erbavivaOrganic Baby Lotion, 16 Fl Oz

At the current price point of $36 for a 16 oz bottle I expect a very high quality lotion. While the ingredients are mostly high quality, I am hesitant to give even 4 stars to a lotion that has water listed as its first ingredient. The lotion comes in a pump and it isn't runny; it holds its shape somewhat but is still not super thick.The label boasts of organic mandarin and chamomile. There is definitely a mandarin scent but chamomile, or anthemis nobilis, is the very last ingredient listed. I could detect a slight chamomile scent as well.The lotion soaks in nicely and leaves more of a slight waxy feel when dry than a greasy feel. The scent does linger a bit which is nice because it smells better that way than when first applied.It does seem a bit pricey but a little goes a long way and it does work well to keep skin moisturized and supple.

This product is a disappointment. It has about average moisturization properties, but it smells kind of yucky. Any artists out there will know what I mean when I say it smells like Grumtine ( a solvent used for cleaning brushes or thinning paint); a weird combo of the scents of a cedar closet and rotten oranges. It isn't a strong smell, but it's unpleasant to me. I will not repurchase this.

There is no discernible scent in this light lotion. It will provide enough moisture for a baby year round but for my dry winter skin it probably won't be quite enough. It would be great for summer, though. My skin does feel smooth and comfortable after applying. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any greasy feeling. I have sensitive skins and appreciate how gentle this is.
