11 Non-Toxic Body Lotion Options To Keep Your Skin Moisturized

By Natalie Arroyo Camacho, TDD Contributing Writer

If you’re someone who treats their body like a temple, it would make sense to opt for products that don’t contain harsh chemicals. For instance, you might only shop for the best non-toxic sunscreens or peruse through non-toxic perfumes when looking at fragrances. And considering that creams and lotions go on you every day, multiple times a day, you may also look to non-toxic body lotion.

To be sure, body lotions are one of the most important personal care products—since the dermis is your body’s largest organ—especially if you have dry skin. Body butter, cream, and lotion moisturize your skin to help it look healthy and smooth. However, not all body lotions are created using the same ingredients. Non-toxic body lotions free your skin from potentially harmful chemicals that may get absorbed into your bloodstream.

Since these creams usually contain organic ingredients, you can also think of them as natural body lotions. They might not always be fragrance-free, but their ingredient list tends to be free of synthetic fragrances. To ensure you’re purchasing a natural, non-toxic body lotion that’ll work to hydrate and moisturize your skin, you may want to look for something that contains

• Aloe vera
• Cocoa butter
• Coconut oil
• Hyaluronic acid
• Jojoba oil
• Mineral oil
• Sunflower seed oil

Luckily, we’ve rounded up some of the best products that check these boxes. Keep reading for the best non-toxic body lotions currently on the market.

Osea Undaria Collagen Body Lotion

This lotion is the real deal. It’s extremely hydrating, which is likely thanks to the hyaluronic acid. It’s also got undaria seaweed, which replenishes the skin’s moisture to keep it looking radiant. Another pro on the ingredients list is collagen, which helps to give the skin a plump appearance. Lastly, this product is fragrance-free—meaning it’s great for folks with sensitive skin.

Acure Everyday Eczema Lotion

My entire life I lived without any skin conditions. It wasn’t until last year, when I was 29, that I developed eczema on my hands. Needless to say, this is very painful because I use my hands a lot. Though nothing has helped it completely go away, I find that eczema lotions are amazing to soothe and moisturize my flaky skin. This pick has tons of hydrating ingredients, which is why it’s so great for folks with eczema.

Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand and Body Lotion

While Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand and Body Lotion is available in four different scents, the lavender coconut option is our favorite. The scent is tantalizing but not overwhelming. Plus, this lotion has organic and fair trade ingredients, including jojoba oil and coconut oil. According to the product page, this option is great for sensitive, dry, rough, or combination skin.

Whenever I visit someone’s home and I see Everyone products, I know that they’re highly discerning about what they put into and onto their body. This unscented lotion contains aloe vera, vitamin E, and coconut oil—aka it’s hydration station for your skin. And, considering you get a whole 32 ounces of product for $24, the Everyone Nourishing Lotion definitely gives you the most bang for your buck.

Pipette Baby Lotion

While this lotion is intended for babies, that certainly doesn’t mean that adults can’t use it. In fact, you very well might want to. That’s because this pick is fragrance-free, contains ceramides to boost your skin barrier, and squalane to retain moisture. One thing worth noting is that the Pipette Baby Lotion only comes in a 5.7-ounce bottle, so you might go through it quickly.

This luxurious body cream smells like a tropical vacation, which is thanks to the coconut. (Seriously, almost every single reviewer points out how “amazing” this smells.) Since it also contains avocado, it has a very creamy texture and is sure to soothe dry or flaky skin. Additionally, the formula features coffee and vitamin C to brighten your skin.

According to the Sephora product page, this lotion is good for loss of firmness and dry skin. Since it’s also vegan, clean, and sustainable, you can feel good if you use it, too. The formula contains niacinamide, which is great for anti-aging and fighting acne. My favorite thing about this, though, is that it has a lot of peptides and vitamins to keep your skin glowing.

Aside from having a chic bottle, the Cocokind Sake Body Lotion is chock full of good-for-skin ingredients. For instance, it contains sake—a fermented rice wine that’s jam-packed with enzymes and probiotic sugars. Additionally, it doesn’t contain fragrances, so it’s great for sensitive skin. This pick is also very lightweight, but don’t take that to mean that it’s any less hydrating than its thicker counterparts.
