Bath and body Body Care: troubleshooting and FAQs

Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Bath and body Body Care.

Troubleshooting tips

  • If your body lotion or cream separates or has a watery consistency, shake the product well before use. If the issue persists, it may be expired; check the batch code on the packaging and contact customer support for a replacement.
  • For body washes or shower gels that are not lathering properly, ensure you are using a loofah or washcloth and not applying directly to dry skin. If the product is too thick, try using warm water to help it foam.
  • If you experience skin irritation or an allergic reaction after using a body care product, discontinue use immediately. Wash the affected area with mild soap and water, and consult a dermatologist. Report the reaction to Bath and Body Works customer service for further guidance.
  • If your body mist or fragrance fades quickly, apply it to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) and moisturize your skin beforehand. Store the product away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its potency.
  • If the pump on your body lotion or cream is stuck or not dispensing, try twisting the pump cap to unlock it. If it remains stuck, run the bottle under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the mechanism, or contact support for a replacement.
