We're Obsessed With Baby-Soft Skin—These Nontoxic Essentials Eclipse All Others
I'm going to be honest with you: Writing about beauty has made me a lot pickier about my bodycare routine. It just comes with the territory. I've learned a lot about what ingredients are generally winners and which ones to avoid, but I've also just learned a lot about what my skin does and doesn't tolerate. My skin is actually pretty sensitive and doesn't always react well to harsh or heavy ingredients in body lotions so I decided it was time to go the organic route.
Just to clarify, products labeled as "organic" usually still have some kind of synthetic ingredients in them to preserve and stabilize the formula. Synthetic ingredients don't automatically equal bad. But it is nice to use a body lotion or two that isn't loaded with dyes, parabens, or strong fragrances. I've tried quite a few natural body lotions over the years and I can say with confidence that the ones on this list are the best—especially if you're like me and have sensitive skin. For the best natural body lotions and oils to incorporate into your routine, take a peek below and find your new favorite.
1. Avalon Organics Hand Body Lotion
2. Eminence Organic Skin Care Monoi Age Corrective Night Body Cream
3. True Botanicals Body Butter
4. Sky Organics Sweet Almond Oil
I love Sky Organics with all my heart. The brand's simple, organic formulas are just so good. A few of my favorite body moisturizers from the brand include sweet almond oil and grape-seed oil. They leave my skin feeling baby soft without being even the slightest bit greasy. As a bonus, most of its formulas come in under the $20 mark, too.
5. RMS Beauty Body Oil
6. Carter + Jane Love Pumpkin Oil Butter
Clearly, I rotate between quite a few different organic body moisturizers, but I always find myself reaching for Carter + Jane formulas the most. The brand's oil butter formulation is thick, but it comes in a variety of incredible scents and leaves your skin hydrated and supple for 24+ hours. Recently, I've been obsessed with this new pumpkin rendition of the oil butter. It smells like fall in a bottle.
7. SheaMoisture Daily Hydrating Body Lotion
8. Osea Anti-Aging Body Balm
Osea's body balm is a fan favorite because it combines the lasting hydration of a lotion with the youth-enhancing ingredients of a serum. Standout ingredients include alaria seaweed to improve the appearance of skin elasticity along with skin-softening passion fruit, coconut, açai, and babassu oil.
9. Love Beauty and Planet Soothe Serene Body Lotion
10. Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Rich Body Cream
11. Mutha Body Butter
This is another favorite in my rotation of clean body butters. With high concentrations of organic shea butter, antioxidant-rich mango butter, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, it deeply nourishes the skin. I always feel like I just got a luxurious body wrap at the spa after using it—no joke.
12. Nécessaire The Body Lotion
13. Tata Harper Redefining Body Balm
Tata Harper is the queen of organic skincare and bodycare products. Tata and Henry Harper grow the ingredients for the brand's products right on their own farm so you know you're getting high-quality, well-sourced ingredients. It's hard to pick a favorite among the rich bodycare line, but this balm firms, provides major hydration, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
14. Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion
15. Klur Elements of Comfort Body Oil
Klur is another organically-sourced brand I'm completely in love with. The brand's Supreme Seed mask is a holy-grail item for me, but its Elements of Comfort Body Oil deserves some major attention, too. Organic hempseed, avocado, and grapeseed oils deliver reparative hydration and nutrients to the skin. It also smells amazing with the uplifting scent of neroli, Bulgarian rose, and French lavender.
