Budget equivalent
Good news for those who consider The Body Shop brand products expensive: there is a brand in the domestic market that offers organic cosmetic products at attractive prices. And judging by the numerous reviews, the brand's assortment includes many noteworthy and effective products.
The first "Organic Shop" store opened its doors in 2010 and in a short period of existence the company won the hearts of millions of customers who leave their rave reviews on the site every day.
Organic Shop Body Desserts is not a regular line. This is a real "delicacy" for your skin. The collection is represented by several categories of products designedfor body care. Consider the most popular.
1. Peeling:
- Watermelon Sugar Sorbet - an invigorating fruity aroma will charge you with vivacity and vitality. Active Ingredients: Jojoba Oil, Australian Mint, Sugar Cane & Organic Watermelon Kernels.
- Hot Chocolate is the brand's bestseller. A warming scrub with an amazing chocolate aroma. Cocoa butter cares for nutrition and hydration, walnut cleanses pores, guinea pepper extract awakens dormant skin cells, making it more elastic and smooth.
- Tropical Mix - anti-cellulite scrub will be your best assistant in the fight against orange peel. Active ingredients: Hawaiian pineapple juice extract, papaya extract, coconut flakes and avocado oil.
2. The best creams of the Organic Shop Body Desserts series:
- Caramel Cappuccino - customer reviews called this product a coffee dessert that will not harm the female figure, but, on the contrary, will leave only pleasant impressions. It is not surprising, because behind the delicate aroma lies real strength and power. All thanks to the presence of green coffee in the composition, which is responsible for the tightening effect and makes the skin supple. Among the active ingredients, you can also find cocoa butter and shea butter, caramel and spicy cinnamon, necessary for moisturizing, which improve metabolism and prevent skin aging.
- Banana Milk Shake, like the previous remedy, received a lot of rave reviews. Customers claim that despite the ratherlight texture, the formula in the shortest possible time returns to the epidermis the lost tenderness and velvety. Banana extract reduces flaking, organic avocado and macadamia oils add elasticity, and Mexican vanilla prevents stretch marks.
In the end, I would like to note that at the moment there are more than two hundred positive reviews about Organic Shop Body Desserts. What can not be said about similar products of the British The Body Shop. In fairness, we note: in terms of the effectiveness of care qualities, the European company is stronger, but the domestic brand is the leader in the price category.
Which brand you prefer is up to you, but remember that everyone's body is different, and before making a purchase, carefully read the composition to avoid negative consequences in the form of an allergic reaction to a certain ingredient.
