About this lotion. First off, I have to talk about the packaging. The bottle is cute, with this little green leaf shaped pump. Definitely letting you know this product is geared toward the baby department. I actually really like the bottle but what on Earth is the purpose of placing that little bottle inside a box 5 times bigger than necessary and cradling it in a box full of crinkled colored shredded paper bits? It's a little plastic bottle of baby lotion not a glass bottle of expensive perfume or wine. The plastic bottle was even shrink wrapped in plastic. All of that was encased inside of an shipping box with those strips of air bubble segments. I couldn't believe that's all that was in there. So much effort to actually get to the product and so much waste to have to worry about discarding. No it is not a reflection of the product itself, but it is something companies should reflect on when packaging and marketing their products.
As far as the lotion goes, I'm not a big fan of the scent. It definitely doesn't reek but it isn't exactly pleasant to me either, which I suppose is better than some horrible, overpowering floral or fake fruit scent. This is geared towards babies and small children after all. I do wish it had a more pleasing odor though. Something a little more powdery or maybe faintly sweet smelling. I'm not using this on a baby, I'm using it for myself but I know who this lotion is made for so I am keeping that in mind. I just love how babies smell and it would be nice if this lotion had more of that kind of scent.
So now you may be wondering how well this lotion moisturizes. This is actually one of the better lotions I've tried. I first put it on after my shower before I went to bed and pleasantly enough, my skin wasn't dry when I woke up the next morning. I tend to suffer with dry skin due to the dry air in my apartment, especially my hands and feet, so I am pleased to say that the lotion did its job while I was sleeping. My hands and feet were still soft the next morning, and my arms and legs still felt nice and supple and smooth as well. I've also been applying it after I wash my hands and even on my face and it has worked very well. My skin is sensitive, especially on my face but there has been no redness, itching, or other negative reactions to this lotion.
All in all, with the exception of all that packaging material for one little bottle, I am quite satisfied with the product itself. It doesn't smell as pleasant as I would like, but it doesn't reek with the smell of harsh chemicals either. It seems to do its job of moisturizing quite well and not only do I like it, I would not hesitate to apply it to a babies fragile skin.
