Title: Love the smell and soft skin
Review: Great calming scent. Light. Best for use after bathing. Even my husband likes it. Best if used regularly for skin softening.

Title: Finally!!
Review: I’ve used this brand of lotion off and on for several years. I have a coconut allergy (among many other ingredients), and this is one of the few lotions that doesn’t irritate my skin. That said, am I the only user of clean products that is just OVER lavender and vanilla scented everything? I mean I get it, they are natural and abundant and not harmful, etc. But this passion fruit scent, which I happened upon on Amazon by total accident, is really nice and anything but boring. My health food store carries this line but not the passion fruit scent. I am paying about double for it by ordering it here (compared to how the other scents are priced locally), but you get a huge container so to me it’s worth it.This is not a heavy lotion, meaning it soaks in quickly and is not at all sticky. I live in Midwest winters which are super dry, and it’s sufficient for keeping my skin happy.

Title: Lavender is great.
Review: I recently bought the unscented and first impressions.1. It runs thin compared to Nivea body lotion but I live in FL so I don’t have to worry about harsh winters and my skin in general is not dry.2. The unscented smells weird to me but trying to get used to it. Maybe it is the shea scent which I have never used or smelt before.3. Once its moisturizes i’m happy with it becuase i like the ingredients except for the Phenoxythenol.4. I might switch to the Lavender hoping the weird scent won’t be so noticeable.UpdateI switched to the lavdender. I have been using it for 5 days now and the scent is much better. Its on the strong side in my opinion but i dont mind. This lotion also moisturizes really well. Its not a thick lotion but when used on skin you really have to rub it in or maybe i use to much. 1 pump per leg and foot. Athough If you use to little bit there is like this water texture that makes it hard to rub in which nivea did the same.

Title: Meh, pretty average
Review: This is comfortable lotion that isn’t heavy or greasy and doesn’t stink like synthetic chemicals. It’s still cheap-thin and needs more shea butter in the mix.

Title: Almost made my skin worse?
Review: Unfortunately I can’t return as I bought this ahead of time and missed the window by a month.I tried to give it time but this lotion is awful. It is super watery- that’s fine but I’d expect to be more like shea butter (thick and nourishing).It takes forever to rub in which I’ve only experienced with sunscreen. But sunscreen at least is moisturizing!This almost seems to dry me out more? I’m not a super dry person but about 2 hours after using this my body is tight and itchy with a greyish cast from dead skin.I thought I was getting a good deal, and I love the good work the company claims to do, but this product is horrible.I’ve let a few people with other skin types try it and they hated it. I have no idea who this is for.I thought maybe it was a return from another customer that filled it with something else- but it was wrapped, so I’d have to think this lotion is just not authentic to its ingredient list.Maybe it’s 95% water 5% shea.

Title: Healthy Products
Review: I have had it for three months. I did not give any review earlier was because the product presents differently than any other lotion that I used. I bought unscented one, and the product felt heavy and smelt a bit smoky. After using it for 3 months all over my body other than neck and face, I realized this is a very healthy product. It moisturizes really well and lasts for a long time, leaving skin protected, breathable ( no matter how much I accidentally applied on) & not oily. I also use a lot on my feet starting several days ago, and it made my feet’s skin soft moist and smooth the same day. I really really love it.

Title: Love this lotion–great for cracked winter hands
Review: I use Everyday Shea (vanilla) all over after a shower. It rubs in quickly, and I happen to like the vanilla scent, which is not too strong. But what I really love about this lotion is that it keeps my hands from becoming the disaster that usually results from cold, dry winters. I use it on my hands after I wash them or do light dishes. Even if I wear gloves to wash a lot of dishes, I put this lotion on first. I have never had luck with expensive medical-grade greasy lotions for my severely cracked skin in the winter. I had tried many, many lotions and had even slept in moisture barrier gloves overnight, which is a royal PITA.Everyday Shea is NOT greasy. It forms sort of a waxy barrier on my hands, remaining there longer than other lotions–and other Shea lotions. I know this because I can still feel it on my hands the next time they’re under water. I always dampen my hands first before rubbing in a small amount, and then I add even more and massage into my cuticles and fingertips where I have the most problem. Before bed, I add a third coat and don’t quite rub it in all the way, letting it settle around my fingernails. I like that I can still open doors, use my phone, and handle bed linens, unlike with greasy lotion. When my hands are really bad from chemicals or handy projects, I add a coat of greasy medical-grade lotion on top. The greasy stuff only does good when I use it OVER the Everyday Shea.

Review: I’ve been using this body lotion for years, it usually lasts a good six months or so, but whenever I run out it’s hard to find! So glad to have found it on Amazon and with next day delivery!The lotion is moisturising but light, all natural and gentle on my skin. Love it for me and my children.
