With prices starting from as little as £2.99 and formulated with hero ingredients such as Cupuacu Butter and Coconut Oil for head-to-toe hydration, shoppers can achieve a tropical holiday glow without the expense of an overseas holiday.

Also available from 11th August:

Promising noticeably brighter and smoother skin, the Tropical Essence Body Scrub (£4.99, 220g) gently exfoliates and unclogs pores for a refined finish. Made with sugar crystals, it deeply cleanses textures while removing dead skin cells for a visibly glowing and radiant result.

Helping to nourish and repair sun damaged locks, the Tropical Essence Shampoo (£4.49, 400ml) and Tropical Essence Conditioner (£4.49, 400ml) are formulated with additional Plant Keratin to strengthen hair and reduce breakages for a healthy, soft finish.

Looking to lock in extra moisture? The Tropical Essence Leave-in Conditioner (£4.99, 210ml) is a summertime must-have, infused with a blend of Babassu Oil, Brazil Nut Oil and Vitamin E to help maintain hydrated hair while detangling and preventing frizz. For deep restoration, shoppers can opt for the Tropical Essence Hair Mask (£4.99, 220g); designed to repair damage and bring hair back to life after being in the sun and sea.

Not forgetting hands and feet, the Tropical Essence Hand Cream (£2.99, 100ml) and Tropical Essence Foot Cream (£2.99, 100ml) will prevent dryness and hydrate for up to 24 hours with added Shea Butter, Brazil Nut Oil and antioxidants. Another scentsational must-have, the Tropical Essence Body Mists (£2.99, 90ml) encapsulate a tropical paradise in a bottle.

Sporting a new exotic aesthetic, the cult must-have hits shelves as Pinterest reports a tropical takeover for 2024 – with shoppers seeking escapist aesthetics and holiday nostalgia.

Aldi’s NEW Tropical Essence range is available in-stores from 11th August, whilst stocks last.

As with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

FREE NUGGETS? ALDI LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR ITS NEW OFFICIAL NUGGET TASTER

28 January, 2026
  • The supermarket is offering one lucky shopper their ‘dream job’, receiving a variety of Aldi nuggets for FREE in exchange for feedback
  • The news coincides with the return of Aldi’s popular heart-shaped ‘Love Nuggets’ returning to shelves from 10th February as part of the supermarket’s Valentine’s Day range
  • Entries are now open until 4th February

Aldi is on the hunt for the ultimate nugget connoisseur to claim the coveted title of its first-ever Nugget Taster.

The search comes as the nation’s love for nuggets reaches fever pitch. Cultural phenomena like the YouTube series ‘Chicken Shop Date’, which has amassed over a billion views in the last five years[1], and ‘#chickennuggets’, which has reached over 3.6 billion views globally[2], have cemented the humble nugget as a true cultural icon.

The successful applicant will receive a selection of Aldi’s best-selling nuggets to sample for free. This includes the supermarket’s popular Share the Love ‘Love Nuggets’ with Date Ketchup (£2.99, 350g),which return to stores from 10th February as part of the Valentine’s Day range. Priced at just £2.99, the heart-shaped bites have already proven a fan favourite, with shoppers previously sharing their excitement on Facebook groups, New Foods UK and Snack Reviews.

In addition, the successful applicant will also receive the supermarket’s classic Oakhurst Chicken Nuggets with Dips (£1.79, 300g), Roosters Chicken Nuggets in Breadcrumbs (£1.65, 450g) and Tempura Chicken Nuggets (£3.99, 540g).

All the supermarket is asking in return is a set of reviews rating the nuggets on their taste, texture, and the crispiness of their coating, to help guide the supermarket’s Buying Team on future products.

Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “The nation’s love for chicken nuggets is undeniable and we’re seeing a huge appetite for new and exciting flavours. Our shoppers are our most important critics, so launching the role of an official Nugget Taster is the perfect way to ensure our products deliver the quality, taste, and price they deserve.”

To be in with a chance of landing this tasty job, all candidates need to do is send a video application to NuggetTaster@aldi.co.uk with the following details:

  • Full name
  • Age and location
  • Social media handles
  • Why they love Aldi’s nuggets
  • Why they should be Aldi’s first-ever Nugget Taster

Entries are now open until 11:59pm 4th February.
