| - It's easy to see the appeal of Bath and Body Works... it's like a poor woman's Body Shop. They have a large selection of signature scents ranging from heady tuberose bases to fragrances inspired by the smell of fresh, clean cotton. Their body products run the gamut from body sprays and perfumes to body butters and lotions to hand sanitizers. On top of their personal care products they have lots of home products as well (room atomizers, scented candles, etc.). And of course, they're masters of using perceived deals to influence consumer behaviour (Buy Two, Get One Free! Buy Three, Get Two Free!).
I admit to having a handful of B&BW products in my bathroom, as the Velvet Tuberose scent is a (much cheaper) distant cousin of Michael Kor's eponymous scent. However, I am uncomfortable using the B&BW products on a regular basis because I am concerned about the cheap ingredients and the concentrations of chemicals- most of their hand and body washes contain sulphates (which are known to dry out skin), and almost all of their body products contain parabens (Google to learn why you should be concerned).
I do use my Bath and Body Works products, but I am careful to put them into a rotation with other, higher-quality products with ingredients that are actually good for my body.
