Body lotion recommendations

Maureen43

Hello All,

I am after a good body lotion and wondered if you could help. It needs to be:

Good value, but not necessarily cheap
Not strongly scented
Not greasy

Years ago I used to use Vaseline Intensive Care but they changed the formula and I didn't like it any more.

On Amazon the Aveeno Shea Butter Body Lotion (300ml at £4.79) gets good reviews.

Can anyone make any other recommendations or second the Amazon one? I don't mind if it is a supermarket one if that is the best!

You should get organic or natural lotions. You want a product that contains no parabens or phthalates, and does not to use toxins in their products. Burt's bees is not too expensive and can be found in many stores. There are other brands that you can find in stores that are organic (just look at the ingredients to see, and if it saids organic)

Lush's Dream Cream is awesome and lasts for ages

Garnier Intensive 7-day moisturiser with Shea Butter gets my vote (currently on offer in Boots 3-for2)

I like Palmers - not the cocoa butter (smells too sickly) but either the olive oil or the shea formula. They sell the olive one in Boots but I haven't been able to find the shea one in any shops, so I order it online.

Palmers do one in a blue bottle that is supposed to be a good anti-ageing body lotion though I haven't tried it myself:

I love Superdrug's vitamin E body cream. It sinks in fast (my number one priority in choosing body lotions), doesn't smell strongly and is only £2.99 for a HUGE tub (and currently on 2 for £3.99!).

Love it to bits and the fact it doesn't smell means it never clashes with whatever perfume or shower gel I use. Only other one I like this much was L'Occitane's almond one which is lovely but £35 for a tub half the size of the Superdrug one!

How very bossy of you to tell someone else what they should get and what they should want!

I would recommend Palmers cocoa butter lotion, they do it in unscented. Nice and rich but blends into your skin easily and lasts on your skin for ages.

Bonus with this one, Superdrug's own brand skincare products are all bunny friendly
