You prefer plant-oil moisture and like a richer feel on the skin
You like a naturally scented lotion and peppermint essential oil appeals to you
You want a clean lotion you can restock on a normal Target or grocery run
You want a clean everyday lotion that clears parabens, phenoxyethanol, PEG emulsifiers, and petrolatum
You like that an outside audit, EWG Verified, confirms the full ingredient list
You do not mind a light, naturally derived lavender scent on your skin
You want a clean lotion you can pick up at mainstream stores and reorder easily
The main thing to know
The moisturizing system is built from plant oils with no glycerin or hyaluronic acid, so it softens and seals well but does not pull water into the skin the way a complete formula does. If your skin is very dry or cracked, you may want a lotion that adds a humectant.
This is a genuinely clean, independently certified lotion, and the one thing to know before you buy is that it is lightly scented with named lavender essential oils rather than unscented, so a fragrance-sensitive household may prefer an unscented option.
Skip this if you...
You need a truly fragrance-free lotion because essential oils irritate your skin
Your skin is very dry or compromised and needs a glycerin or hyaluronic acid humectant
You prefer a fast-absorbing, lightweight lotion over a rich oil-based one
You have reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin and need a completely unscented formula
Your child has diagnosed eczema and needs a ceramide barrier-repair formula
You prefer a lotion with no botanical scent compounds at all on the label
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
