 Review:
The Nature’s Co. Chocolate-Mint Body Butter comes in a white plastic tub with a brown lid. I have found that The Nature’s Co products are have simple packaging. Of course the quality of the product matters more but somehow since I deem The Nature’s Co. to be a high drugstore brand, comparable to The Body Shop in prices, it can probably step up their game to make the packaging a tad bit more interesting.
This body butter is deemed suitable for combination skintype but as a person with dry skin, I think it has worked well for me too. I did feel that this was a bit lighter than the Mixed Body Butter, I still did not feel any dryness in my skin after using this.
Let me first reinstate that my first impression of this product was not that good. Firstly I hate chocolate and mint mixed together, second I was expecting a different scent from this. This one smells of chocolate (in a chemical way) and just by looking at the body butter or smelling it, you would not guess that this contains any bit of Mint. I also did not have any pronounced tingly and fresh minty feeling that most mint-based products have.

Rating: 3.5/5
Recommend: Maybe. If you have combination skin and like Chocolate scent, you might enjoy using this body butter.
Repurchase: No. I enjoyed using this body butter for as long as it lasted (35 ml for 7 days) but it did not make a mark in my opinion. I am happy that I tried it but for the price, I would like to experiment a bit more with other brands and products.
I think that this body butter is moderately hydrating to the skin and also absorbs within moments of application. I was neither super impressed nor appalled by it! I liked the Mixed Body butter (that I received in the same bag) better than this one!
