FINAL VERDICT
Henry Rose’s Sheep’s Clothing Body Cream upholds the brand’s admirable commitment to transparency but fails to meet Functional Beauty’s clean formulation criteria. Its extensive list of synthetic fragrance molecules outweighs the benefits of its nourishing base, making it a poor choice for anyone prioritizing skin health over scent. While the texture and aroma may appeal to perfume enthusiasts, it does not align with The Beauty Doctrine’s standards for long-term, barrier-safe skincare.

QUICK VERDICT:
A richly textured body cream dominated by synthetic fragrance compounds, offering temporary softness but misaligned with clean, Functional Beauty standards.
