I have reviewed several products from Tropical Traditions in the past, but this is the first time I have tried one of the items from their skin care line. I have always been impressed with their other products so was quite anxious to see how this one would live up to my expectations.
Naturally, all of the moisturizing lotions from Tropical Traditions are made with their organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Palm Oil, the finest bases on the market today and contain high levels of anti oxidants:
Virgin Palm Oil contains high concentrations of a powerful form of Vitamin E called “tocotrienols” which published research has shown is 40–60 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol (the most common form of Vitamin E found as an additive in most skin care products.) In addition to these powerful Vitamin E tocotrienols, Virgin Palm Oil is also rich in natural carotenes. It is one of the richest natural plant sources of carotenes with concentrations of 500–700 ppm. It is 15 times more retinol-equivalent than carrots and 300 times more than tomatoes, for example.
I received an 8oz bottle of the Moisturizing Lotion in the Baby Silk scent. I don't know why, but the first thing I always do is sniff any type of lotion....I guess I don't care how good it works if the smell doesn't appeal to me. It's times like these I wish I could put a scratch and sniff sticker in the post....the scent is very appealing but hard to describe. For me it seems reminds me of a cross between that wonderful clean baby smell and a high end spa. If that scent doesn't appeal to you, no big deal, you can choose from Lavender, Unscented, Citrus, Peppermint or Arnica.
As you can see in the picture, it comes out of the bottle very thick, so it isn't glopping all over the place. The great thing is though, that unlike some thick moisturizers it seems to just melt right into your skin very easily so you aren't rubbing and rubbing to try to get it to absorb.
I really enjoy the bottle I received, it's perfect for my moisture deprived winter skin!
