Lightweight Body Lotion with Organic Safflower Oil
Silky-light care with safflower oil, D-panthenol and vitamin E
This lightweight body lotion with organic safflower oil is designed for skin that needs hydration and softness without a heavy or greasy finish.
Safflower oil provides lightweight conditioning, while glycerin and D-panthenol support comfortable hydration. Vitamin E provides antioxidant support for the oil phase.
Olivem 1000, together with a small amount of cetyl alcohol, creates a smooth emulsion, while xanthan gum provides additional stability and texture.
