The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter with Community Fair Trade Camomile… Fancy name, right?! The product itself might not be as fancy as other cleansing balms I have used ( and believe me, I used quite a few! I have a review on a luxury one, the Diptyque Cleansing Balm, here ) but it will amaze you with the simplicity of its ingredients, packaging and the way it works.
Before I go on with the actual review, here are a few things you should know about The Body Shop Company:
– to source some of the finest raw ingredients, they harness the skills of artisan farmers and add their own expertise which comes from years and years of research to create effective products. So there are 25 Community Fair Trade suppliers and and more to come in a near future;
– a map of The Body Shop suppliers from the four corners of the Earth.
– The Body Shop NEVER tested on animals. There is a record where the campaign fighting animal testing for cosmetics led to a ban in the UK territory, in 1998 for the company products. Their concern for cruelty free products is just as strong today;
– they are concerned about the welfare of the planet by reducing the CO2 emissions, recycling, planting trees;
– they defend human rights since 1994 when they have helped to raise funds and contributed to the global awareness of domestic violence.

The cleansing balms have been on the market for quite some time, now and I’m sure you red enough about “their technical details” – how they work and blah blah… So I’ll make it short and sweet, and tell you just a few pros and a few cons I have noticed using this product.
PROs:
– it is an 100% natural product
– it is suitable for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers
– it has a nice, relaxing floral scent which is due to the Camomile extract and leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and pampered
– it comes in a compact aluminium can which makes it easier to travel with
– it is not that expensive for a cleansing balm
CONs:
– it is waxier than the most cleansing balms I have tried
– I dislike the fact that I have to stick my fingers into the pan to take the product out and put it on my face. Most of the times I first wet my hands then reach for the balm and things get a little messy
– I absolutely have to triple cleanse; it often does not “gently and efficiently melts away makeup and impurities” as it claims, especially waterproof makeup
Overall a decent product I used and enjoyed!
See you soon, beautiful!

Thanks for the review! This product looks pretty nice, but might be too waxy for me… but I always double cleanse anyway. And your photo is super cute!

The Camomile range is looking really good from The Body Shop! This looks interesting, I’ve never used a cleansing balm so this might be a good one to start with rather than paying heaps for one! 🙂

I didn’t get on with this unfortunately. It’s quite perfumed and irritated my skin, but I loved the smell. Glad you enjoyed it 😄

Hey lovely, I’m still going through my Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm but this looks interesting, and probably more purse friendly. I’m also keen to try the Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil – all in good time I suppose 🙂 x

Hi sweetie, the Cilnique cleansing balm is a bit better than the TBS one, I think… less waxy and has no particular scent which was a plus for me… but give TBS one a go too! 🙂 xx

hi Nikki! TBS has some amazing products! some do not work for me though. Take the body products everyone raves about: shower gels, body butters in contact with the PH of my skin they smell disgusting! at least I think so! but their cosmetic line, some of their face products are amazing indeed! their makeup brushes are some of the softest I own! try them an please let me know! 🙂 xx

I’m thinking of either trying the Chamomile cleansing balm or the Chamomile cleansing oil. Have you tried the cleansing oil?

Yes, I almost finished the oil too mostly because I spill most of it all the time. Such a waste! And I also think that the balm/butter is heavy duty compared to the oil. You have to double/triple cleanse waterproof makeup. But the oil is a good-ish product too! It’s light and less greasier than the butter… Well this is my personal experience… Maybe it will work better for your skin! xx
