The BEST! Date: November 10, 2009
"the smell and the feel of this are amazing. Not heavy but very moisturizing in my cold climate. Liked it better when in came in the tub, sometimes can't get the last little bit out of the squeeze tube."

Shea Butter is amazing Date: October 17, 2009
"I have been using the Shea Butter for quite a while now. And I never get tired of how it makes my skin feel. I had a problem after getting a Cortizone shot in my foot. Nothing was helping with the break down of my skin where I received the shot. I decided to try the Shea Butter as a last ditch effort before having to go to a dermatologists. I couldn't believe it worked, and I have been using it ever since. I just wished they had it in a pump bottle. Thanks."

"I was impressed by the body scrub, great purchase but not as impressed with the body balm. Went on very thick, great moisturizer, but the smell was not all that pleasant. My husband described it as burnt hazelnut. :("

Smells delish! Date: October 12, 2009
"This product is awesome. I got it during one of Planet Spa's promotions along with a few other of their products. I like the shea butter line the best b/c of the smell. It moisturizes quite well, smells good, and is a pretty generous size - what more could you ask for? Ok, maybe a pump applicator... :)"

Wow, this smells good! Date: October 9, 2009
"I purchased this largely based on the reviews stating it smells like baked goods and caramel. It truly does.

I was worried because at first there is a strong, sweet, almost boozy smell to the lotion. Within minutes, however, that scent disappears and you are left with a nutty burnt sugar scent. Delicious.

Oh yeah--it's also a fab moisturizer. The shea butter is far higher up the list of ingredients than most products boasting using it in their formulation. This product is a real winner. Now, where's a spray fragrance in this scent?

If you love Pink Sugar by Aquolina... Date: August 15, 2009
"...then this is the body balm for you! Sweet vanilla scent, long-lasting hydration, and the price is most definitely right! Another winner in the Planet Spa line...stock up when Planet Spa's on sale. YUM! If you don't like smelling like the most delicious bakery confection, skip it -- but if you love vanilla, sugar, and caramel, get two!"

"I can't get enough of this lotion. I was so afraid I wasn't going to like the scent, but that wasn't the case at all. I was dissapointed when I saw the size of the bottle until I started using it and realized you don't need much at all, a little goes a long way."

Fragrance is too strong and just OK for softening Date: July 14, 2009
"I purchased this product along with the Foot Works Intensive Callus Cream. There is not contest, the Foot Works Cream wins by a very long distance! The Planet Spa Shea Butter cream is just OK when it comes to softening and the extremely strong fragrance is overpowering. The strong odor lingers for a long time! It's like molasses! I discarded it after the first use. Try the Foot Works Intensive Callus Cream instead. That is a great product and it works on my elbows too! What a difference!!!"

It is also good in conjunction with the planet spa med. olive oil. Apply olive oil cream at night and the shea butter in the morning. OOOOHHHLLLAAALLLLAAA!!!!!!!"

Nice... if you can get past the smell Date: May 27, 2009
"I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the tube as well as the thickness of the product. It is not thin like a lotion. It's a nice, thick creamy consistency. It's nice to slather on freshly shaved legs. The only thing I didn't care for was the scent. I sort of liked it at first but after a while the scent is nauseating. It's an odd scent like if you were to mix melted margarine with brown sugar. Overall a good buy."

Luxurious! Date: May 11, 2009
"The tube size is fairly generous. The cream itself is thicker and heavier than I expected, not what I could use in a Florida summer. Its not as thick as a body butter, but heavier than your typical lotion.The scent reminds me of a combination of vanilla, cookie dough and marshmellow. Very pleasant! Due to my location (FL) I am using this as a type of night cream; after a long hard day at work, a good bath or shower, and some intense moisturizing TLC to my unfortunately DRY skin. It works well; leaving me with soft pampered skin. I wouldnt pay the full price for it, but for the special limited time price I took advantage of, I am extremely pleased and thus, would buy again if I see it on special!"
