A fragrance can change your life. Really, it can! How many times have you seen yourself smiling at the scent of fresh flowers in a bouquet? When the raindrops drench the earth with their wetness, the beautiful scent that emanates brings boundless joy.. The aroma of fresh baked bread or cookies erases all thoughts in my mind, and makes me so happy! And wearing my favourite perfume or a great scent makes me feel special, especially when I get a whiff of it in the middle of a hectic day at work or running errands. It just reminds me that life is good 🙂
Philosophy: Enjoy those little moments in the day with yourself. Savour that delicious meal and appreciate it. Wear a great perfume, sniff it on yourself when you feel low during the day, and carry on!
Do discover your favourite scent, and wear it often. Like I did, when I discovered the Moringa range from my favourite The Body Shop! Read on to know what has made me fall deeply in love with this..
Ingredients: Since I got so obsessed with this amazing scent, I did my own little research on this plant! Commonly known as drumstick and eaten as a vegetable, the flower has a variety of health benefits, and has been used to make aromatic tea! Lately, the cold-pressed oil from Moringa seeds has found its use in luxurious bath and body products, not only due to the heavenly scent, but also with its benefits to the skin.
Packaging: This comes in the usual TBS body butter tub, which is a pale creamy yellow colored. It has this picture of a huge moringa flower on the lid, which I seriously find very appealing! The product details are written on the back. Some people find this tub type packing a bit unhygienic, but I love everything about it, as the product is super easy to use, and leads to no product wastage at all.
Claims:
My Experience: I want to tell you first that this is my third tub for this body butter, so you know how crazily I have been using this! I remember ordering it online the first time, without ever having an idea of how this would smell like.. The first whiff of the scent made me ecstatic, it was the perfect white floral scent!

Color and Scent: This body butter is a beautiful pale creamy yellow colored, and looks like real butter! The scent..oh the scent! I dedicated this post’s opening to the topic of scents as I’m head over heels in love with this one. Mind you, it is very strong and might not be everyone’s cup of tea, so I suggest that you thoroughly sniff and try it in the store before you buy. A beautiful and powerful strong white floral is how I would define it. Though it may seem extremely strong in the container, once on your skin, it mellows down and it seems like a flowery garden on the body! And trust me, this scent would last you really long (upto 10-12 hours on a good day, and at least 5-6 hours on average). I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it! I especially love to use this butter in spring and summer, as it goes well with any white floral perfume. For me, this is the perfect summer body butter!
Texture: The texture is close to that of heavy whipped cream or softened butter. It is really soft and creamy. A delight for the senses! It spreads very evenly on the skin.
Effectiveness, Moisturization: This comes with a claim of upto 24 hour moisturization. The moringa body butter works equally well on my dry skin as, say their cocoa body butter. It works on my skin for a good 24 hours without a need to re-apply. It does manage to keep my skin very soft and smooth all day long. Even after doing the scratch test on my skin after 24 hours (scratching my skin to see if I’m left with a white, dry mark), this never leaves that mark of dryness. I love how beautifully fragrant it leaves my skin even hours after application. A total success! You need a small quantity for your whole body. Girls with oily skin can probably skip this, or use it very very sparingly, as this is quite creamy and might not be suitable for you. However, it is perfect for normal and dry skinned girls.
FFS Rating: 5/5 It is a very good skin moisturizer for dry skin, leaves your skin fragrant and soft.
Price: Rs 1095 for 200 ml. Though steeply priced, I always suggest that you keep a lookout for TBS sales, where you can get decent discounts on these.
Where to Buy: TBS outlets across the globe. Their online shopping portal which ships free if your order is above Rs 2500 in India.
Pros and Cons:
PROs:
- A delightful white floral scent, which I find very unique, and exotic! 😀
- Just like other TBS butters, this is a god-send for my dry skin
- Quantity is huge, and you need a very little to keep you covered
- The tub is very easy to use, and travel friendly. They never leak or cause trouble while travelling
- Has the goodness of shea and cocoa butters, which are full of great fatty acids that are amazing for the skin
- I love TBS philosophy of cruelty-free and fair trade practices
CONs:
- Is a bit expensive, but as I said, S.A.L.E!
- The scent might not be a favourite for all, but the majority of Indian noses would love it. Non-Indian girls, try this one at the store before you buy!
- The scent might clash with your perfumes, so I advise you use the matching body mist from TBS, or use it with other white floral perfumes
Repurchase: Forever and ever.
Final Word: The Moringa Body Butter from TBS is THE BEST SUMMER BODY BUTTER! The scent is oh-so-amazing, and my personal favourite. It is an excellent skin moisturizer which gives you soft skin for upto 24 hours, and a tub lasts you ages. Moringa seed oil is said to be very good for skin. Full points to the product, and I highly recommend it!

Love this photo! I wish this scent was just a little bit sweeter though
Thank you! I know, this scent is a bit too overpowering for some girls. If you’re looking for something sweeter, then their honeymania body butter is just perfect! You can read my review if you want.. honeymania is my second most favorite TBS scent family ☺

Ooooh thank you!
☺ pleasure dear!
I loved this scent when I smelt it but was worried it would be rather strong x
It does seem rather strong if you smell it directly out of the tub, but it is milder on the skin. I still suggest that you try it from the testers that TBS has in stores before you buy, as some girls still find it quite strong! ☺ xoxo
Oh, I have such a weakness for these floral scents and Moringa range is one of my favorite scent from TBS products, have used the range shower gel and liked it a lot for the scent
This is one of their best range ever! Even I loved the shower gel ( am thinking of getting their 1 liter pack!) 😜
i love TBS products . Nicely reviewed
Thank you Snigdha! 🙂 i love TBS equally!
Summer is on its way and I will be purchasing this very soon! 🙂
I’m almost through with my third tub of this butter,I love it so much! I already have a new tub in my stock, so I never run out 💛
