The Body Shop Shea Butter | Shampoo & Conditioner | Review

July 9, 2019July 29, 2020 by Bhumika

The Body Shop was in news (in beauty community) recently because of their newly launched Shea butter range. Why? Not only Shea butter is an amazing ingredient but they are sourcing it from Ghana, providing empowerment and employment to 640 women over there. Everyone around me has been loving their products and, I highly intrigued, purchased shampoo & conditioner. After using The Body Shop Shea Butter range for 2 months, I am finally sharing my thoughts on it.

The Body Shop Shea Butter

Price: Both the shampoo & conditioner retail for Rs. 645 each. The bottles are of 250 ml with a shelf life of 32 months. However, the product needs to be finished within 12 months of opening the bottle.

Availability: There are many TBS outlets all across India. You also get their products online on their website as well as on Nykaa.

If you are willing to purchase online, you can get The Body Shop Shea Butter range here.

The Body Shop Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Shampoo:

The shampoo has a runnier consistency. It is free from SLS/SLeS and smells heavenly (nutty fragrance). This doesn’t create rich lather but it lathers good enough to clean the scalp and hair. You’ll need slightly more product than a conventional shampoo though. The packaging is apt and can be conveniently used with wet hands in the shower.

The Body Shop Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Conditioner:

The conditioner is slightly runny for a conditioner but it does the job. It makes my hair soft and nourishes them. I have pretty dry ends and it keeps them nourished for a longer period of time. This too doesn’t weigh down my hair at all. I apply this on hair and not on the scalp and keep it for good 10 minutes, if not more, before rinsing. (conditioners are meant to be used that way only)

Both, the shampoo & conditioner, are free from sulphates, silicones and parabens. The main ingredient “Shea butter” is also not one of the last ingredients (thank God!). In the shampoo, it lies in the middle of the ingredient list whereas, in the conditioner, it is the very fourth ingredient. Also, The Body Shop is a cruelty-free brand.

My verdict on The Body Shop Shea Butter range:

My natural hair type is wavy and somewhat frizzy and currently smoothened. The smoothened part is fine but the new hair growth is going back to my natural texture. This doesn’t help that much with the frizz but it does make my hair soft, manageable and effectively cleanses the scalp. My scalp didn’t turn flaky or itchy, in fact, it felt balanced (neither too oily nor dry). I usually shampoo twice a week and with that frequency, the shampoo lasted me for 2 months while the conditioner is still left. Though these are pretty much justified for the price point, I really wish we got a little more quantity. I highly suggest you try this range out, at least once. I am definitely repurchasing both of these and looking forward to trying more products from this range.
