Vanilla Lavender

With more frequent handwashing during the pandemic, I often find myself reaching for cocoa butter or lotion to alleviate the dryness I feel. This lotion bar has that (cocoa butter) and more, which provides a smooth texture that leaves my hands feeling nice and moisturized. I was concerned that it might feels sticky, but it glides on easily and feels a bit nicer than cocoa butter by itself.

i like the lotion bar well enough; it certainly has a soothing fragrance and offers relaxing application of a ‘solid lotion’ of sorts. This is a lovely product and, for myself, i think i would prefer a liquid lotion next time.

I loooove lotion bars, and this is my favorite. It holds its shape longer than other bars I've tried, so it's better in warmer conditions (made in TX, lolz), and easier to carry around.

Scent doesn't fade as quickly as most lotions.

I don't typically need lotion. My hands are already very soft. After reading the blog post Just Wash Your Hands I bought these thinking it was a big lotion soap bar because my mind and the dictionary says a lotion is a liquid.

So I was displeased I'd spent so much money on something I didn't anticipate using. Nor did I want to lose money due to shipping returning them. I emailed the company to inquire how long they'd stay good. A year. It seemed impossible for me to use up even half a bar in a year. I thought about who to gift one to, as I'd already opened one. (A bar is about the size of a hockey puck but less deep.)

Every time I saw the package I was unhappy. Then I started gardening. I decided since I had to use up the bar to give it a try. It's the best lotion ("lotion") I've used in my life, based on how well it feels on the skin during and after application, and I love the quality of the ingredients. Best of all, there's something about the (mild) scent I love. It is genuinely relaxing. I keep wanting to sniff my hands, so now every night I put some on before bed.

A friend is still getting the other one for her birthday, and I'll get myself more in the future.
