Natural Moisturizer: The Best Natural Lotion
Posted by Kimberly on May 14, 2011
I’ve spent many hours researching non-toxic alternatives to traditional lotions and facial moisturizers, and I’ve tried quite a few options in the way of natural moisturizers.
My two criteria in my search for great lotion are: 1) safe – something I can feel good about using every day and 2) not ridiculously expensive. Here are the best natural, organic lotions around.
Natural Lotion – Hand & Body
Burt’s Bees Naturally Nourishing Honey & Orange Body Lotion
$10.30 for 8 oz.

Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion, Unscented

Hugo Naturals Red Tea & Ylang Ylang Body Lotion
$9.99 for 12 oz.
