Avocado Lotion for Face and Body- Mild Formula, Paraben-Free

Lightweight lotion made with cold-pressed avocado oil

• highly absorbent
• suitable for the body and face
• great for almost all skin types
• made with cold-pressed avocado oil
• made with plant-based, earth-derived, and biodegradable ingredients
• does not leave your skin feeling oily or heavy

Avocado oil is similar to your skin’s natural complexion, making our lotion an easy and quick way to make your skin feel nourished and hydrated. This similarity means your skin’s barrier more quickly absorbs the nutrients within- dry and cracked skin is no problem! Helps balance your skin. It’s a perfect general-use lotion that acts fast and doesn’t leave you feeling greasy. The avocado oil we use is cold-pressed and as unrefined as possible. Contrast this with refined oils which retain little nutritional value and are more likely to clog pores.

• paraben & formaldehyde-free (aka dmdm, dea, germaben, germall, urea)
• no “emulsifying wax” (generic misleading name, can contain dioxane)

Why Decylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Phenylpropanol?

Challenge testing has proven our usual preservatives, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, are not strong enough to prevent the growth of dangerous bacteria in cream products. As an alternative to parabens and formaldehyde releasers, which we refuse to use, we found that using Decylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Phenylpropanol adequately prevented the proliferation of dangerous pathogens during lab challenge testing. In addition to their antimicrobial properties, our preservatives enhance the performance of our lotion. They help increase overall efficacy, softening, combability, and feel.
