This was supposed to be a review of something else but I thought I wouldn't start 2018 on a bad review so instead I'm going to tell you about the Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter from The Body Shop. Ideally I wouldn't review any product with the word 'Sumptuous' in the title but needs must.I received this as part of a goodie bag from a Body Shop event with Alessandra Steinherr about 7 months ago. I wouldn't have chosen it for myself, Camomile in any form (especially tea) does nothing for me and though I do love a balm cleanser, this sat unlooked at in my skincare stash for quite a while. In fact it was only when I had a post-baby sensitivity flair-up (again!) that I thought I would give this a go. And I'm glad I did.
I really like that it comes in a tin, slightly annoying to put the lid on if you've got the cleanser on your hands but yay for no plastic and doesn't take up a lot of room in your washbag if you are travelling. Not sure how well this would do if it got really hot though - could leak.
This butter gets your make-up off, doesn't dry out your skin, can be used as a make-up removing first cleanse or a skin soothing second cleanse. It smells nice, the camomile is fair trade and from Norfolk which is an added bonus and the price is an incredibly ok £10. You don't need to use too much of this so a tin should last you a little while - for balm cleanser lovers this is a very good budget version.
Who's it for? Anyone looking for an affordable, good, all-rounder balm cleanser, no plastic packaging and from a cruelty-free brand. A good choice for those who travel as long as you're not going somewhere it's going to melt but it's lightweight and under the 100ml carry-on allowance.
This is a definite re-buy for me - not a rush-immidiately-to-the-shop re-buy but it definitely has place in my skincare cupboard. I have some slightly uncharitable feelings towards The Body Shop which I won't go into here and which certainly won't stop me getting this again.
