Love Island may be known for its dramatic recouplings, hilarious one-liners and sizzling bikinis, but it's also a treasure trove for beauty recommendations. Why, you ask? Because the Islanders have often found hard-working formula that can withstand balmy days, a zillion HD cameras and the messy daily challenge (which usually involves, erm, lots of flying liquid.)

Basically, if they can still look glam on-screen after all of the above, we know their setting spray is a good 'un.

Now, post-Love Island, the cast members have been very vocal about one product in particular. In fact, it was so good, it was 'passed around the villa' on the reg.

Please enter, the Cantu Shea Butter Nourishing Body Lotion which was the true underdog of the Love Islander's beauty stash.

Samie Elishi shared her love for the highly-rated moisturiser with her fans and said, "This was literally the villa's holy grail, we all loved it, and it smells edible. It's the Cantu Hydrating Body Cream and it's just amazing."

EDIBLE?!? Sign us up.

Meanwhile Olivia Hawkins and ex-flame, Maxwell Samuda shared their love for the body lotion during Closer's Love Island Secrets.

When asked about the beauty products loved in the villa, Maxwell shared, "All the boys were using this Cantu body lotion."

Olivia replied, "The Cantu was passed around the villa. Honestly!"

Maxwell added: "They had a good curling cream for the hair, as well.

Olivia then said, "Yeah, we loved it didn't we, I think everyone wore the Cantu in there.

The lotion is made with natural coconut oil and thanks to its moisture-rich formula, helps to relieve dry skin and restore your natural glow. It's loved for being fast absorbing and extremely hydrating, thanks to its nourishing blend of shea butter, cocoa butter and Vitamin E.

One chuffed customer wrote, "This cream is very hydrating and non-greasy. The smell transports you away to a beach. Not normally a moisturising cream girl I tend to use body oils but this is lovely."

All in all, we've found the perfect body lotion for summer and beyond. Brb, off to buy ten.
