The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Products

I love lemon scented body products. I have loved the C.O. Bigelow Lemon products since I was first introduced to the Lemon Body Cream when it was first carried at Bath and Body Works. Another lemon favorite is the Lemon-Made line of products from Davies Gate. The C.O. Bigelow Lemon is true lemon and is scented with natural lemon oil, meaning that the fragrance fades quickly. The Davies Gate lemon is much sweeter and the fragrance does not fade as fast. Now, The Body Shop has added a lemon fragrance to their line up and I am quite happy to add another fragrance to me lemon loves.

This fragrance is called Sweet Lemon and I feel that it is in the middle of the two fragrances that I discussed above. It is sweeter than the Bigelow Lemon but the fragrance is still natural and fades fairly quickly. It has less of the sharp citrus note to it and therefore would appeal to someone who isn't already a fan of lemon. Another wonderful aspect of this line is that proceeds from the sales of the product go to help end sex trafficing. So you are able to help those in need while getting your hydration fix.

There are several key ingredients found in these products. Lemon seed oil is high in anti-oxidant properties and in Vitamin C helping to both soften the skin and protect it from future damage at the same time. Lemon Oil also helps to brighten the skin but it does increase the skin's sensitivity to UV rays so this may be a line best used at night if you spend a good portion of your day outside in sunlight.

This fragrances comes in the following forms: the body butter, shower gel, a light whipped body lotion (for those who find the body butter too intense for their skin type), and a divine looking body scrub. I think that I will be purchasing all four forms before they sell out.
