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!

With the light scent of Shea and Cocoa butter, this lotion is thick and hydrating without feeling sticky like other brands. Leaves skin silky smooth. Love it!!!

Wonderful product but price was too high.

good lotion. Aroma is pleasant.

This formulation moisturizes my hands with one application. Other products require me to continue to reapply because the lotion soaks in and my hands (especially my knuckles) continue to feel dry. This product soaks in quickly, moisturizes completely, and does not remain greasy. I love it! Now, the fragrance is unusual, and just a little unpleasant. But it's not overwhelming, and I can live with it based on the efficacy of the product.

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.

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

I like this lotion because a little bit goes a long way, it’s pretty moisturizing, and light weight. I was hoping it would smell better, somehow, more beachy or cocoa butter-y but it doesn’t really smell like anything at all. There’s nothing wrong with it other than that, but I probably won’t buy 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

Absolutely amazing. Very rich, not greasy, lovely cocoa smell. After sun bathing it made my skin look amazing and feel soft and hydrated. Will definitely buy again

La crema più paradisiaca che ci sia. Pelle setosa, profumatissima e morbida senza ungersi. Peccato sia poco reperibile a prezzi abbastanza alti. Un'ottima crema per le temperature basse e medie. D'estate può risultare poco assorbibile se applicata in dosi eccessive.
