6 out of 5 lol
I once had 8 large bottles of this because i adored it THAT much.
It’s a very thin gel which you have to shake up. I put mine in the fridge so when shaken it gets thicker. Now I love it, and I have to admit to needing to have it around at all times. I love spicy/foody smells and Skinny Dip is THE spicy and softening shower gel/bath foam I’ve tried to date from Lush. This gel was rabidly popular in it’s day and I don’t know why Lush disconinued this.
Initially Lush titled this a “body conditioner” in their catolog. Then it was under shower gels.
I used it in the bath and i even washed my hair with it at times. Ohhh what fabulous things it did for my skin.
This smells like very strong cloves. Then there’s a creamy smell to it as well, like a creamy, buttery-rich bakery smell.
The gel should be creamy if shaken though it will seperate. when it does the top will be more of a creamy thick consistency and the bottom half a watery dark golden mixture. It’s loaded with white chocolate bits, cocoa butter bits, almond oil and other skin softening goodies. I have dry skin and I love how this makes my skin so soft as well as fragrant. The scent lasts on the skin longer than most. I also use it on my hair.
There was a learning curve to this scent for me. The first time I tried it I did’t like it. I thought it was waaay too strong and it didn’t smell like chocolate to me. Later after learning how to read the ingredients listing, I realized it was full of clove oil, creamy coco butter goodness.
Here’s a demo video i made of using the Lush skinny Dip Buttercream at the sink.

Here are some photos i took of other Lush products with the same scent.
This is Skinny Dip but in buttercream form, sort of. While it doesn’t begin to have the creamy goodness and originality of it’s predecessor shower gel, Skinny Dip buttercream is a nice, medium consistency and smells of that clove and white chocolate aroma of Skinny Dip. And while I give Skinny Dip buttercream three stars, It’s not the same Lush as the “Skinny Dip” original body conditioning gel, it’s just not the same.
Below is another product; the Skinny Dip body lotion.
Lush 2006 description: As a shower gel Skinny Dip was one of those products which people loved or hated; now that it has metamorphosed into a Butter Cream we hope that even more people will love it (the ones who didn’t like having to shake the bottle to mix up the cocoa butter, for example). Now, Lush’s gorgeous, violet and clove scented shower extravagance comes in solid form with softening cocoa butter, soothing aloe vera and our ever popular infusion of creamed coconut. Washing your body with Skinny Dip Butter Cream feels like a soothing massage with relaxing tropical oils.
Butter Creams
Creamy Cakes of Glycerine Soap made in huge buckets and hand-rolled in petals, chocolate, cocoa butter and other unexpected ‘packaging’, our butter creams look like huge helpings of luxury dessert. At room temperature they start out smooth, soft and slippery, but if you’re the sensation-seeking type you can choose to chill or freeze them to turn them into blocks of invigoratingly refreshing shower soap. Butter Creams are a luxurious blend of 15% soap – enough to get you clean but not make masses of non-essential lather – and 85% natural, skin softening oils and butters, glycerine, plant infusions and essential oils. Use them for summery soft skin.
This is Skinny Dip in bubble bar form
There is a Skinny Dip spray perfume too.
I need to find my picture of it.
