We tried the Body Shop Shea Body Mist – Here’s why it’s a must-have for soft, glowing skin.
If you’re searching for a hydrating body mist that smells divine and nourishes your skin, the Body Shop Shea Body Mist range may be your next beauty obsession. Known for their natural, ethically sourced ingredients, The Body Shop has created a lightweight mist that delivers long-lasting moisture with a subtle, comforting scent.
Ideal for dry or sensitive skin, this mist is enriched with Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana and designed to leave skin soft, smooth, and beautifully fragranced. We tested it to see if it lives up to the hype.

“The Body Shop Shea Body Mist is one of those products I didn’t know I needed until I had it. The scent is soft, creamy, and a little nutty, just like shea butter with a fresher, lighter edge. It’s subtle, grown-up, and perfect for everyday wear. What I love most is how close it sits to the skin, not overpowering, but noticeable in the best way.
On its own, it’s comforting, but when layered with the Shea Body Butter it lasts longer and feels extra indulgent, almost like wrapping up in a blanket before heading out. It doesn’t last all day, but a few hours is enough, and I don’t mind reapplying. The mist is light, fine, and easy to throw in my bag, and I even spritz it on hair or clothes for a quick lift.
The packaging is simple and practical, the price makes it guilt-free to use often, and the scent works for almost any occasion, from work to weekends to quiet nights in. If you’re into warm, cosy, slightly oudy scents, this is an easy everyday go-to and definitely a year-round staple.
I would rate this 9 out of 10″

“The fragrance mist was super subtle, and I could smell it on myself after even a couple hours. The scent was a perfect match for the winter season, as it was warm and cosy, and also added moisture to my skin, which is super helpful during the colder months.
The nozzle of the body spray was quite small and a little tougher to use than the average body spray, however, this does make it feel like a more elevated product as well. I would recommend this product as an easy way to hydrate skin quickly, without having to moisturise with a cream.
And with it being affordable, I’m encouraged to shop more from the Body Shop range”.

“I found the body spray very nice to use. It was light and refreshing, with a subtle scent which was pleasant. This product slotted into my routine easily.
After a week of using the spray, matched with the Shea Butter body moisturiser, I started seeing my skin not only felt better but looked better. It was glowing and very soft to touch.
If you love a comforting skincare moment, this is the right product. It felt like something between skincare and self-care. With the mist having a nourishing scent and texture on the skin.
Amazing for dry skin”.

“I was unsure about it as I don’t usually like body mists, but I fell in love with this product. I work out every morning at 6am, and it is so fresh to spray on the skin before my workout but not overpowering – very subtle but feminine.
My skin was subtly fragranced which is what I prefer both before a workout and before a long-haul flight. It is excellent.
This spray has inspired me to use a body mist before working out, as it is subtle but refreshing. Sweet but not overpowering. I was surprised at how well it performed.
Such good value for money and such a quality product.

“I am not a usually a fan of body sprays, but this one by The Body Shop changed my mindset. Normally I do not like spraying mists on the skin, as I am always in a hurry, and many body mists or sprays never dry fast enough, or provide the right type of hydration.
For extra cold days, I sprayed after using the Shea Butter body moisturiser for extra hydration, and found my skin was so soft. I do often have to reapply moisturiser in the morning as part of my routine, however, when using the moisturiser at night, a simple use of this lovely spray in the morning was enough to get me through the day until I showered of an evening. Skin stayed nice and hydrated without issues.
I did find the nozzle a bit small and often my finger was slip, but as I mentioned, I am always rushing. And the small nozzle did it make it more luxurious to look at. This body spray however, was easy to use, dried fast and has the most pleasant smell, I didn’t need to add any other fragrances to my daily routine.
I would absolutely recommend this product”.
