Alba Botanica Unscented Original Body Lotion

This is great lotion. It's the right consistency, smooth and while it takes a little effort to run it in if you use too much, just start with less and add more until you get the hang of it. It really hydrates my skin well and can even be used on the face in a pinch. Small amounts. It is indeed very emollient. I like there are no toxic chemicals and while a little pricey, it lasts a long time. Because it is...very emollient. As a side note: I even add some virgin coconut oil. Not that it's necessary, but it makes even smoother and... yes, more emollient. I have surgical scars on my back and keeping them hydrated helps with the pain.

I love this lotion. It’s my daily lotion, it moisturizes well, the smell is pleasant and not overpowering. It dries well, not greasy or sticky.

This has been my go to product for years. I like the ingredients, the performance, the scent, and it never irritates my sensitive skin. What I haven't liked over the years is that the pump works for 80% of the container and the remaining 20% I have had to throw out. I did mention this to the company and they were very appreciative. However with my next container, no matter what I did the last 20 or 25% stayed in the container. It seems that the pump action does not work for some reason. The straw is long enough to touch the bottom of the container. When I spoke with the representative she said that they don't recommend cutting the container open. I thought that was odd and probably in response to other people having raise that issue. I went ahead and got a widemouthed refillable pump bottle with a widemouth at the top. I was delighted to have three of the containers of the product all with about 25% of the product at the bottom. I carefully cut the containers open and went ahead and just spooned the product into the widemouthed jar. To the bottles filled the widemouthed jar and I just went ahead and screwed the top on and I have now another container of the product! Now that's how you pepper a steak! If you are a fan of the Alba body lotions I would suggest that you buy these bottles and make sure you are getting your full monies worth. The product is outstanding.

The lotion is great! If feels smooth and made my hands feel very moisturized. It smells like any ordinary lotion but the fragrance free aspect is GREAT for my eczema. The color is just your plain white color and the pump works great! Only complaint is it leaked during shipment, probably about 3 pumps worth and was messy to clean up! Otherwise it’s great and I love it so far!

I've recently started trying to switch to more natural products but lotion hasn't been an option till now. From my experience natural body lotions are more liquid than solid and therefore hard to put on. This is not the case with the Alba Very Emollient. This lotion is thick and smells divine. I look forward to using it daily. I've never looked forward to using lotion. The consistency is thick and the smell is a mixture of floral and almond. It goes on easy and is not greasy at all. That's my complaint about many lotions. It's either easy on and doesn't work or it's too thick and greasy. This lotion is just right. I don't think I'll ever buy any other lotion. My skin is soft, no razor bumps, no dry elbows, no ashy skin, just soft and supple like lotion should be. This lotion also has AHA in it which is an anti aging skin smoothing product and so I tried this lotion on my face(I have dry skin) and it didn't break me out, or make me an oil slick. It was gentle enough for the face too! A surprising side effect. I don't know if this is normal but I use this after I shave. The hair is growing back slower and slower since I've started using it. It didn't say anything about this when I bought it. But no joke since I've been using this daily I only have to shave my legs once a week. Then it's barely stubble. I don't know if Alba meant for this product to do that but I love it. I've never loved a side effect before either lol

Love this brand of lotion! I typically get the unscented, but I also like their original and coconut. The scents aren't overpowering imo. It hydrates and is great for the dryer winters. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, and isn't filled with petroleum by products. Just real stuff. At $15 for a 32 fl.oz pump bottle, it's a good deal! **I included a picture of how Amazon packaged it (or possibly the distributor). They've done this the last few timesI ordered it, it seems like it cuts down on any issues with the bottle busting during transit.

This lotion is fantastic - I had some incredibly dry skin postpartum and used a bath and body works lotion I had on hand and not only did that not put a dent in my dry skin, my newborn had a complete freakout from what I suspect was the strong scent D: This lotion is amazing, it got rid of the lizard skin with the first use it's unscented so my baby didn't have a meltdown lol I feel moist but not sticky and gross round the clock with this stuff on. I even used it for a dry scaly patch on his forehead and again first application it fixed his skin too. 10/10

I love this lotion! Been using it for like 7 years now. At first I thought it smelled a little like bread. I don't notice the smell anymore. But it is a natiral and unscented product so I feel like its expected that it have a natiral or earthy smell. I used this daily for 2 pregnancies and only got a couple tiny stretch marks around my hips. Far less than I expected based on my female relatives and the normalcy of them. I believe the lotion was to thank for the lack of stretch marks! It moisturizes so well. My kids have very sensitive skin and have never reacted to this. It helps with their eczema a ton. Its super thick but absorbs well and doesn't leave a greasy or sticky residue. Seriously the best lotion on the planet in my opinion. It is not certified gluten free, but I have never reacted poorly to it. If you are celiac, you may want to be cautious. I have non-celiac gluten sensitivity and a family history of celiac. Amazon could package this better for shipping. Its always rolling around in a box that is way too big. Sometimes it oozes lotion out or the pump breaks in shipping. I always keep an extra old bottle in the cupboard in case I need to reuse the old pump.

Como varias de las reseñas mencionan, el olor sí no es tan agradable, pero con poquita crema tengo para que me deje la piel humectada. Aparte de que me la deja super suave. Si está un poco cara, pero me ha durado bastante. La volveré a comprar.

I am delighted to find this item again, as I had used it before. As I've aged, my skin has become so dry, flaky and soemtimes sore. Alba really does go into the skin to nourish it and keep it soft for longer than other moisturisers, some of which have a tendency to just sit on top of the skin. The fabulous 32oz bottle is very good value for money, and believe me I've tried a few. This is the best I've found.

extremely good and value for money.

Sticky but has a great scent.

Good body lotion. Smells a bit funny but you will get used to it.
