NIVEA Pure & Natural Body Lotion

This is a nice moisturiser and great for sensitive skin, but not my favourite moisturiser. The scent was ok, and it certainly kept my skin moisturised.

I picked this up to give it a try, turns out its not for me.

For a pure and natural body lotion, it wasn't a natural smell whatsoever, smelt chemically and fake "natural" if you know what I mean.

The price of $8 is pretty standard for a supermarket brand, I found the shape of the bottle made it look like it had much more than it really did. I really liked the pump though, it gave you a good amount of product when you pumped it, then you could turn it to lock it so little toddlers, or when your travelling it wouldn't spill from the top.

I found myself having to use a fair bit of this to get the desired moisturizing feel, and it certainly didn't last long at the end of the day my arms would be dry and legs have scale issues. So it wasn't a deep nourishment, maybe that is due to the lotion consistency, slick and thin.

It was easy enough to rub in, but I will not be repurchasing

I am great fan of nivea brand and proving great stuff of skin. When I saw Nivea pure and natural body lotion I couldn't stop myself not to purchase it.after use I was disappointed because it didn't absorb properly and leave my skin greasy and dry. Didn't do anything for me.

I have eczema-prone and sensitive skin, so I am fussy when it comes to choosing a moisturiser.

Positives: This product has a sturdy bottle with pump dispenser, which makes it easy to apply straight out of the shower. It has a lovely silky feel and rubs into my skin cleanly and smoothly. It is easy to spread and leaves a slightly cool and tight feeling to my skin. It settles after a couple of minutes, and leaves my skin feeling soft and moist. It is easy to use on my entire body, and during the trial time my skin did not show any adverse reactions.

Negatives: The product has a perfume. While it is quite a nice scent, I find it unnecessary and worry that the perfume would eventually irritate my skin. One of the moisturising ingredients is isopropyl palmitate, which can sometimes cause skin irritations. Also, since isopropyl palmitate is derived from palm trees, overuse of it could strip rainforests and endanger the lives of orangutans. I do not want my beauty routine to be harmful to the environment or animals, so I would not buy this product. Another thing of note- although Argan Oil is highlighted on the labelling, it is eighth on the ingredient list. This tells me that it is not actually one of the ingredients that matters the most in this product, and it is possibly below the 1% line. If Argan Oil was an essential ingredient for me, I would buy a different product.

I got a sample of this at a fashion/lifestyle expo, and I'm guna say the same about this as I did the "pure and natural" face cream. Why on earth do they put Parfum in a product marketed as "pure and Natural"?? I don't get it. Bit odd, Nivea. However it feels nice on my skin and certainly cheaper than what I usually buy at the body shop. Not baaaad for a supermarket product, but I'd never buy it, and it's not as good as my body shop lotion, either. You get what you pay for, I guess.
