For centuries the women of Ghana have used cocoa butter to moisturise and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families.
Cocoa Butter Creamy Body Wash contains the following key ingredients ....
Cocoa Butter - Is an excellent moisturiser that melts at body temperature, leaving the skin feeling soft, silky smooth and supple. Helps to improve skin elasticity and helps prevent stretch marks. Enables the development of community projects such as schools and village

Very short PERSONAL REVIEW
The texture was soooo thick and creamy. Saya sempat bingung. Botolnya saya bolak-balik. Ini beneran sabun kan? Gak ada busanya. Gak bikin kulit berasa bersih juga seperti umumnya sabun.
Setelah browsing sana-sini tentang creamy body wash, sambil nanya-nanya via Yahoo Ask, saya baru paham bahwa saya butuh bath lily agar si body wash ini bisa berasa sabun mandi. Tapi creamy-nya itu yang gak nguatin. Badan rasanya licin, gak kunjung bersih. Kalo istilah Jawanya, pating klenyit. Dari banyak tulisan review para blogger, saya pun akhirnya ngeh bahwa creamy body wash adalah varian pembersih tubuh untuk mengatasi kulit yang super kering. Kapan sih kulit bisa super kering? Ya waktu winter a.k.a musim dingin di negara-negara empat musim sana. And then I was just like "oalaaahhhh...." Pantesan aja, di cuaca Jogja yang lagi sumuk-sumuknya ini, mandi pake Cocoa Butter Creamy Body Wash bukannya jadi seger malah tambah sumuk. Pliket gak karuan. Berusaha dibetah-betahin, ternyata tetep gak tahan.
Packaging was soo inconvenient. No pump. And the bottle hole was the regular one, quite small. Bayangin, dengan tekstur yang begitu kental, harus mencet botolnya setengah mati supaya bisa keluar isinya. Dan tau sendiri kan, botolnya TBS biasanya tebal dan kokoh, jadi harus dipencet pakai kekuatan dua tangan. Duhh itu mandi jadinya bener-bener gak nikmat sama sekali.
Final conclusion?
I threw the product for sell on an online flea market LOL :)))))) Jual aja lahh....
