Burt’s Bees Healthy Healing Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion
I’ve been on a quest for the perfect paraben free, phthalate free body lotion, and I think I’ve found it.
Burt’s Bees Healthy Healing Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion is 99.68% natural. It has a smooth, silky texture, and smells like vanilla and marshmallows mixed with incense (which, trust me, is a wonderful scent).
Carrot seed oil, the featured ingredient in the lotion has many benefits.
Carrot Seed Oil: Daucus carota sativa. This thin, yellow oil distilled from ground seeds is rich in Beta-Carotene and is valued for its soothing, relaxing properties. It is believed to stimulate cell renewal as well as the sweat and sebaceous glands. It is beneficial to mature or dry skin, helping to deter or reduce wrinkles. It also protects skin exposed to weather extremes. The oil has a heavy, woodsy, earthy, fruity scent.
It’s non-greasy formula is light and absorbs into skin quickly. And I could just be imagining it, but I believe the naturally tinted moisturizer gave my pasty white legs a subtle, but warm glow.
