Body Care: Jason Hand And Body Lotions - Smoothing Coconut, Hydrating Hemp, Revitalizing Wheat Germ Vitamin E, Glowing Apricot

Jason Hand and Body Lotions: Apricot, Hemp, Wheat Germ Vitamin E, Coconut

This overview features four body lotions from one of my favourite brand of body care products - Jason. After trying numerous "natural/organic" and also regular drugstore body lotions, I've found that Andalou and Jason brands offer one of the best body moisturizers in my opinion. However, not all body lotions are the same, even from the same brand, some are better than others.

How I rate any body moisturizer:

• Ingredients. Are there enough beneficial ingredients present (antioxidants, plant oils)? Not just one or two, but I am actually expecting a good mix of them. Are there any irritants present? If so, how many and are they at the bottom of the list or the top?
• Texture/absorption. I do not like body lotions which require a lot of effort to massage them in. I am expecting a moisturizing formula, that feels nice on the skin, keeps skin well hydrated for a few days, but doesn't feel sticky and too greasy.
• Scent. Though I am against fragrance in my face skin care, I am more tolerant when it comes to body care products. However, the scent shouldn't be too strong (stronger means more irritating for the skin) and overpower the fragrance I am wearing. Of course, personal preference is very important as well. What I consider pleasant may not be enjoyable for someone else.
• Pricing/Packaging. The products should be reasonably priced for what you get. Packaging should be appealing and not in a form of a jar.

Packaging/Pricing:

These body lotions come in opaque squeeze tubes. 227g (8oz) for ~6-10$ at most health food stores or online (Jason.com, IHERB).

Really nice ingredient list with vitamins E and B5, plant oils, allantoin and chamomile extract. The texture feels almost like a whipped cream, it absorbs into skin very quickly and doesn't require extra rubbing in, which is very important for me. I also mix it with lotions that are hard to spread. The scent is very strong though, it smells very sweet and dessert like, and it stays on clothes and can overpower your perfume.
Probably a repurchase. 
4,5 out of 5.
