Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Body Lotion

Hi everyone! How are you this week? I am quite busy this week so sometimes I forget to drink enough water and take care of my own skin. Therefore, my skin is so dry and rough. Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Body Lotion come to the rescue. I'm so happy to be able to share this review to you because this body lotion is good enough to rave. Want to know why? Just keep on reading.

Remember Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Hand Cream? Do you love it? Benton will launch a highly moisturizing body lotion from the same line as the hand cream. I don't use hand cream that much, but I know people around me who don't want to change that one for other product. They say the hand cream is that good. Well then, I expect the body lotion will do magic too. I'm so lucky Benton choose me to be one of their reviewers because I just need this so much.

Before we move further, I want to tell you interesting fact. Benton is one of K-Beauty Company that is very well-known around the world, including in my country Indonesia. A lot of people are loyal Benton users, they keep repurchasing the products. I may not try enough Benton products, but I'm in love with their philosophy. Benton desires to restore our skin back to original healthy condition with healthy recipe. They don't use harmful ingredients and they produce the products in small batch, so they could always deliver a freshly made skincare to us. And do you know Benton is inspired by and named after the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". BENjamin butTON, the man who grows younger with time. Yes, a good movie, that one. After knowing this company better, let's take a look at the new body lotion.

Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Body Lotion comes in an attractive golden yellow paper card box. Inside we find squeezing tube in the same color which I love. That metallic sheen makes it so special because I never have a body lotion in golden yellow tube. What a stupid reason but I don't care. Hahaha... I even put this in my office so I can reach it whenever I want. It's bigger than I expected and contains 250ml of product.

Some key ingredients in this product are Ecocert certified Shea Butter, USDA certified Coconut Oil and 5 Hyaluronic Acid Complex. Shea Butter is vegetable fat extracted from the nut of shea trees. I often find Shea Butter in safe moisturizing skincare products, even on DIY products. Coconut Oil is also one of the most used ingredients to keep skin moisturized. While 5 Hyaluronic Acid Complex is a mix of 5 types of Hyaluronic Acid in different molecular sizes to lock moisture, hydrate our damaged skin, and protect skin from harmful external stressor.

Other remarkable ingredients are Chamomilla Recutita Flower Water, Jojoba Seed Oil and Ceramide NP which soothe rough skin and help to maintain oil-water balance. It is also FREE of artificial fragrance, silicon oil and PEG surfactants.

Because only safe ingredients they use in the product, we can also use this not only as body lotion but also face moisturizer. What so surprising is this product safe to be used by whole family, regardless of gender or age. Yes, kids too. It's dermatology tested and free of irritations, coloring and other harmful ingredients. Awesome! But I want to suggest like trying other new product, we better try in small area of the skin first just to see any reaction could be occur to super sensitive skin.

The texture is not too runny, because when I open the lid the product is not coming out unless I squeeze the tube. That's a good news because I hate messy product. It is a thick gel that is quite stiff when first put in the skin but turn to be quite slippery few seconds after. I guess the coconut oil melts when having contact with my body temperature. I thought that amount on the back of my hand is enough for one hand. I'm so wrong. That amount is enough for both hands or whole face. It leaves wet feeling for a short time and then dries and not sticky leaving skin feels smooth and supple. It feels comfortable on my patchy, dried and rough skin.

This lotion is recommended for rough and sensitized skin, skin with poor oil balance, dry and sensitive skin with itchiness, skin that need instant hydration and vitalization, skin that need moisture product without tackiness, and skin that prefers a mild natural scent over artificial fragrance.

As we know that product with no artificial fragrance usually smells terrible. Perfume or artificial fragrance is one of allergic trigger for sensitive skin. But we can't deny that the smell is sometimes being the key factor of people choose over a product. Who doesn't love a product that smells wonderful? And who want to use product with horrible scent unless it's a magic one?

This body lotion may be using no artificial fragrance, but don't worry, it smells okay. Honestly, I like it. There is no bad scent from the shea butter or coconut oil meaning the ingredients are in good quality. If you ever use extra virgin coconut oil you might be able to imagine how it smells. It's almost like subtle coconut oil but the scent only lingers for few minutes then fading. Leaving sheer smell of coconut and shea butter underneath that only appear once we put our nose 1cm from where we put the lotion. If you love natural scent, you will love it. Really. But if you are a strong perfume person, you might want to dilute one or two drops of essential oil (that safe to use to body) in a batch of lotion.

I do comparison after 10 minutes using this lotion. My left hand is the one with lotion and my right hand is the one without. We can see the left one is more subtle and smooth than the right one. It gives immediate hydration. Then I search for driest spots on my body and I choose to try on my feet and my elbow. I have disgusting heels I know, pardon me. But I think this is the best spot to show whether this lotion works or not. While my elbow is one of my neglected body parts that is usually feel itchy when too dry. Left side is picture from 6 March 2019 and right side is picture from today 15 March 2019. I scrub my feet and my elbows after taking first picture and begin my journey with the lotion. I apply the product immediately after shower and towel dry and reapply every night before bed.

I believe the pictures show the result clearly. My feet are now not as disgusting as before. That's a wonderful result in 9 days. As for the elbows, I feel the skin is a lot softer and smoother. With a good hydration level, the itchiness is also gone.

I tried this on my face for 3 days, just for the sake of my curiosity. I don't feel anything other than hydration on my skin which fulfill the purpose of creation of this product, to lock moisture on our skin. Well, it might deliver wonderful result after few months, but sadly I still have a lot of face moisturizer at the moment. It does not give any bad effect either. There is no breakout, no itchiness, nothing bad happen to my face. Just so I know that this lotion is a multi-tasker and good for travel. One for all. 

I love this body lotion and I surely will recommend you to try it. Good job Benton for creating this wonderful product.
