Hi All,
With winters gaining speed, I am going all out to ensure I am armed with the right lotions and potions to keep dry skin and flakiness at bay…or atleast to a bare minimum. Although I swear by TBS Cocoa Butter at this time, I also admit that at times it feels to heavy and thick at times. So when I saw this lotion in the catalog I thought ‘Why not try it out?’

About TBS Satsuma Body Butter:
- Packaging –This comes in a tub like all other body butters.
- Color & Texture –The cream is a pale orange color and is not too thick like the other TBS body butters. This is the main reason I chose it in fact. Its much lighter and gets absorbed in the skin easily and doesn’t block the pores or cause any oiliness.
- Fragrance – If you’ve smelt and product from the Satsuma range you will know how ecstatically amazing the fragrance is. The smell is akin to that of orange but so much more. And the most amazing thing about this is that the fragrance does last for long. The minute I rub this on my skin, it erupts into this party on the senses that just goes on and on and puts me in a good mood for a long time.
My Verdict: What I liked best about this cream is that it isn’t super thick like the Cocoa butter or Shea body butters…This is lighter tan the strawberry one as well and gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. It also keeps the skin very well hydrated for a long time and is perfect for mildly-oily skinned gals as well. This is one product I’m sure to repurchase.
What I like about TBS Satsuma Body Butter :-
- Would suit almost all skiin types…except for super oily skin.
- Doesn’t make the skin feel greasy at all like other heavier body butters.
- Need such a tiny amount for use and the tub will last ages.
- Amazing fragrance! I can’t rave enough about this.
- Packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.
- Quite inexpensive for the quantity we get.
- Helps moisturize my skin and keeps it this way for a long time.
What I don’t like about TBS Satsuma Body Butter :-
- Would have been more hygienic in tube form
- Would be nicer to have a smaller tub which would make it easy to carry around in my purse.
Ratings:-
- Effectiveness:Â 5/5
- Fragrance:Â 5/5
- Packaging:Â 3.5/5
- Availability:Â 5/5

yeps..i ahv seen it too..but the chotu dibbis get snapped up so soon..
ha..but the only advantage is chotu dibbi will atleast get over..coz ecomically and quantity wise chotu dibbis r more expensive.
But the big dabbas seem to last forever …so much dilemma 😕
yea…i bought the big dibbi of this coz hubs also uses it so it’ll finish…warna only for me id neva buy such a huge tub…even tho its economical….coz anyways ill end up discarding it halfway out of sheer boredom…or else it’ll neva get over and get expired n ill hav t throw it out anyways… 😉

Hi Nafisa, How you doing ?
ummm yummm!!!
hav u tried this pavani? i luv using thi after using the body polish….the scent lasts for so long!
Heee heee heee i bought two chotu dibbis for myself…it was on a buy 3 and get 30% off deal…and i got 4 chotu body butters – 2 Satsuma, 1 Cranberry Joy and 1 Moringa (which i gifted to my cousin), plus two olive body scrubs…Am so happy!!! :yippee:
i love love olive body scrubs and how did u manage to get chotu dibbi Mayuri 🙁
Arey the completely misleading Body shop sale had this one nice thing – 30 % off on three products which had small tubs of body butter, scrubs, shower gels, shower creams. I picked up six such chhotu dibbis….including 4 body butters and 2 body scrubs. ….but moringa body butter is simply not my cup of tea…the smell is so strong…. :sick: oh and my sister-in-law sent me the body shop limited edition candied ginger set….am well stocked with body shop products now :chic:
now i really feel like trying the olive scrub!
Olive makes me go crazy ..seriously 🙂
meko chaiyyeee!
wow! u hauled so much Mayuri!! m amazed!
i too dont like the moringa one…it smells weird to me..just not my kinda fragrance…which scrubs did u get?
Ooohhh i bought so many things…….its great for pigmented hands….did wonder to my hands….i haven’t tried the olive scrub…but i have tried their wild cherry scrub and using the cocoa butter scrub….frankly speaking didn’t find any ‘wow’ factor….but i have candied ginger scrub and the olive scrub…have heard tons about the olive scrub….waiting to try out….and hey do try their wild rose hand cream…i have tried all three – hemp, almond and wild rose….loved the wild rose one…hemp has really weird smell….almond is ok ok…but wild rose is a winner… O:-)
ohh thora galat type ho gaya – this is the comment 😀

kaafi galat info ho gayee theee Mayuriiii 😛
He he he 😛
i hate the hemp wala smell..thats th emajor reason i dint buy any of the hand things…but u say its gud? cool…
Hemp was so pathetic…..wild rose is really nice….its not a winter hand cream…but great for other seasons…and if ur hands are pigmented it will do wonders…i myself have seen the effects…am in love with this product 🙂
oh i had my eyes on Hemp..will skip now
That’s great.. My wrist AA is very badly pigmented.. I had sun burn while in college and the dark mark remained.. M forever trying to do something to reduce pigmentation… Does the rose cream have fast results?
It had good results on me….buy the chota wala tube…its costs around 300….abhi 10% sale bhi chal raha hai….i am addicted to it u know…. O:-)
heehee…ive had that kachua for so long….it was like my pacifier when i joined work in a new city for he first time…hav u used this body butter mokp?

thanx sweetie! ur appreciation means so much!
i nly shop at tbs on sale…warna everything seems too pricey na?
yeps…ive used the strawberry one and i did luv that…but this one fragrace last even longer…its like bathing in mausambi!
I will try this one next. I have the winter cherry body butter to be finished. like you said, it seems like its never ending!
do try it surelly…m telling u, ul get addicted!
u wont believe my cocoa butter is in its 2nd yr…this winter ive decided that i simply hafta finish it…its so irritating now…
I keep wondering what this “Satsuma” is.. the pic looks like oranges, is it some fancy japanese name for oranges? … I guess I shd just smell it the next time 😀
I think satsuma is just supposed t b a citrus fruit.. 🙂 🙂 it smells like wow!! i hav no words t express how awesome it smells Tans…u shud deffo try it..
i feel the smell is like Rasna orange 😉
yyayy off topic but i found oriflame consultant lol :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: now i can also get oriflame :dance-left-right: :dance-left-right:
yeyyy!!! Now u can try oriflame along with avon! 🙂 🙂 wot did u order?
i ordered white tip nail paint, professional blending brush 😛 , very my clickit lip stain and mascara 😛
nice choice…try their giordani e/s’s also…they r really nice…
sounds like an apt summer body butter! :-))
It sure is..although in summers I’d recco it only for dry to normal skinned gals.. Oily skinned ppl may still find it greasy..
I hv the lip balm frm this range and i know the smell :drool: :drool: :drool: :dance-left-right: :dance-left-right: BTW Pune is still cold Zee????
its amazing na….i wish they wud sell perfumed sachets with this fragrance..I’d keep it in my cupboards so all my clothes wud smell like it 🙂
ITs cold only in the morning..once its 12noon all cold dissipates and it becomes too warm… 🙁 🙁
aww…i have this!! and its the BESTEST!! so light and loving the fragrance completely!!!
heehee….i knoooo…its such a refreshing scent…totlaly perks me up 🙂
ohh! this body butter has too many fans 😀
i see that and also second that!!!
That was wild cherry 😛 Oh yes! and I have their body wash also =D
Zee, Yes Ma’m! I will finish it up! Amma and I use it 😛 It suits her better though, she has super dry skin on her legs. Cocoa butter sounds yumm!! I have a Vaseline one in the same flavour, not very moisturizing for my dry feet 🙁
I know this smell! have the body polish… Nice review Zee!
