I have incredibly dry skin that ends up clogging my pores, like keratosis pilaris. Basically, I get acne caused by dry flaky itchy skin, and it’s so frustrating. It rules out most products that are too drying or too oily.
This lotion is amazing! Most lotions are too heavy, or stay slimy, so I can’t use them as much as I need to. This one absorbs so fast, and although I’m initially applying it frequently (my skin is *that* dry, y’all), I’m seeing a significant improvement only 24 hours later. I’m confident that as my skin improves, I’ll need less of it.
I used to work for an esthetician, and am very picky about products. Most lotions (even natural ones) have silicones and mineral oils to improve shelf stability, texture, and application of the product—but those things will make skin drier and more irritated over time. This is the only brand (besides the Ann Webb line that’s more expensive) that doesn’t have those things. The value for these effective ingredients (and no “additional” stuff) is incredible.
I cannot stand strong smells, and appreciate that there is no added fragrance—only the scent of the coffee berry and coconut ingredients themselves. It’s a light scent, and doesn’t linger too long. I can easily wear my usual lightly scented natural deodorant or body wash, without the scent competing.
Overall, I highly recommend this product for sensitive, combination skin. It doesn’t have the same texture of most other lotions, but as I explained above, that’s a really good thing. Just be aware of it.

I love this lotion! However, the box it was shipped in had no padding, the bottles of lotion were rolling around in the box & although they were wrapped in plastic, one leaked and lotion was all over the bottle.

I received this bottle opened with the lotion squirted into the box from dispenser top. It’s a twist then pop up dispenser which could not have been opened during the shipping process. The open bottle was pushed into the box to fit which means that the shipper squirted the lotion into the box and sent it anyway.As for the lotion, I use it often. It’s lightweight and smells like coconut.

I’ve been using this lotion for awhile. Better ingredients that most lotions. Not greasy, light

I don’t like a strong smell and this is perfect. I keep this in a locker at work and slap some on some times when I arrive or leave. I don’t worry about my coworkers wondering what that smell is. Also, it doesn’t feel either waxy or watery.
