What is a Body Yogurt?

Invented by the clever lab coats at The Body Shop, our Body Yogurts are 100% vegan, lightweight body moisturisers suited to all skin types. The non-sticky formula is fast-absorbing: perfect prep to keep long days smelling sweet.

In six heavenly scents, all enriched with Community Fair Trade organic almond milk from Spain, they’re designed to be smothered onto damp skin straight from the shower. So, if you never actually get round to moisturising because, well... life, then these might just become one of your new favourite things.

2. LONG-LASTING HYDRATION

Skin feels marvellously moisturised for up to 48 hours every time you slather on some of The Body Shop’s Body Yogurt. A few moments in the AM or PM can help to keep your skin feeling nourished and smoother for longer. Now that’s efficient.

3. LIGHTWEIGHT FEEL

Stickiness? Greasiness? Not on this skin. No doubt one of your fave Body Yogurt benefits will be its lightweight feel and gel-cream texture. Unlike some moisturisers that feel heavy or thick, our refreshing formula glides on like a dream, letting you shimmy into your jeans instantly after applying.

5. MADE WITH LOVE

How to use a Body Yogurt

1. Jump out of the shower

No need to completely towel-dry before you set to work with this body care babe.

In fact, it’s better if you don’t, as The Body Shop Body Yogurt is formulated to work with the smattering of water droplets left on the skin’s surface from showering, to lock in moisture.

2. Dollop generously

Our Body Yogurt formula absorbs easily, so the more you want to apply, the merrier. Sink your fingers into the pot of product and slap a hearty amount onto your limbs, bum, left elbow, wherever you like.

3. Get on with your day

Take a moment – and it really will only take the briefest of moments – to massage it in all over your body, as it dries. Pick your towel back up off the floor, pull on your boots and go boss it.

Our Community Fair Trade Organic Almond Milk

The stuff we use isn’t just any old almond milk, it’s Community Fair Trade organic almond milk from Spain. We work with Mañán, the self-professed ‘Almond Experts’ of Alicante. They work with a cooperative of local, small-scale farmers and set a market price, which helps offer a bit of income stability. And their sustainable, low-impact farming methods protect the local habitat and even help wildlife like bees to prosper.

As if moisturising didn’t feel soul-soothing enough.

HOW DO OUR MOISTURISERS COMPARE?

We love our Body Yogurts for their ability to take us from shower to oh-so-soft in super-fast time. That said, we also love to slow it down for a serious pamper sesh with Body Butters and oils, and we’ll never fall out of love with our favourite body lotions... Decisions, decisions!

THE BENEFITS OF ALMOND MILK

All of The Body Shop Body Yogurts are enriched with Community Fair Trade organic almond milk from Spain. So, what’s all the fuss about almond milk? This key ingredient, and the oil extracted from it, is widely thought to have skin-soothing properties, quenching skin’s need for moisture.

We work with the so-named ‘Almond Experts’ Mañán. This Alicante-based initiative helps ensure the cooperative of local, small-scale farmers benefits from a steady income and a stable partnership in providing the organic almond milk for our Body Yogurts. They use low-impact farming methods on almond plantations that protect the local habitat and even help wildlife like bees to prosper.

So whenever you use one of our vegan Body Yogurts, you’re not just helping to maintain moisturised skin.
