Product Description:


Wrap your skin in soothing hydration with this award-winning St. Ives Soothing Oatmeal & Shea Lotion. Natural ingredients help deliver long-lasting relief from itchy, dry skin.

Key Ingredients:

Oatmeal 
OATMEAL is a naturally occurring, anti-itch ingredient. Once it solves that challenge, mighty, mineral-rich oatmeal goes to work to gently soothe and help to soften your skin.

Shea Butter SHEA BUTTER is known to be rich in natural, skin-protecting vitamins A, E and F, as well as high levels of fatty acids, which can work wonders for moisture-deprived skin. Centuries of soothed, balanced hydrated skin also help to reinforce how beautifully effective shea butter can be.




Application:

 
Smooth into skin once or twice daily, or as often as needed. Daily use will provide best firming results and will prevent over-dry skin from recurring.


My Experience:

Its a jumbo bottle with a pump. It has a very nice scent.  


My moisture hungry skin

 

The consistency is some where between lotion and creamy, a little bit thick, but not greasy Just Perfect .


 

Pea size lotion on my skin




 It is not too runny or too thick has a nice texture hence it spreads well.  




Nicely Spread, Great texture


It is nice for putting on after a shower to smell nice but not overpowering & moisturizes well.   I really love the way the lotion feels.  It provides great dryness relief for skin that is prone to dryness, like mine And it provides long-lasting relief.
