The Body Shop

i used to LOVE the body shop, and technically, their products haven't changed.  however, the company was sold not long ago, and some of their business practices, namely animal testing, may have changed... if this is something you're concerned about, you might do a little reseach about their policies.

anyway, their body butter IS great, and so is their banana shampoo & conditioner, if you have damaged hair like i do.  i also have some eyeliner from there that i've had for about 6 years and it still looks as good now as it did brand new.  and my signature scent is their "white musk".  i never leave home without it.  their body washes smelllll deeelish...   and they can scent any of their unscented products right on sight for you, which is cool.  i have a hair towel from there that i've had for 10 years or more.  i used to really like their carrot face cream, and i still use the blue corn mask.

the glycerin soaps smell good but melt really quickly.

We do not test our products or ingredients on animals. Nor do we commission others to do so. We never have and never will. We consider such tests to be morally and scientifically indefensible."

The [linkhttp://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/browse/product_detail.jsp?productId=prod3650055&categoryId=cat30008]Strawberry Body Polish[/link] is my favorite product EVER.

Avoid the [linkhttp://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/browse/product_detail.jsp?productId=prod4010014&categoryId=cat1010003]Hemp Body Butter[/link]. Awesome product, horrid smell [:'(]

I loved the spray pump body lotion!

I think it would be easier to list the products I don't like. The hemp body butter makes me feel like I'm weariing a rubber suit. Ummmm... thats it.

I really love the Nut Body Butter and all the Nut stuff actually. And I love the Oceanus scent. Also Dewberry smells surprisingly good on alot of guys. The African Spa stuff is nice too but only in the winter. It smells funny when it warms up. [:'(] I love all the lip balms and the makeup feels nice on but I've never bought much of it. They have a great Cranberry scent around Christmas. Hmmm... I 'm sure I could go on and on and on...

I've never been able to break through the wall of smell to get in there!  You can smell the place from a block away.  The products you all have mentioned sound great, I just cannot tolerate strong scents, so I guess this is not the place for me.    (I think I would enjoy feeling like I'm wearing a rubber suit)

Say yes to Latex! LMAO...
You're right...it's like the perfume counter at Dillard's times 10!

They had a pineapple facial wash in a little tub that I absolutely LOVED!  But almost all the stores here are gone, and the one that I did find doesn't have it anymore.  Are they online? 
 
I also used something called a banana hair mask when I had long, beautiful hair...and it was awesome.  People used to stop me on the street about my hair. 

The only thing I've ever purchased from them was a peppermint deodorizing foot spray.

I got it in the airport after my pup had gotten diarrhea in the airplane... in case you were wondering, it masks poop smell quite nicely.
