Organic Body Lotion Reviews
Today I will be reviewing three organic natural body lotion products for you. Why organic and natural? Well to start, many organic body lotions are many times friendlier to the environment then their non-organic counterparts. So you can feel good knowing you’re doing your part in protecting our green Earth.
Dr. Bronner’s All-One Organic Lotion, Orange Lavender

- All Essential Oils Certified Organic

Amazon Description:

Organic jojoba oil moisturizes dry skin exceptionally well without being greasy, due to its unique similarity to the skin’s natural oil. Organic coconut oil assists absorption while organic hemp and avocado oils help keep skin smooth and supple. Organic grain alcohol (ethanol) is used as a natural preservative at a level that helps absorption without being drying. Only the finest organic essential oils are used for fragrance.

Review:
I’ve been a fan of Dr. Bronner’s other products for awhile now, but this product just came up short. I love the scent and texture of this particular natural body lotion, but the major drawback is that this product has a lot of alcohol in it. Because of the high alcohol content, it can leave your skin greasy for quite a while. Not only that, but for some people the alcohol can actually make your dry skin worst! Bottom line: I’d skip this product, there are several different brands of organic body lotion on the market nowadays, and this one just can’t compete with the rest of the natural body lotion products on the market.
Alba Botanica
Amazon Description:
“This maximum, therapeutic formula blends certified organic aloe vera, green tea and chamomile extracts with natural plant emollients and vitamin antioxidants to soothe, nourish and revitalize dry, sensitive skin. With alpha hydroxy acids to help exfoliate dull surface cells and stimulate circulation for a fresh and healthy appearance. This deeply nourishing lotion provides maximum protection and healing for dry, damaged skin. A blend of botanical essences of green tea, chamomile, and echinacea, it also delivers a restorative infusion of almond oil and citrus-derived alpha beta hydroxy for healthy skin that glows. Excellent for all skin types.”
Ingredients:
“Certified organic herbal infusion of chamomile (chamomilla recutita), echinacea (echinacea purpurea), green tea (camellia sinensis) and lavender (lavandula officinalis), plant oils of safflower (carthamus tinctorius), jojoba (simmondsia chinensis), sesame (sesamum indicum), grapeseed (vitis vinifera) and avocado (persea gratissima), vegetable glycerin, certified organic aloe barbadensis, glyceryl stearate, isopropyl palmitate, stearic acid, cucumber extract (cucumis sativus), organic sea kelp”
Review:
In terms of value for your money, this product wins hands down. Alba Botanica lotion is unscented, unlike many other organic lotions on the market today. I really like this lotion in particular, unlike the lotion reviewed above, this lotion doesn’t make your hands feel greasy at all. It just feels like your hands are silky soft. Don’t let the price fool you, this product is the real deal. And unlike many other “unscented” lotions on the market, this one doesn’t give your hands or body the weird odor that some brands of lotion are famous for. This product comes in a 32 ounce bottle, so it ensures that you won’t be running out of lotion anytime soon! The only downside that I could think of is if you want a scented lotion, but if you don’t want scented lotion or just don’t care; this body lotion is for you.

Review:
When it comes to the best natural lotion in terms of how well it moisturizes your skin, this product takes home the trophy. I really like this product, and there is no doubt in my mind that you will too. The only downside is that in terms of value for your money it comes up short when compared to the organic body lotion reviewed above. However if price isn’t a concern for you, then I’d recommend this product over the rest I reviewed. Overall, this product is the best in terms of quality, but you only get 13 ounces of lotion, compared to 32 ounces like the other natural body lotions reviewed in this article.
