Sheamoisture Soothing Body Lotion for Troubled Skin African Black Soap Lotion with Shea Butter 13 oz

This lotion is made to last! I use it for massages for my wife and love the smell and the way it makes her skin softer than others we have used. My hands are always soft from using it as well. It absorbs into the skin and stays over night. I would recommend this for any skin type it is all organic and as effective as any other lotion on the market. You won’t be let down Read more

FIRST, this is the best lotion on the planet, largely due to the African black soap ingredients. My gripe is w this recent bottle, the lotion isn't as thick, highly needed for longevity and fixing troubled dry, eczema skin. So not happy w this change. I suspect this is due to all the complaints of it being "too thick ", are you people serious? It is thick because it's good, it works to heal your dry cracked dusty skin. Why complain? Remove top and go old school. It's not Rocket Science. Now, w thinner lotion, quality will perish all because a few couldn't figure it out. Has thinner lotion EVER healed your complicated ashy skin? NO. If it ain't BROKE - LEAVE it be... Maybe change the bottle design, not lotion consistency. "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all of the time". Why change for the few when the many aren't complaining? FYI: Let me teach you folks how to write a proper review. The stars (in this case 5) is for the actual product. The written review is WHERE you then voice your concerns not related to actual product (in this case - bottle design). There, see¿ Also, I have a bottle from a while ago, the size hasn't changed. I will check ingredients for why it's thinner now. It doesn't have a "chemical smell", it smells of baby lotion meets powder freshness w a musk undertone. It's quite unique! Anyone who smells it falls in love at first sniff. :) Both my adult son & daughter uses it now. EDIT: This lotion usually clears my skin fast, keeps it moisturized the moment I start applying yet as suspected, it no longer has that effect so I'm back to edit my review. This less thick, less rich n creamy version isn't working. This, the only lotion I've found in all my yrs on planet earth no longer works because you've changed consistently thus ingredients altered for the few that couldn't get its top off? Why not change bottle design, or, create separate version for those & keep all customers happy? Please make it make sense. This is sad. Left at 5 star for high priority and visibility, but the stars have fallen from grace. ☆☆☆ Read more

I have seen lots of mixed reviews about this lotion but have been very happy. It is very moisturizing, soothing and does not leave my hands slippery and gross. My skin feels moisturized and soft for hours after and the lotions smells nice. Many negative reviews complain about not being able to get all of the lotion out of the bottle - this should be somewhat expected as most lotion bottles are this way. I plan to cut open the bottle to get every last drop, but in the end... it wasn't a very expensive lotion considering the quality. I would (I will when I need more) buy again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality lotion with aloe vera. Read more

No wonder this stuff stays out of stock, it’s fantastic!! Very moisturizing for my sensitive mature skin! Just wish it came with a pump bc it’s super thick and hard to get out of the bottle, unless you keep it upside down. Read more

Fantastic for dry, sensitive skin. I LOVE THE SCENT,its very subtle yet lingers for a while on my skin. It smells like oatmeal, vanilla and a note of hmm... Incense? It pairs beautiful with my perfume. Everyone in my family loves it. It's unisex! I've also used it on my face 👍 Read more

I love everything Shea Moisture! From my Men's after shave moisturizer to body lotion. The African Black Soap lotion is perfect for me - right consistency, not greasy; not too perfumy or harshly scented unlike other brands; stays longer which is perfect for Chicago winters; and you can use it all year round!

I use this stuff after my nightly shower as an evening moisturizer This stuff is THICK. Like, easily marketable as a body butter thick. As others have said, it's tough to get it out of the container. I just store it upside down and that seems to help a little. I'm sure as the product goes, so will my patience. If possible, see if you can somehow scoop it out of its current receptacle into a tub of some kind I've been a longtime sufferer of acne, and this stuff moisturizes my skin without causing breakouts. I was previously using a local goat milk lotion and I loved it, but the salicylic acid and other ingredients in this lotion give me that extra oomph of skin lovin' I needed. It does have the black soap smell like the other SheaMoisture black soap products, but that's fine and I really enjoy it. I don't use this in the morning under my makeup, as it would make my skin greasy. No thanks, ya'll. But I love it as a night moisturizer UPDATE: After using this for many months, I switched to CeraVe for my morning moisturizer and a glycolic acid lotion for evenings. That seems to help my acne the very best. However, I have a friend with terrible eczema on her hands and arms, and I gave her the rest of my container. She LOVES IT! When she's diligent about putting it on, her eczema is seriously diminished. She really loves it and her skin does, too. Read more
