Tree to Tub Unscented Shea Butter Body Lotion for Dry Skin – Fragrance Free Lotion,Vegan Body Moisturizer, Good for Sensitive Skin for both Women & Men

Super gentle, loving it
***I will edit this review after trying this for at least a month, or til it runs out; whichever comes first! I will include before and after photos of my arm.The following review is after a week of usage.-Packaging-It came in a nice recyclable box, with a soapberry and accompanying attractive mini brochure about the Berry.The information was very interesting, and I look forward to trying to use the husk as a natural soap! Even moreso looking forward to planting my own soapberry seed!-First impression-The bottle has clean design, you can see the lotion inside clearly, and the pump is easy to pop up after a twist or so.Expiration date is printed clearly on the side of the bottle.Bottle itself is PET and recyclable.The size is modest, not so little that I felt this was overpriced for the volume, not so much that if this turned out not to be a good match for my skin that I’d feel guilty for throwing a ton of product out.The pumping mechanism itself is smooth, and hasn’t given me any problems after about a week of daily use.-Ingredients list-The ingredients on the bottle matches what is advertised on this listing; the ingredients list is what attracted me to this product.So delightfully transparent, short, and sweet. So many gentle, soothing, skin-loving ingredients.I’m honestly shocked more people in the skincare community aren’t ranting and raving about this— maybe because it’s targeted for the body? Who knows. Tree to Tub deserves more credit.Very clean! Free of silicones, sensitizing fragrances, and a great deal of other undesirable ingredients that are somehow incredibly difficult to avoid in American skincare products these days.Even in products marketed to be gentle or dermatologist approved, it is hard to avoid many sensitizing ingredients that are banned from skincare products in nearly every other first world country.The pH balance is also worth mentioning, as it is close to skin’s natural pH, and allows it an easier chance to heal.The fact it’s cruelty free, vegan, fair trade, and eco friendly is a huge plus in my book as well.-Formulation/texture/absorption-The cream is extremely light and fresh, and absorbs quickly into my skin. No oily or filmy textures left behind, no scent to worry about.Even on my first use, it was extremely soothing on my irritated skin.I’m using this as a body lotion, mainly for treatment of a skin condition that is most obvious on my arms, but also across the legs.I apply it in two layers following my showers, as it absorbs very well. Since I want to keep the moisture it provides after showers, I follow it with a few drops of cold-pressed marula oil to seal it in.I also apply the lotion between showers occasionally, and onto my hands at the end of the day to combat hand sanitizer-dryness.If you are used to body lotions containing silicones, you may think this lotion’s fast absorption means it’s doing a bad job, or isn’t moisturizing;please don’t misinterpret the near-instant silky soft feeling of some products as delivering moisture to your skin.For those like me with compromised skin barriers or very sensitive skin, fast results are attractive! But not always an optimal treatment with positive long-term results.After a week of using this lotion, I am noticing a reduction in redness, soreness, and irritation on my skin. The texture of my skin is also beginning to soften and smoothen.-Overall-So far, I give this a 10/10. If results continue to progress in this positive direction, I’ll give it a 12/10 and start sliding it over to friends and family.I have a stubborn (painful even, at times) case of keratosis pilaris (KP) otherwise known as chicken skin, that has only worsened since my preadolescent years.I also have stress-triggered episodes of eczema, and excoriation disorder, which add up to a very compromised and scarred-up pair of bumpy, reddened, sore arms.It’s no understatement that this is the best lotion for my needs that I’ve purchased to date.My hopes are that with long term use, in combination with a gentle body wash containing a skin-friendly chemical exfoliant (low-percentage BHA, AHA, etc), that I will work my way toward smoother, healthier skin.TL;DR : 10/10. Moisturizing, no scent, light texture, no lingering oiliness or film, non-irritating, good ingredients, planet friendly. Do recommend.

Last a long time and does a great job
Moisturizing, we like that it soaks into the skin quickly and skin feels much less dry immediately; my husband even uses it. Has no scent so doesn’t aggravate migraines.

My skin usually gets really itchy when it is super dry, and this is now the first lotion that I turn to for relief. It has a soothing scent and makes my skin feel hydrated without that typical greasy feel you’d get from other natural products. Apart from being organic this product promotes cruelty-free, environmentally friendly which I am a serious advocate. I support this product not only because it’s so effective but also we need more companies like this promoting eco-friendly and recycling.

I have always hated creams, all sorts, they are heavy, sticky and take so long to absorb. I was using LaRoche Posey Lipkar but was never 100% satisfied and have been boycotting brands supporting IS**** therefore needed to find an alternative. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this cream!!!I bought it TWO days ago and have been using it for my son and I, and I actually LOOK FORWARD to putting it on. My skin feels so great after, I feel so hydrated (and I have super dry skin). My only annoyance is that I need an extra BIG format. Two days of morning and night application for two of us and I’m almost at half a bottle. Bigger format please 🙂

I’m in the process of trying to swap all my beauty products for natural alternatives and have been finding it hard to find natural products that are as good as my usual ones. However, this moisturiser is truly the best I have ever used. It feels slightly sticky after putting on but after a minute or so it completely disappears as though you put nothing on your skin. But it makes my skin sooo soft! Like no other product has. I really love it. Only downside is the packaging as it is hard to get quite a bit out of the end of the tub as the pump doesn’t reach so quite a bit ends up wasted
