When you are looking for a quality lotions or cleansers look for ingredients derived from plants and vegetables. Quality Lotions contain nourishing oils and butters such as

  Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils: Essential Oils are extracted from flowers and herbs and are natural; however, there are some that should not be used on the skin (e.g. clove oil). Also, some essential oils should be avoided while in the sun and if you are pregnant. For some people, fragrance or essential oils may cause skin irritations. We believe fragrance is absolutely unnecessary in your skincare products.
