Burt's Bees Healthy healing Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion.
I was a bit dubious about this product. Carrot body lotion? Sounds rather odd to say the least. As usual, Burt's Bees products are as close to 100% natural as humanly possible and this item is 99.68% on the wholesome scale.
It goes look a little like pale mustard and can stain clothing if you are not careful with the rubbing in. The thick
lotion is meant for all-over body usage. It does melt down a bit in warm hands which makes for easier application. It absorbs very well into the skin and gives a really nice, silky finish that is not sticky or greasy. The smell has a little medicinal undertone when you first open the bottle and you can certainly smell the carrot seed oil! But this soon gives way to a pleasant, almost faint caramel-like smell that fades gently away leaving lovely soft skin.
A few other facts:
It contains a Burt's Bees staple ingredient, beeswax, so vegan's might want to stear clear.
It comes packed in a recyclable bottle, which is 90% post recycled materials already. Paraben free. Pthalate free too.
