The Body Shop Vitamin E SPF 15 Moisture Lotion

The Body Shop has a large array of skin care products including Vitamin E SPF 15 Moisture Lotion. I tried a sample of this lotion a few weeks ago and decided to purchase a full size tube.

This product is a slightly thick, white, cream that spreads fairly easily and absorbs somewhere between dewy and matte. The scent is light and clean and reminds me of baby lotion or baby powder.

The Body Shop has numerous other products available in the Vitamin E line including a cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, and night cream. These products, while very nice, do contain a lot of preservatives high up on the ingredients list which indicates a higher percentage of them. Additionally, this lotion contains SPF 15 chemical sunscreen, which I prefer, titanium and zinc break me out. This lotion also contains Vitamin E and wheat germ oil among its other ingredients.

I found that I really like this product. The texture, the scent, it just feels nice on the skin. If they would add more active ingredients and reduce the plethora of preservatives this would be an even better product. Still, I like this a lot and it seems to moisturize pretty well and doesn't make my face extremely greasy.

The 1.69 ounce tube retails for $18.00 and is available online or in store.
