NIVEA Naturally Good Organic Oat & Nourishment Body Lotion

This lotion is a godsend. Due to a medical issue I can no longer drink much water anymore, I went from drinking at least three litres of water a day, to barely being able to get in 500ml, as such, my skin is super dehydrated. When I first opened my package I was a bit underwhelmed with the bottle, the base was all dented up and it wasn't very visually appealing, however, after reading the bottle over I was greatly impressed, the bottle was all dented because it is made to be rolled up as you use more product, like when you roll up toothpaste to squeeze out every last bit, not to mention the bottle now uses 50% less plastic and is recyclable! I love brands that are earth conscious. I was also very happy to see that 98% of the ingredients used are natural. I am absolutely in love with this packaging and applaud Nivea for really taking into consideration the planet. The scent is very pleasant, there's no chemical undertones, its very light and slightly sweet and is not overpowering in any way, plus, I can no longer smell it after a few minutes of application which means it won't clash with any other scents I choose to wear. The first time I applied the lotion, I probably used more than I should have but as I mentioned above, my skin is so dehydrated it soaked it all up immediately, my skin felt instantly refreshed, smooth and my elbows weren't all scaly anymore. I didn't apply any more lotion for the next few days as the labeling states 48 hour moisture and I wanted to test this out, and it does last for 48 hours in a sense, although my skin wasn't all lovely and smooth or refreshed after 48 hours, it was still soft and nowhere near as dehydrated as it has been. Even after having a shower which normally makes my skin even drier, it still felt soft and moisturised. I now use this lotion daily and my skin is almost back to how it was when I was consuming three litres of water a day, I definitely only need to use a small amount of product now aswell. This lotion has absolutely been my lifesaver and I highly recommend everyone try if for themselves, especially if you have dry skin.

When I found out I was reviewing this product I was super happy, I'd been neglecting my legs, winter means long pants right, and they definitely needed some love. This product definitely proved the love.

I have always had very dry skin and struggled to find a moisturiser that would solve my issue without being ultra thick. This does exactly that. The creme has a nice light almost coconutty smell that is very pleasant and not overpowering. It's consistentency is again quite light and creamy and absorbs into the skin within minutes leaving it feeling smooth and renewed. The bottle states 48hrs of moisture and I have to say, having purposely left 2 days between usage, my legs did still look pretty good after 48 hrs, no dry patches or flakeness, definitely impressed. Now down to the new less plastic, squeeze and roll me bottle......I love it. Okay I can see that as it empties its not going to stand pretty with my other bottles but I don't find that a problem, this one will be living my Bedside table where I'm happy for it to lie down. I love the fact it uses 50% less plastic, that makes me feel a little but greener, and the fact I can roll this like a tube of toothpaste means less wastage in the bottle, great work Nivea. So happy that I got to trial this and can definitely see it becoming a regular in my beauty routine.

Only got to try it for a week so far, the bottle states that it used 50% less plastic in packaging and the bottle is very soft, I would probably preferred they find a different material all together instead of less plastic. The product itself was very creamy and takes a few seconds to rub into the skin to be rid of the white streaks. The texture is quite creamy, skin felt OK afterwards, not obviously more moisturised but may need longer period to make much difference, but definitely not feeling dry so will be happy to continue using!

Body moisturiser is one of the few beauty items that I cannot live without. I have really dry skin, especially on my lower legs, and if I do not moisturise regularly, then my legs look like they have a white film on them and the skin might crack. However, this moisturiser from Nivea is very effective, and unlike other moisturisers with similar claims, I think it really lives up to its 48 h moisture claim. I decided to buy the “Dry to Very Dry Skin” version of this moisturiser when I was in the supermarket looking for a moisturiser that does not come in a bottle with a pump. I think pumps are unnecessary, produce a lot of waste, and after they stop working there is always still a lot of moisturiser left in the bottle. Not only does the Nivea Naturally Good Organic Oat and Nourishment moisturiser not have a pump on the bottle, it actually has a very cleverly designed new type of bottle that uses 50 % less plastic than regular Nivea moisturiser bottles, and that is so flexible that you can roll it up and squeeze out the last of the moisturiser at the end of its life. Well not “all” of the moisturiser, but a lot more than you get out of a regular bottle. I always cut open all bottles, and tubes, etc. with moisturiser to get the last bits out, and cutting open this thin and flexible bottle is a lot easier than cutting open a standard moisturiser bottle. The moisturiser has a nice, subtle smell, with the familiar “Nivea Creme Smell” clearly present. It is quite thick, probably because I went with the version for extra dry skin, but it is still easy to squeeze out of the bottle, and it massages into the skin very easily. While the moisturiser might not be much different from other body moisturisers, Nivea have definitely won me over with their new bottle design! I think using less plastic is a great idea, and also wasting less product left in the packaging at the end is great from a sustainability perspective. I have tried to find solid moisturisers to stop using bottles for moisturisers altogether, but I haven’t found one yet that I like. This clever new bottle design is definitely a step in the right direction!

I picked this up in the Vault, thanks BR! I use moisturiser every single day on my arms and legs so I always like to try out new ones. When I saw this in the vault I just had to give it a go.

It comes in a 350ml squishy bottle lol and what I mean by that is it is super soft plastic that you can roll up to get it all out.....great idea plus it says 50% less plastic which is awesome.  This body lotion is targeted towards dry to very dry skin which I most definitely have.

It is a thick, white consistency. A little goes a long way with this, it absorbs well and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky at all. It has a lovely, delicate scent which I like.....it smells like the normal nivea but with something a bit extra.

It makes my skin feel hydrated but the 48hr hydration claims.....not sure about that. I would certainly not skip a day applying it. While it doesn't blow me away I do like using it but I don't think I would purchase it again because it is just a standard moisturiser and I have other favourites that I prefer.

I have always been a fan of Nivea products they are a product brand that doesn’t seem to disappoint, always does what it says majority of the time. They have an amazing range now that suits all skin types. But this Organic Oat feels so nice, you can’t go wrong with it, lasts for the duration of the day, doesn’t stay sticky. Just feels great x

I have used the avocado body lotion in this range, and really liked it. This one is great too! It's super hydrating, and also works well as a hand cream on my hands, which are fairly dry. It's a new favourite of mine!

Stoked to get this! But highly annoyed the courier that delivered woke my child haha.

Love the packaging, the bottle is so easy to use and is almost flexible so it seems like its easier to get product out. Love the flip top lid and the fact i can store it upside down when im nearing the end of the bottle.

Product is thick but not overly so, lightly scented but not with anything i can place. Feels quite hydrating but i wouldnt say its 48 hours worth. 24 hours at best.

Lovely lotion, would consider repurchasing if on special but otherwise, probably not!

This is a really effective and soothing moisturiser. I get some really dry and uncomfortable patches of skin on my legs, and this really helped to keep them smooth and hydrated. I love products with oat, as my skin can be quite prone to irritation and the oat calms everything down.

The lotion is reasonably thick, it took a little bit of rubbing in to get it to absorb. The smell was nice, definitely not a strong smell.

The packaging - hmm I love the idea of using less plastic, so that is a very big plus for me, and I love the idea of being able to get all of the product out by rolling it up as I use it. Its just a bit of an awkward shape, as when you start using it the bottle falls over if you try and stand it upright on a shelf. This is due to the plastic being flexible, and it loses its shape as you use the lotion. This is fine if it is in a drawer, so overall not a huge deal when you think of the fact less plastic is used.

Love the feeling after using the moisturiser, my hands feel really soft afterwards, it doesn’t leave a greasy feeling which is what I like best..Makes my legs feel so nice after showering and the smell is really nice and refreshing..Love the idea of the soft roll up bottle, will be able to get every last drop and not have any wastage like most moisturisers.
