Organic Product Review - Giovanni Hydrate Body Lotion

Well, I’m happy to report some good news regarding the brand Giovanni.  I did not have a great experience with their hair care so I was skeptical to try their body lotion.  I am pleased that I did.

It has a creamy texture to it.  It feels like lotion though, not cream, but it is not thin like some lotions either.  It rubs in very nicely, evenly and doesn’t remain sticky again, like some lotions tend to do.  A few minutes later, it has been full absorbed and my skin feels soft and smooth.  

The smell is nice too.  I got the Raspberry Winter which smells just like what you’d expect, raspberries.  It’s not as strong as a plain raspberry scent, perhaps it has something else in it, but it’s definitely fruity.

Bottom line: very pleased with this lotion.  While most of the ingredients are labeled as organic, there are some towards the bottom that clearly are not, such as Polysorbate 60, Carbomer, Dimethicone, and Hydroxymethylglycinate.  These could just be fancy names for vitamins for all I know, but I do know they aren’t labeled as organic.  That would be the only negative aspect to the lotion.

I give it an A!
