My Observations

I was happy to get this lotion as I have pretty dry skin on my body which is so ironical because my face is oily AF! This lotion is a light, textured white body lotion that comes in a gorgeous & gigantic 250ml tube with a flip open cap. Interestingly, just like their Aloe Propolis soothing gel, it slides off the hand pretty fast if you don’t rub into the skin immediately. Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Body Lotion It’s very smooth to rub on the skin although it takes time to completely disappear. It sinks in nicely, hydrating my skin without leaving it sticky or greasy. It has a slightly ‘coconutty’ scent which I actually like. It’s nothing overpowering and it disappears after you rub in. You pretty much can’t perceive anything afterwards.

Meanwhile, I noticed my skin becoming a bit brighter as I used it and I wasn’t surprised after I realized it contains Licorice root extract. Licorice root extract is known as a natural ingredient with skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant & brightening properties. I also really love that about this. I don’t get a spectacular brightening effect but my skin definitely looks clearer and brighter after each use. Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Body Lotion

They also mentioned that it’s an all-over (face & body) lotion. I tried this out once at night on my face and I didn’t wake up with breakouts. It’s worthy to note that it also makes my face feel plump, hydrated & soft. However, I wouldn’t recommend this for oily skin for daytime use. You can get away with using it at night if at all you want to put this on your face. The reason is that it feels quite heavy on the face and could potentially clog your pores. Also, coconut oil & shea butter are known to be highly comedogenic so that’s that!

Honestly, this body lotion impresses me. The care & thought in which they used to make this, with skin-loving and protecting ingredients that you mostly only see in face products wows me! This body lotion contains ingredients you typically find in face moisturizers. I’ve gotta give it to Benton for this!

In conclusion, I wouldn’t need my body moisturizer to do more than what this lotion does for me. When a moisturizer becomes sticky, too shiny or makes me sweat then it becomes a no-no for me! It didn’t do any of this so its a Yes!!
