If you're looking for a body lotion that does it all and smells good, well here you go. The mbg postbiotic body lotion hydrates the skin and traps moisture for all-day nourishment. Unlike many body lotions, this blend includes pre- and postbiotics that work to support the skin's microbiome (which plays a role in overall skin health). The scent is created thoughtfully: For top notes, you'll smell bergamot, ylang-ylang, and petitgrain. In the middle, neroli is the predominant note. The base is warm cedarwood. Say yes to microbiome care that doubles as an aromatic experience. 

Pro: Great for everyday use

Con: Subtle, slightly floral scent (in case you're looking for something stronger)

Pro: Leaves skin glowing 

Con: Small amount

If you want to add a little CBD therapy into your daily routine, this ultra-rich body butter by Prima is a great way to do so. The cream contains 275 milligrams of CBD, blended together with shea butter and five different organic oils including two of our favorites, jojoba, and hemp seed oil. The natural fragrance is made of an aromatic blend of citrus, clove, geranium, and ylang-ylang essential oils. This formula is great for spot-treating extra-dry areas like the elbows and the knees.

If you love the smell of fresh-cut watermelon in the summertime, we've found a product that mimics that same scene. You may not see watermelon on skin care ingredient lists often, but watermelon seed butter creates a lightweight and creamy texture that helps moisturize skin. This body cream uses natural AHAs that gently exfoliate the skin to reveal a bright, more even-toned complexion on the body. Pro tip: Don't use this body lotion right after you shave, as the exfoliating ingredients may trigger a burning sensation. 

Pro: Great for dull skin 

Con: Not the best for post-shave

The consistency is great for those hot summer days when your skin needs hydration but you cringe at the thought of layering on a thick body cream. 

Pro: Great for summer

If you're looking to cut down on plastic, this moisturizing sphere is a great place to start. Simply warm the stone with your hands and glide along warm skin (use right after a bath or shower for best results). The lotion will melt into your skin, leaving behind an ever-so-subtle scent of rose, frankincense, and neroli—notes often used in "skin"-type scents. You may smell the scent as you apply, but it won't stick on you like other strong fragrance blends.
