We love products like this. If you have perpetually dry skin like myself, I am always on the hunt for a remedy. I recently tried this Everyday Coconut Body Hydrating Lotion. The lotion has no synthetic fragrance, it's paraben free, vegan, no animal testing, gluten free, handcrafted & unrefined. It's a very light cream but it leaves a silky finish. So if you like a heavy, thicker substantial cream, this would not be for you. The scent is nice and soft and it does not smell like you just packed up at the beach and you have leftover suntan lotion all over. Not at all.
This company was started by a Togolese native in West Africa, "as a way to generate funds to conduct community enhancement projects in his home country and other West African nations in order to reduce poverty and gender inequality." They are using their indigenous coconut oil to raise money for these projects. So, what kinds of things have they done with these proceeds? Amazing things.
- They reduced the maternal death rate in Togo by providing comprehensive prenatal care to 1,000 women every year
- Bicycle for Education Project - 5,300 bikes were distributed
- Reforestation Project - 25,000 trees planted
- School for Supplies Project - 8,000 students were recipents
I picked this up at Whole Foods for $10.99 for a whopping 32 FL OZ. It's a large cool looking bottle with a big dispenser pump.
Thanks Lisa!!
