15 Body Lotions That Are Actually GOOD For Your Skin

You would think all lotions you apply to your skin are good for your skin, but read the labels closely and you might be shocked to find that few lotions are actually good for your skin. Sure they may make your skin soft, but what’s really in them?

Since I have been forced to be more cognizant about what I put on my body, even my lotions are subject to scrutiny. I don’t want to put processed foods and GMOs isiden my body and I don’t want to put yucky chemicals like parabens, silicones and formaldehyde on it either. Therefore, I went on the prowl for lotions that were literally good for the skin.

All of these lotions are either organic, natural, vegan or pretty damn close. Let’s put it this way, I have allergies to everything under the sun and have what you would call super sensitive skin and I tried each and every one of these and can attest I did not have reactions to any of the lotions below.

YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER
