Review (5/5): My favorite natural fragrance lotion: No Sensitivity problems for me!
It does smell like an orange creamsicle in the best way (yummy!), but if I get a big direct sniff of my hand right after putting it on, it does have the smell reminiscent of eating a really good tangy, fresh apricot, too.
Even some lotions that advertise “natural fragrance,” I have sensitivity to, but this one is no problem! No sneezing, wheezing, or headaches from it. It’s a delicious smell, but not too strong or overpowering, and not fake smelling. The scent subsides quickly after a short bit of time passes, but is still there if you sniff the skin directly. I’ve tried their lavender & lemon coconut (both tend to be favorite scents/scent combos for me when done naturally), and those are nice, but this is my favorite one, unexpectedly.
I normally make my own really moisture intensive thick creams & lotion bars (with beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter & olive oil.) These I usually apply to my hands every time I wash, because my skin dries out so easily. It keeps cracked hands at bay. This lotion is not a replacement for intensive creams like that.
But this lotion is lovely when I want something that *doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy*, applies easily, soaks in nicely, & smells good. It’s kinda my “treat myself” lotion. I can also put it out for guests who are used to more traditional lotion consistency, and have them like it, while not being a problem for my breathing. It works great to include in a gift basket, too.
I can’t say this will work for every person with scent sensitivities (and don’t assume it’s okay if someone’s told you no scents...some people have dangerous health reactions to even natural fragrances, among other possible serious concerns that need to be respected), but it is definitely one worth looking into if you are the one with sensitivities, trying to find scents you are okay with. It is 1000 x better than most of the lotions with synthetic fragrances, and even some of the stronger ones that claim natural fragrance.
