Good everyday lotion. Reasonably priced
United StatesRich and cresmy
This works well and the pump delivery is convenient
United StatesLove the more natural ingredients and the silky smooth finish, but it has an odd, almost sour smell.
United StatesGreat lotion but horrible smell
I chose to get the unscented lotion due to my very sensitive skin, and it is very hydrating and gentle! BUT the smell is not the best. Smells kind of like hay or crayons :/ next time I'm going to try the coconut lotion, I hope that one smells a little better.
