A vegan and cruelty-free body lotion so thoroughly formulated and thoughtfully minded that it addresses every aspect of your skin barrier function—and as a result, has some pretty impressive aesthetic benefits, too. The hydrating base blends together aloe, shea butter, moringa seed oil, oat oil, and coconut oil to offer a robust variety of conditioning and moisturizing properties. The innovative and highly selective pre- and postbiotic combo nurtures your skin microbiome, which improves epidermal framework and soothes inflammation. Plus, potent antioxidants (in the form of coenzyme Q10 and a fruit complex) fight free radicals. Your skin will look brighter, healthier—and feel better.          

postbiotic body lotion, mindbodygreen ($30)

This texturally innovative option starts out as a solid sphere, which melts into a silky oil-balm once you apply it to body heat. It's a simple and luxurious blend of cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil. The daily stone is then topped with a barely there warm floral scent of neroli, rose, and frankincense. But if scent isn't your thing, they also have plenty of fragrance-free varieties. 

Daily Stone, Kate McLeod ($38)

A lighter body lotion that combines aloe vera with a trio of botanical oils and extracts. There's sunflower seed oil for a conditioning effect, meadowfoam seed oil for softening, and rosemary extract for antioxidants. The scent is a cocktail of essential oils (such as sandalwood, lavender, bergamot, and sweet orange) that inspires and delights. 

Perfect Zen Body Lotion, Ursa Major ($28) 

A very high-end lotion that uses aloe as the hydrating mainstay (read: very lightweight), which is then cushioned in sunflower seed oil and other extracts. But what makes this so special is the sophisticated and sparkling scent you'll simply love applying every morning: Italian bergamot, Valencia orange, clementine, and pink grapefruit.

Sicilian Bergamot Lotion, Naturopathica ($36)

This blend boasts loads of antioxidants, those free-radical fighters skin care and wellness enthusiasts can't get enough of. Specifically, those brightening ingredients come from argan oil, avocado oil, aloe vera, meadowfoam, and more. A fun bonus: It's made with arnica to hydrate skin and de-stress muscles. 

Superfruit Body Lotion, Alo ($28)

The cult of Weleda Skin Food is well known. The original is known for its rich blend of botanicals that simply sink into skin, leaving behind a nourishing trail of soothing ingredients. But the body lotion? That's a touch lighter and more spreadable, for a larger surface area—but still packed with the skin-healthy ingredients that are so beloved in the collection.

Skin Food Nourishing Body Lotion, Weleda ($7.99)

A calming number that contains oat milk and almond oil—you know, as the name suggests. The two join forces to soothe irritated skin, condition the barrier, and deeply hydrate the skin. And for those who long for a warm, creamy, gourmand aroma (you know who you are), this blend is just comforting enough for all-day wear without being overpowering. Think of this as a cashmere blanket. 

Gentle Oat Milk & Almond Body Lotion, Soapbox ($7.99)

A soothing mix of antioxidant superstars: The aquas base is green and white tea, famous for their polyphenol content. Polyphenols are powerful free-radical fighters and can help tend to mature skin. Additionally, it has green tea oil and shea butter (again, which come with more antioxidants). These provide the hydrating lipid components to the blend.

Nourishing Organic Body Lotion, True Botanicals ($38)

This all-natural number features fair trade virgin coconut oil as the star ingredient. Coconut oil is great for the body, as it provides ample slip when applying. Then it helps create a hydrating barrier to keep your skin moisturized all day. Additionally, it contains coffee berry, a powerful botanical known for its skin-replenishing qualities. 

Everyday Coconut Body Lotion, Alaffia ($9.79)

This silky light formula contains shea butter, vitamin E, and aloe vera to soften the epidermis and hydrate deeply. We also love what the formula is housed in: This aluminum bottle is infinitely recyclable, meaning you're reducing waste (fun fact: nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today!).

Body Lotion, Hey Humans ($5.99)
