I have received so many of these in Rubyboxes. And I do not mind getting duplicates of these at all. It is a natural product made from essential oils and it nourishes intensely.
The smell is not all flowers and perfume, but something about the natural, herbal smell really makes me feel happy using this product.
A definite must have for any bedside table.

Another eco-friendy proudly south african brand made from natural essential oils like marula, african potato, rooibos and aloe vera. A deeply moisturising body butter that doesn’t leave the skin feeling sticky and is soft enough to spread easily. What I can’t stand though is the scent thing elizabeth arden 8 hour cream and it’s very strong and does not fade which really does overpower your perfume but otherwise great body butter if you can stand the smell.

I bought this body butter after seeing many good reviews and boy was I glad I did!
The first thing you notice is how thick it is yet almost melts on contact with the skin.
It is easy to apply and a little is all you need. I have terribly sensitive skin and I have noticed a visible change in 2 weeks of use, it cools my skin and condition is beautiful.

The smell is like a spa but I caution those with overly sensitive noses that the scent is beautiful but they may find it too strong. I personally do not, but each olfactory gland is different!

A definite must have

I received a sample of this and i love this body butter - at first I was unsure about it as it smelt very strong but now I love it and i don't mind the smell at all!! I wish I had more of it

Something that smells this bad must be good. To be fair this body butter has a lovely rich creamy texture that is easily absorbed by the skin. However, you are left with that lingering smell. Maybe it's the African potato, I don't know, all I know to me it smells nasty. So much so I have banished it to my feet. After all my heels need as much help as they can get. It makes my feet all nice and soft for a few hours but it's no miracle cure. As with most reviewers I received the Africology body butter in a Rubybox and I will not be buying more when I'm done with my deluxe-size sample.

I received this in a Rubybox a few months ago and I have been using it sparingly because I am still on the fence about it. The texture and consistency is everything that a good body butter should have, but I am not that crazy about the smell. It combats dry skin but it can be on the oily side if too much is applied. The thickness of the cream makes that it goes a long way but it can be difficult to apply if one is in a rush.

This body butter is clearly of high quality. It is rich and thick and creamy and absorbs into your skin nicely. I am all for natural products too and love that it's proudly South African too. One thing that would make it the best product though is if the smell was just a little less earthy. Not a huge fan of that.
