The Nature's Co Chocolate Mint Body Butter Review

 Net Wt: 200 ml    
 MRP:   Rs. 1,095.00

Ingredients:

Chocolate-Mint Body Butter is a part of the Earthborne range..

It comes in a flat huge rectangular tub..it has a white plastic cap on top..its not completely brown..but has a pinkish hue..and smells mix of chocolate and mint..I would have preferred more of a chocolate smell though..not a fan of this smell.

Since its a body butter and a little thick..its takes some time to spread around..and a few minutes to absorb completely.

The tub is quite huge and bulk..not very travel friendly types.

Pros:

1. Quite moisturising..it is perfect for winters and the harsh dry days when skin craves moisture.
2. Skin does remain soft and moisturised the whole day.
3. Chocolate Mint lovers might love this.
4. I love how it keeps elbows, feet and dry areas soft.
5. Huge Quantity..this is going to last quite long.

Cons:

1. A little huge and bulky packaging.
2. Tub Packaging..not very easy to use..although all body butters come in tub packaging.
3. Takes a little time to absorb.
4. Expensive.
5. I am not a fan of this smell.

Overall its a decent body butter..I like how it keeps skin moisturised the whole day…especially the dry areas…I loved using it in winters..but I would not use it in summers though..though they claim it to be for oily skin..I would recommend people with dry body skin to give this a try.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: No. I prefer body lotions to body butters.

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

Coming to the texture, its  neither a  runny lotion nor a thick body butter.This has a mousse like consistency as it reads butter cream…so its super easy to spread it on the skin. It actually feels like cocoa cream..I just love applying it. It looks cream colored but goes on transparent on skin.

Pros:
1. Stands upto its claims…get instantly absorbed,is totally non greasy and enough moisturising.
2. As its aqua based,its super smooth to apply and does not give that sticky greasy feeling like cold creams.
3. Super cheap at Rs. 100/-
4. Comes seal packed on the top.
5. Quantity is amazing..and the texture is such how much ever you use..it would stay for a long time.
6. I have not used it on my face but its amazingly perfect for the body.

Cons:
1 Has parabens as preservatives.
2. Availability would be a problem for some.
3. The smell is of like usual cocoa butters..but I am ok with it and it goes away after some time.
4. As its in a jar, you have to dip your hands in and thats unhygienic.
5. It melts in heat..and turns into a runny liquid..though it still works..using it becomes a little difficult.
