Alba Botanica Hawaiian Hand & Body Lotion, Replenishing Cocoa Butter, 6 Oz

first - i am not kidding in the headline. i am extremely picky about hand cream, despite having hands that are dry as the sahara. if it's greasy or leaves a sort of film, i hate it. if it leaves my hands slick, i hate it even more. i had just given up finding anything outside of asian beauty brands - aside from l'occitaine, which, well, love their handcream, but my wallet does not love the price. until i picked up some of this stuff in desperation at the store. IT'S FANTASTIC. it doesn't sink in as instantly as some korean handcreams, but it sinks in pretty darn quick. it isn't greasy, it doesn't leave my hands slick, and it packs some real moisturising power. the scent is really lovely. best of all, since it's also for body, it is great to just put some on your feet at night and anywhere else that needs a bit of care like your elbows. i've absolutely been going through a tube of this about every two months. amazon makes it really easy to repurchase, and the cost is SO much better than having to special order from asian companies or having to fork over a huge amount of cash for very bougie handcream each time. plus i can use it on my feet as well, so it gets to replace not just one but *two* beauty products in my routine and save me even more money!

Not too much fragrance. Lite scented; yet goes in well to skin.. feels wonderful

I buy this repeatedly. My fave lotion.

Alba makes good products. And the hand lotion is probably a good product for most people. In my case, the smell is too strong. And this is the reason that I gave this product only 4 star and the scent a 2 star. I am alergic to insect stings such as those good old wasp who stung me 5 times. I was in ER. So, I am not interested in strong scented hand lotion. If you don't mind strong scented items, then give this Alba hand lotion a try.

I have loved this body lotion for years. After a shower I rub it mostly on my arms, legs, feet, hands, and neck but it can be used all over your body. It soaks into my skin leaving it so soft and makes me smell like a fresh baked snickerdoodle cookie! If I've just put some on my hands in public, someone nearly always asks what that wonderful scent is. It's a good opportunity to advertise my favorite lotion.

Love it I purchase at least 6 at a time been using for many many years.

This product smells so good. It gives my skin some color. The only thing I use. Works for the whole body. I bought 2 so I will be covered for awhile.

Positives - This lotion has a nice scent, but it smells very strongly of cocoa butter though. If you're a fan of cocoa butter, then great, but if not, then I wouldn't recommend buying it. I liked the scent, so I consider this a positive. - My favorite thing about this lotion is that it moisturized very well without making my skin feel greasy. Negatives - As much as I liked the scent, I couldn't get rid of it. Whatever I touched for the entire day seemed to smell like cocoa butter, and no matter how many times I washed my hands, the smell still lingered. I don't mind a strong smelling lotion, but it would have been nice to not last for quite so long. - In my opinion, this is a very expensive lotion for the amount that comes in here. I should have known that when I bought it, but I guess that I was hoping that it was a really high quality lotion. It was very good, but I didn't feel that it did a better job moisturizing than bigger lotions that I've bought at a cheaper price. Overall Thoughts I liked this lotion, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking for cruelty free products, or anyone who is a fan of strong cocoa butter scents. For me personally though, I didn't think that it was quite worth it for the money, so I probably wouldn't purchase it again.

Mai più senza, pelle meravigliosa in poco tempo

I love this cream - it smells so delicious you become almost edible to those around you! 😉 Seriously though, you will get plenty of compliments! Especially with those who like cocoa! Saying that, it's not an overpowering fragrance, nor is it cloying or sickly. It is very moisturising and sinks in almost immediately. I use it sporadically throughout the day on my hands and on my body after a shower. I get hand eczema but this cream doesn't affect it.

No me gustó el olor como cualquier otra crema común y corriente

This lotion is the right balance of everything - subtle smell; not too thick, not too thin; great ingredients; no animal ingredients; absorbed quickly by my skin; leaves my skin smooth. It's the only lotion I buy. Love it!

Fabulous product, nice light fresh scent. I’ve purchased three of the lotion and one of the oil to date and it is one of the best non greasy moisturizers!
