United StatesGreat Product
This product is so creamy and amazing! It is such a great moisturizer and I use it all the time for my hair and skin. I am so glad to have found this product.
United Statesdon't mind its texture at first, the result is awesome
the whipped style makes it a little too sticky for my liking, must rub between palms to warm it and make it spreadable. i like the smell and it really moisturizes well, though.
United Statesgood
Good lotion, though I wish it were plastic free.
