The Body Shop White Musk® Body Lotion
by The Body Shop
Editor's Take
Ceteareth-20 and Steareth-2 put this firmly in throwback drugstore territory, though the smooth, quick-drying moisture suits White Musk loyalists.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 6.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 4.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 1.1 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 6.2 / 10
The Verdict
The ethoxylated base is dated, but Glycerin and Ethylhexyl Palmitate make it a capable daily moisturizer. Shea butter adds some barrier support, while Dimethicone keeps dry limbs feeling smooth without much weight. The low clean score reflects Ceteareth-20, Steareth-2, synthetic polymers, and fragrance, not poor moisturizing performance. Worth it for White Musk fans who want scent and softness in one quick step.
