The Body Shop Olive Body Butter for Very Dry Skin — 6.75 oz, Intense Hydration & 96% Natural Origins

This deeply nourishing body butter combines Community Fair Trade olive oil with shea and babassu butters to deliver long-lasting moisture and a fresh, green scent. The thick, whipped texture glides on smoothly to soften and comfort parched skin while the recyclable tub and aluminium lid reflect The Body Shop’s commitment to ethical sourcing and reduced environmental impact.

How does this body butter hydrate very dry skin?

The formula is crafted to sit on the skin’s surface and help lock in hydration for extended comfort. High-fat butters create an occlusive layer that reduces moisture loss, while olive oil provides emollient properties to smooth and soften the skin’s appearance.

• Rich shea and babassu butters for deep conditioning
• Olive oil adds emollience and a natural, green fragrance
• Thick, whipped texture spreads easily and absorbs without stickiness

What ingredients support ethical and natural sourcing?

Most of the formula—96%—comes from natural origin ingredients. Key raw materials are supplied through Community Fair Trade programs, supporting small-scale producers and responsible sourcing practices.

• Community Fair Trade olive oil sourced from Italy
• Handcrafted shea butter from Ghana
• Babassu oil sourced via fair-trade partners in Brazil

How long does the moisturization last and how should I apply it?

Designed for prolonged comfort, this body butter offers extended relief for dry skin when used regularly. Apply after bathing or before bed to warm, slightly damp skin so the product seals in existing moisture and conditions the skin surface.

• Apply a generous amount to arms, legs and body areas prone to dryness
• Use on damp skin to maximize moisture retention
• Reapply to elbows, knees and hands as needed for extra care

Is the packaging eco-friendly and what are The Body Shop’s ethical commitments?

The tub is made from 100% recycled plastic and the lid uses aluminium, reflecting efforts to reduce new plastic use and improve recyclability. The brand also maintains policies against animal testing and offers vegetarian formulations.

• 100% recycled plastic tub with Community Fair Trade recycled content
• Aluminium lid for improved recyclability
• 100% Vegetarian Beauty and Forever Against Animal Testing

Who is this for: The Body Shop Olive Body Butter is suited for anyone with very dry, flaky or thirsty skin who wants a plant-forward, ethically sourced moisturizer with a comforting, green-olive scent.
