic is just about acceptable when on offer. But can anyone recommend any others that are reasonably priced? Preferably SLS/SDS free too.

EDIT: Or any other good body moisturiser! I just like butters.

Have a good weekend peeps.x :beer:

    I love Soap and Glory, especially the lime one. Usually on 3 for 2 at Boots.

    Or you could just use a pretend body butter that doesnt exist called 'none', and it will have the same effect.

    I really like the Superdrug range. The Lotus Flower one is especially nice. I have sensitive skin and eczema and they don't upset my skin at all.

    I used to love this one, wasn't sure if you could still get it, but it would appear so.

    Another vote for Superdrug's own brand. They work out at a good price when they have them at BOGOF, still a reasonable price when it's buy one, get the second half price.
    I like the lotus & cherry blossom too

    If you have very dry skin body butters are way more moisturising than body lotion.

    Just looked at the website- currently BOGOF : 2 for £3.99- but the cocoa butter & vanilla variant out of stock-

    No it won't.
    It will have the effect of leaving your skin dry. :cool:

    You can pretty much always get Body Shop stuff at 40% off - either from the Avon ladies type arrangement or through codes online. I like their body butter but not at full price!

    I second the Palmers Cocoa Butter recommendation, although if you live in a cold house you may find it sets quite hard in the winter.

    M&S do their own brand version as well. Sorry do not use butters but noticed today when cutting through the beauty hall.

    I'm going to have to ask - what is body butter? Posh name for body lotion
    so that it's twice the price?
    Serious question as I have absolutely no idea.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
