The Body Shop Animal Soaps

The Body Shop Animal Soap

Yes, I am talking soap today! But not any old soap... oh no no! I'm talking the cutest animal soap that are lovely to use - but also that are great for children or as a little gift for someone. 

The reason I first started buying these was because I love the standard Body Shop soaps and so the little £3.50 (here or in-store) was a great way of trying out 5 different scents of their standard soaps... however I am not going to lie I could of gone for the fruit shaped soaps but the I couldn't resist that little bear! 

Also these are glycerin soaps which I really do prefer especially in the shower as I feel they lather up well, can be used on oily skin and don't contain SLS's - perfect. 

Body Shop Animal Soaps

As for the soaps scents my nose does fail me on some but I am pretty sure these are the scents of each soap - Bear (shea), Whale (lemon), Tortoise (olive), Rhino (strawberry), Elephant (pink grapefruit). However as it doesn't tell you on the packet or on the website you may think differently if you have a sniff. 

Also once you open the packet these literally smell so juicy & good! But be warned after a few uses whether you put them next to the sink or use one in the shower they won't be animal looking for long - more oddly shaped soaps as the animals features fade away (it's a bit sinister)!

The Body Shop Animal Soap detail

As for favourites I do like the bear and the tortoise the best, however on just the scent alone I love the lemon-y smelling whale and the grapefruit elephant even though I tend to dislike the smell of anything containing grapefruit. 

But if the animal shaped soaps  (here) aren't for you then The Body Shop also sell a fruit version (£3.50 - here) and also a set of their fairly new Chocomania soaps (£4.00 - here) which are heart shaped... these are on next on my list to try out.

Which ever you chose these are just something a little bit different and fun, whether you keep them or give them as a gift I am sure they will be liked as much as I like them! 

Please tell me someone else enjoys using these soaps and I'm not alone? 

Fee xo.

I use these!
I love the cute animal moulds too much though, so I just keep them in my drawers to make my clothes smell nice :)
Aren't they adorable?!
Love, Elise

Oh wow, I remember these from childhood, though I never would have thought of them again had I not seen this! The polar bear was always my favourite - going to have to buy one now ;)
the bear is so cute! and the whale and the elephant sound like they would smell really nice, but i'd be too scared to use them because it'd be so sad watching the shapes fade before my eyes! http://cloudsandcuticleoil.blogspot.co.uk/

I love these soaps! They are the cutest things I have ever seen! And they smell amazing (: http://notmetmegan.blogspot.com
I cannot get enough of these and do you know what I love the most? They've kept the same animal shapes for so long! I remember using the whale and the bear in the bath with my mum 18 years ago! Nostalgic!
They're just SO cute!
I don't know much about soap but are these the ones that are kinda dry? I can't explain it, I've tried some soaps that feel dry and rubbery, like Sanctuary soaps. I prefer those like Dove that are smooth and lather well.
They are too cute. I'm not that much of a soap fan but I will definitely be stocking up on these to add as an extra treat for birthday pressies etc. At 3.50 you cannot go wrong!
OMG they used to sell these years ago when I was a little girl. They remind me of bath time :-)
these are so cute!

Another one remembering these from my childhood. They are still super cute. I remember Body Shop bath pearls, animal soaps and the expandable flannels as a kid, I would still use any of these myself too.
Soo cute!

Omgosh those are so, so, soooooo cute! I'm not sure if we have them here in the US but I'll definitely check next time!
I used to get these little fruity animal soaps ALL THE TIME when I was a young girl! I would go in and buy as many as I could out of my pocket money and also those little coloured bath pearls which were all the go then! Absolutely loved them but of course...wouldn't use many of them as they were far too cute!
The shop used to have the soaps displayed in like a pic n mix style and I think they were about 40p each then. I am talking about the early 90's. I have always supported the Body Shop and also used to collect those little animal badges too that said things like "extinct is forever".
Does anyone know if you can still get hold of the soaps? Trawled through the web but all I can find are images of them and all links are "page not found" :( x

I have been asking for these at body shops in sask. And alberta.I believe the body shop missed out on sales these would be a hot item would love to be able to purchase.Also the remodeled body shops are a mistake in my opinion hardly shop there anymore because just like all other stores they need to go back to their wholesome look like they had in 70s more in keeping with their motto.
