Something special:

On the website there is an Offers tab that puts all the special deals in one place so you can find what items are for what offer easily.

What the brand is known for:

The brand is known for their creamy body butters. Perfect for the dry Iowa skin. There are 36 different scents to choose from, six being vegan products. Whatever your skin type or fragrance preference is, there is a body butter for you. By using the filters on the side, you can choose what kind of scent you prefer and what your skin is like to get the ideal body butter. http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/bath-body-care/body-moisturizers/body-butter.aspx#/body-butter.aspx

My personal favorite:

I love the Wild Argan Oil Body butter. I use it every time I get out of the shower regardless of what time of the day it is. It makes my skin feel silky smooth. In the winter skin tends to dry up, tighten and crack from the dry air, but with this, it replenishes my skin’s moisture while providing a light scent that I constantly get compliments for. It makes my skin go from the sharrharra desert to normal in a quick application that feels wonderful on the skin.  http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/body-moisturizers/body-butter/regular-body-butter/body-butter-shea.aspx
