St. Ives Naturally Soothing Body Lotion, Oatmeal & Shea Butter 21 Oz by St. Ives (Pack of 3)

Absorbs quickly and doesn't feel greasy. It actually soaks in and moisturizes the shin. Pleasant light scent.

My skin was parched and dry in Vegas. Here, I doesn’t matter if its summer or winter, the water is sucked out of you in the desert climate. So the moment this got delivered, I didn’t wait for a shower, I ripped into the box and slathered it on my hands and smelled it. Kind of a medicinal odor. I didn’t care. I worked it into my forearms and watched as the white scaly skin turned back into its natural color. I hadn’t put my makeup on and my face hurt, so I put a generous amount all over my face, including my eyelids. It felt so good I spread the excess down onto my neck. I almost heard my skin go “aaaahhhhh…” There was absolutely no burning around my eyes which surprised me, as some of my very expensive facial creams warn against getting close to the eyes, and if you’ve ever experienced stinging, crying eyes, you know why. But with this simple drugstore St. Ives lotion, all I felt was good.I got curious so I started reading the bottle. Aptly named Nourish and Soothe, it said it was made of 100% natural ingredients. Nice. I turned to the back label and it confirmed my experience. Soothing hydration, non-greasy…says it intensely hydrates. The only thing that didn’t jive was the warning in caps; avoid contact with eyes. But I wasn’t worried. Mine were still saying thank you.The ingredient list doesn’t seem 100% natural, but if your skin is hurting from dryness, just don’t read it. If you don’t like the smell, be patient. It fades. From my perspective, 21 ounces of relief for under $10 that is gentle enough for my eyes but strong enough to turn tough skin on my feet soft is pretty incredible. Take a shot and buy it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I’ve used this lotion for many years. I love the oatmeal and shea scent and it is very moisturizing. I also like that a little bit goes a long way.

Very good lotion

I love this product soaks right into the skin makes your skin feel soft would buy again

I am a frequent user of vegan and organic products due in large part to the fact that there is no active government body which regulates chemicals used in food or cosmetics. While this product is not vegan or organic by any means, it is a great, inexpensive substitute to use in between purchases.It works wonders on dry skin and even eczema. I applied some to mine and my husband's cracked hands and knuckles, weathered from working long hours in the wintery cold. Doing this just a few times in one day significantly improved our discomfort and left our hands feeling soft and smooth. It does feel a bit greasy after application (any lotion that claims it feels otherwise is simply not telling the truth), but by blotting a few times with a towel just enough to not slip off of slick surfaces or leave a lotion-y residue (i.e. touch phones) that quickly resolved the issue. I also rubbed some of the lotion into his sore spots where his eczema flares up. While it did not heal him completely, it did help to reduce his desire to itch.I truly love the scent of this lotion. It is sweet (but not overpoweringly so) and calming. I'm a big believer in aromatherapy and the power that certain scents have to relax the nerves. I often purchase items with lavender in them for this very reason. However, this scent had a surprising effect on me (and my husband!). We couldn't stop sniffing our hands after applying it to our cracked knuckles, and each time we did so, smiles spread across our faces. It's not quite "fresh baked cookies at grandma's house." More of a "coming home after a long day of work and drinking some good tea" type feeling. It really puts you in a good mood, and I imagine it would give you an extra "clean" feeling when applying fresh out of the shower.My only concern with this product lies in one of its ingredients. There are a handful of ingredients in this product of which to be wary, but none that are cause for too much concern. These are mostly potential irritants to those who have particularly sensitive skin. Although, I have VERY sensitive skin and I had no adverse reactions to this product. However, there is one ingredient listed called cyclopentasiloxane that does worry me a bit. While it is ranked as one of the lower toxins on ewg.org, it is still linked to cancerous tumor formation in animal studies when given at moderate doses according to the Dow Corning Corporation. This certainly isn't a product I would use every single day of my life only because of the amount of ingredients I can't pronounce let alone identify without a reference, but in small doses I don't think it would be particularly harmful. This is just my personal preference.Overall, I really like this product. It works well, smells great, and gives me very little concerns in terms of chemical content. I would definitely recommend this to a friend or family member, especially one who is experiencing extreme dryness with their skin!

I've been using St. Ives for years. I have very dry skin and it's one of the only lotions that really works. It's thicker than most lotions and absorbs well. Although it has a light fragrance, I wish it did not. For some reason most Pharmacies no longer carry it. Not sure why.

I have very dry skin but with the St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter I have no trouble. It doesn't feel greasy after I put it on and can put it on my hands every time after they get wet and still use my cell phone without getting the screen to dirty. It's lotion so it will mess your screen up but I doubt there is a lotion, that works, out there that wouldn't smear up a cell, laptop, or touch screen computer. I recommend you try St. Ives, I can only speak for the Oatmeal and Shea Butter lotion, ɓut it does relieve my dry skin.

Predilego il body lotion Oatmeal/Shea butter di St. Ives perché idrata ed assorbe istantaneamente e non unge o lascia tracce sui vestiti. L'idratazione è fantastica, più di qualsiasi altra crema. Inoltre, abbraccio la loro filosofia "100% NATURAL", senza parabeni, con ingredienti vegetali. Consiglio vivamente.

Great for my skin and smells lovely. Pricy as imported but well worth it.

I have dry skin and this product really worked for me! The texture of the moisturizer is very light, it absorbs quickly and is non sticky. The fragrance was very pleasant and subtle. The moisturization lasted half the day for me. I am happy with it in general.

The best body moisturizer/lotion in St.Ives Series.... I have been using this for over a year now (Vaseline is now a thing of the past for me) and its extremely good, is not sticky and does not leave a foul smell that Vaseline used to leave earlier. I definitely recommend anyone using a moisturizer to try this for sure and you wont regret it.

doesn't feel greasy, smells lovely good value for money. The pump didn't work very well at first but seems to be ok once I got it going.
