essano Body Lotion

My colleague brought this for me for my birthday this year. It is absolutely divine!!! It leaves skin so smooth and the scent is beautiful. It was a very pleasant surprise! And the fact that it is organic... how awesome! Would totally recommend trying this if you haven't already.

I was skeptical to try this product as I did not love the face wash, however I love to support New Zealand business so really wanted to give the essano brand a second chance.

As with the face wash I absolutely love love love the packaging. Beautiful brown bottles with rose coloured labels and pumps, I mean who doesn't love pumps on their cosmetic products (as long as you can close to take away).

The first thing upon trying this lotion was the smell, divine! Think pretty talc crossed with rose petals with an undertone of Musk/wood (I have never tried any other Rosehip products so this may be the Rosehip smell?!).

The consistency of this lotion is really lovely. Light and easy to manipulate over your skin, quick absorbing, not greasy and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The hydration seems to last well into the day so you do not get that dry skin look and need to reapply (halfway through the day).

This body lotion is also paraben, sulfate, phthalates, colours & petrochemical (whatever that is) free so I would imagine it would also be great on sensitive skin.

This is now my body lotion of choice! Thanks essano for being Kiwi and amazing.

After reading the awesome reviews about this brand I brought an Essano trial kit from Countdown, which included this body moisturiser.

Other products in the trial kit included Rosehip oil, cleanser, night creme and moisturiser.The little bottles are so cute, and the trial sizes a perfect size.

I tend to get dry and sensitive skin (eczema prone) that tends to react to different products, so this was a great way to try all of these products to see if they were suitable. I was so excited, based on what everyone was saying about these products.

First of all, I love the packaging- so stylish and looks like a high end brand, when its so affordable. The pump is great, and makes it so easy to use. I much prefer pumps, over tubs of body moisturisers - more convenient and hygienic!

My skin is very dry, and my legs can get so scaly if I don't moisturise enough. After a shower, I pump some of the moisturiser in my hand and slather it over my body. It is a perfect consistency and drys easily. I love how you don't feel sticky afterwards like some moisturisers.

The hint of rosé is lovely and very subtle.

My sensitive, dry skin just drinks this up. It has really helped to hydrate and moisturise my skin, my skin feels baby soft and looks healthy. I much prefer this to my Aveeno moisturise now!

Such a great product, yet so affordable. Ths brand is amazing and their products are quickly becoming my holy grail products!

Would definitely recommend for dry, sensitive skins. Five stars!

This lotion has an awesome scent which lasts nearly all day. I have found it to be really moisturising and it melts easily into my skin. The price is really reasonable and the packaging doesn't look cheap and supermarkety.

Im so obsess with this product :) I love using this lotion everyday. The smell of the lotion smells amazing , not to stronge just a perfect scent. The only reason im using this cause I am pregnant & im soon gonna get stretch marks around body so this body lotion does keep my skin feeling hydrated & smooth . I would definitely recommend this product for everyone & to be mothers. :)

I really enjoyed the smell of this product - and I loved how it soaks in so quickly. Feels fantastic and smooth to use without leaving an oily after feel. Definitely moisturises my skin well. Packaging is lovely and great value for money!

I've been using this after winning an Essano products prize pack. Lotion isn't something that I typically use although I always have it for a quick hydration fix, when I don't have time to lounge around in my bath robe waiting for the slow absorbing oils/creams I usually use to soak in.

The look and feel of this lotion formula is much like any other, it absorbs quickly and the scent I love it's smoothly sweet & spicey, reminds me of ginerbread yum!

So as far as lotion goes I think this is sufficiently hydrating (for a 'normal' skin type anyway) when applied in the morning and again at night. Sufficent yes, desired level of hydration no, but that's maybe just a preference thing plus moisturising is something I don't really want to have to do more than once a day.

The fact that this moisturiser has rosehip, jojoba and shea butter in it makes me very happy to use it, beautiful skin care ingredients amongst my favorites. I really like this body lotion more so than others i've tried, it's quality & value for money. (Not that I purchased this one but I'm likely to in future.)

This is quite good as a body lotion but not as moisturising as the body oil. I have been using this as well as the oil for when I can't deal with the dribble problem with the oil :) It works well and smells great- a bit like chocolate to me.The pump dispenser is excellent and easy to use.It is Vegan and organic and New Zealand made = :))

I purchased the trial pack as I wanted to try the cleanser (that’s another review). The trial pack has body lotion, night crème, cleanser, moisturiser and oil, which is how I came across this product.

It is a vegan body lotion with some organic ingredients and states it on the bottle. The trial size is now done in a small tube, it used to be a small pump bottle, both are good for travelling with but may not have enough in it for more than about 2 days. The full size is a brown tinted plastic bottle with a dark pink rose coloured label with a pump top.

It is a white cream lotion that glides on. It is light texture. It moisturises well and my skin does not feel dry and like it is missing something. Nor is it greasy from too much product.

It is scented but this is due to the oils in the moisturiser rather than additional perfumes. It smells different from the rest of the range and has a cinnamon scent rather than the rosehip scent of the other products.

Will I rebuy this in full size? Yes, once I have finished my collection of other lotions and butters, so I can justify it.

I've had dry skin my whole life, and tried many lotions and potions. So after reading a few reviews and finding this on sale I pop it in my trolley and trundle it off home. I put it in the bathroom with the masses of other body moisturisers. A long hot bath after a hard day at work I reach in a find this lotion, in its brown plastic pump bottle and read the label, deeply moisturises, intensive hydrating yeah yeah yeah vegan, natural and cruelty free ticks all the boxes. I smirk at myself thinking when will I stop trying to soften my dry skin. So I squirt some of this white soft lotion in the palm of my hand and take one look at it and think oh it's not thick enough I stand there looking at it, and as it starts to warms up the fragrance drifts up and I first get a whiff of a soft buttery scent followed by a hint of coco and a mild vanilla rose a warming scent I want to eat it ha ha. I fall in love with the scent there and then, and think if it works half as good as it smells. So I slowly rub this soft silken lotion on my arm with anticipation and its quickly absorbed, my skin drinking every drop and soothing every inch of my skin and my senses, I squeal in total delight and then work it all over my whole body. This lotion doesn't leave me sticky just soft and soothed, I'm moisturised:) smooth and supple. This at the end of the day this wonderful lotion is so good for my skin and senses. This is mine it's certainly worth the money x
