The Body Shop Camomile range is said to be geared up towards calming things down, soothing, purify and hydrating and suitable for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. I'm a big fan (like many before me) of the Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil so was intrigued to have a go with The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter...
The Camomile Cleansing Butter is suitable for all skin types and includes Olive Fruit Oil and Shea Butter amongst the ingredients. It has quite a solid appearance in the tin - almost like hard candle wax or a slice of lard (anyone remember Trex?) - fortunately the resemblance ends there! It has a very delicate scent, similar to the Camomile Cleansing Oil but not as obvious and is soft and satin-like in texture with no greasiness. It's easy to scoop out and apply, you don't need a tonne and it melts easily into the skin with no pulling or dragging. I emulsify with a little water, have a bit of a massage around and remove with a muslin cloth - I'd say you definitely need some form of cloth to remove. It doesn't bring my eczema out, cause any breakouts or strip/dry my skin and leaves it feeling clean, soft and comfortable. I use every evening after removing my surface make-up with a micellar (I can feel an 'Evening Skincare Routine' post coming on!) as a sort of 'second cleanse'.
I haven't really used a cleansing balm or butter for a while, not since I finished my last pot of Emma Hardie Moringa Balm, which is lovely although pricey. I don't know if it's just me but the Camomile Cleansing Butter seems to do just as good a job, I love the texture and the results (of course) and think it definitely lives up that 'Sumptuous' claim! The tin has lasted a few months and is a great price at £13/90ml, (especially if you can get hold of one of the Body Shop's discount codes) I'll definitely be repurchasing - I may even go as far as to say I prefer the Cleansing Butter to the Cleansing Oil?! May to have to repurchase both just to cement my theory!

Despite loving The Body Shop's body and makeup products, I'm yet to try anything from their skincare ranges. Balm cleansers are a must for my dry skin and this one sounds lovely and affordable, so I'll be stopping by a store to pick it up soon! Can't wait to read your skincare routine post!

Hope you like it Alice! I'll be repurchasing soon as mine is running out! xx
DeleteI've heard a lot about the butter. I've used the oil before and liked it a lot, prefer it to the super facialist one I'm using at the moment. I'm interested in your routine, your skin is always glowing x
ReplyDeleteI'll try and do a routine post shortly Gaelle although I think my skin is fed up of all this cold weather now! xx
DeleteI haven't really used many balm cleansers but I know I should, so good for removing makeup! This is a good budget friendly one. I've eyed up the Clinique balm a few times! xx
