Body lotion is a skin care staple, but do you know what’s inside your favorite container? Once you do a little sleuthing, you might be surprised to find some less-than-ideal ingredients—ingredients that make their way into your bloodstream every time you slather lotion on your skin. The good news is it’s easier than ever to avoid the bad stuff and reach for the good stuff, like essential oils, shea butter, coconut oil, and other nourishing-yet-natural ingredients.
