Hemp Seed Oil
We’ve been harvesting hemp since 1998. Known for its high levels of moisturisation, it contains essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, as well as vitamins A and E. It’s also naturally resistant to pests, so farmers don’t need to use pesticides.

- Coconut Oil - lightweight hydration for normal to dry skin with a tropical scent.

What are the benefits of body butter?
Body butters deliver deep, intensive hydration, especially to areas prone to dryness like elbows, knees, and feet. Unlike lighter lotions, body butters form a protective barrier that locks in moisture for up to 72 hours. Regular use helps soften and smooth rough patches, improve skin elasticity and reduce flakiness, soothe irritation from dryness or environmental stress, and provide long-lasting fragrance throughout the day. They're especially beneficial in colder months or for very dry or dehydrated skin.
How to choose the right body butter
Finding the right body cream depends on your skin needs and texture preferences.
- Very dry skin: choose ultra-rich formulas like Shea Body Butter or Argan Body Butter.
- Sensitive skin: try fragrance-free or gentle blends such as Almond Milk Body Butter.
- Normal skin: choose light but nourishing scents like Mango, Strawberry, or Moringa.
- Prefer fast absorption? Body Yogurts offer lightweight, non-sticky hydration.
All body butters contain at least 95% natural-origin ingredients and come in fully recyclable tubs.
How to use a body butter
For best results, apply body butter to clean, dry skin using the correct method.
- After showering: pat skin dry but leave slightly damp for better absorption.
- Scoop and warm: warm the product between your hands before applying.
- Massage in: use circular motions, focusing on dry or rough areas.
- Use consistently: apply once or twice per day, especially after exfoliation or before bed for overnight repair.
For enhanced results, exfoliate with our body scrubs beforehand to remove dead skin and improve absorption.

Hemp Cream
"Cannot live without Hemp Cream, recommended initially by my, then, GP some 25 years ago when it first came onto the market. It is good for most skin conditions, particularly eczema, and now 2 nurses from my present practice have visited the Body Shop for their own supply, having seen by my use just how good if is. I use Hemp Cream all the time, as a handcream as well as on my legs and feet. Perfect!"
