JUARA Skincare -
Best Natural Body Lotion Non Toxic Body Lotion

A lot of us want to soothe dry or aging skin with creams that don't include harmful chemicals. We prefer plant-based ingredients and other eco-friendly practices in the making of our moisturizers.

Our Top Picks

Fortunately, more and more companies are responding to these preferences and formulating more body lotions with natural ingredients that adhere to these higher standards.

1. Candlenut Body Creme

It's no mystery why JUARA's Candlenut Body Creme constantly comes up as our best-selling body lotion. It's a super hydrating body cream filled with nutrient-rich and aromatic botanicals.

The creamy - but non-greasy - formula melts into the skin, delivering a luxurious experience. You'll feel and see the difference when you smooth it on, helping to moisturize and soothe even very dry skin.

The best natural body lotion for dry skin

Nourishing natural and organic ingredients condition and protect the skin. This luxurious body butter contains candlenut oil, a natural ingredient often infused in our jamu-inspired skincare rituals. The candlenut (also known as kukui nut) contains plant compounds that have anti-inflammatory as well as antibacterial benefits.

And because candlenut oil is also high in Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids, it penetrates the skin barrier deeply and can even moisturize super dry and flaky skin.

This natural lotion will keep your skin hydrated

The avocado oil and carrot seed oil in this creamy body lotion has an additional hydrating effect. The emollient vitamin E they contain makes skin soft and supple.

Since these ingredients also act as antioxidants, they aid in protecting the skin against UV rays and free radicals, which are notoriously damaging to our cells. The ultraviolet rays from the sun cause a majority of our skin problems. Everything from fine lines to age spots is created or exacerbated by sun exposure.

This is also the best non-toxic body lotion if you're looking to swiftly erase and prevent stretch marks. It's easy for the skin to absorb this soothing formula, forever standing as a testament to this staple of the clean beauty movement.

So, whenever a body cream contains antioxidants, that's a bonus and a beauty boost. Really, what else could you ask for?

The Candlenut Body Creme is whipped up with indulgent illipe butter, giving it a fluffy texture that's a treat for the skin. This cream evens out your entire complexion and strengthens your skin so it's more supple and taut from head to toe.

With warm, subtle notes of tropical flowers and fruits like freesia, bergamot, rose, and blooming white jasmine, this uplifting scent is a true delight for the olfactory system. In other words, it smells amazing!

The scent also has a touch of fresh coconut that lets your mind wander away on an island retreat.

You may think that's a whole lot for a lotion to do, but we welcome you to try it for yourself. Plus, when you prep your skin with this lotion before complementing your skincare routine with our turmeric eye cream, you'll feel like you're on vacation every day. 

2. Burt's Bees Cocoa and Cupuaçu Butters Body Lotion

You may have seen this Burt's Bees body lotion during one of your weekly trips to Target where you go in for two things and come out with a cart full of pillows, paper plates, and other products you didn't know you needed.

Dry skin and rough skin will love this body lotion

While this lotion works for all skin types, it's designed for skin that's especially dry. It's packed with natural ingredients and has been clinically shown to moisturize skin for up to 24 hours.

It manages to be thick and creamy without the greasy residue. This soothing lotion absorbs quickly into healthy and extra dry skin alike, especially if you take your time to massage it in. So, what's the secret sauce that makes this natural cream work?

various skincare ingredients

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter is a rich emollient that provides temporary protection against harmful irritants when skin is exposed or injured. And perhaps more importantly, it provides sustained moisture by slowing trans-epidermal water loss by forming a barrier on the skin's surface.

This rich body lotion also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and even anti-allergenic properties that protect and soothe skin. But cocoa butter isn't working alone.

This lotion also softens skin with other helpful ingredients. The shea butter it contains is a natural fat from the karite tree that both nourishes dry patches and smooths skin.

This dry skin body lotion also comes in other varieties. There's the Aloe & Shea or Milk & Honey.

Burt's Bees has natural body lotions on the other end of the scent spectrum as well, which are made with a completely fragrance-free formula. So there really is a little something for everybody with this natural body lotion!

3. Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Body Lotion

Whether it was on dish soap, bar soap, or a multi-surface cleaner, you have probably seen the Meyer's label before. You may not have realized that they also make a cruelty-free natural moisturizer that's free of phthalates and artificial colors.

You can use this lotion daily for supple skin, after cleaning dishes, or any time your hands feel dry and depleted. Your skin absorbs it quickly and will feel soft and not sticky.

This natural cream is formulated with a multitude of hydrating and healing ingredients, such as organic shea butter and other nourishing oils.

Soothing ingredients beautifully blend together in this silky-smooth natural cream

As mentioned above, shea butter is a natural fat that brings moisture to the skin for a softening and smoothing effect. Sweet almond oil addresses dryness and irritation.

You can keep your skin hydrated year-round with this non-greasy formula that will give your body a healthy glow.

This hydrating body cream feels lightweight and airy due to the whipped shea butter that so easily melts into the skin, and it is considered one of the best body moisturizers you can readily find on store shelves.

5. Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter

This is another butter for your body that enhances natural beauty while improving skin elasticity.

The presence of pure natural oils leads to an overall feeling of luxury. You can increase the moisturizing effect if you layer it with one of your favorite body oils, like conditioning, unrefined coconut oil.

However, applying this clean body lotion by Josie Maran alone will prove to be deeply hydrating for even easily irritated skin.

The avocado oil in this recipe also helps nourish the skin, bringing in long-lasting hydration. The vitamins in avocado oil not only soften the skin but also address the loss of firmness.

By helping reverse some of the damage done by free radicals, the skin can begin to rebuild its structural support system.

6. Cocoa Shea Blissful Body Butter by OZNaturals

As we already noted above, cocoa butter is a moisturizing emollient that restores lipids and helps create a protective barrier to keep water in and unwanted irritants out.

This moisturizing body butter sinks into the skin when you layer it on without feeling oily. It's the best body cream for wrinkles, fine lines, and crepey skin.

This natural dry skin lotion will have you feeling replenished and rejuvenated

The high levels of vitamins E & A in this thick lotion help to alleviate various skin conditions. This product has helped some people with common chronic conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

The product is 99% natural and the company aims to source ingredients in a way that supports the community's economic health. This isn't your run-of-the-mill, non-toxic body lotion. It's full of natural essential oils.

7. Juice Beauty Green Apple Firming Body Moisturizer

Some people think natural skincare ingredients won't pack the same punch as non-organic ingredients. This beauty booster by Juice Beauty begs to differ.

The green apple extract contains malic acid. Malic acid helps remove the buildup of dead cells that creates dullness and can clog pores. It also can promote healing from head to toe. Because it features non-toxic ingredients and natural botanicals, this is a necessary addition to any good skincare routine.

This is an excellent feature for those with acne-prone skin, sensitive skin, aging skin, and more.

Green apple extract is also filled with firming peptides, fatty acids, and vitamin C. The peptides bring about a brightening of the skin, leading to that elusive glow we all want to get.

Vitamin C clarifies and fights early signs of aging with its potent antioxidant powers. The fatty acids help deliver all the other ingredients deep into the epidermis and dermis.

The end result is significantly smoother and softer skin than you started with.

Yes, even natural body lotions can help you with acne and clogged pores

We would be remiss if we didn't also mention the moisturizing effects of organic jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is a humectant (like hyaluronic acid and glycerin), which means it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, attracting moisture to the top layer of skin like a magnet. This is why humectants are great at providing hydration to dry, itchy skin.

8. Avalon Organics Nourishing Lavender Hand & Body Lotion

Lavender oil is one of the most popular essential oils out there. The lavender essential oil in this blend of botanicals aids the skin in a number of ways. 

Lavender can lessen irritation and redness in both sensitive and mature skin. So if you have specific skin concerns, this body balm can really help you out. Unlike many conventional lotions, this non-toxic body lotion doesn't contain harsh chemicals or harmful ingredients that can damage your skin.

The pure essential oils in this formula are also GMO-free

There are other beautifying botanicals (aloe vera, aloe vera juice, plant lipids, and beta-glucan are all present) that provide healing hydration and rebalance skin. Regardless of whether or not you know how it works, it will still leave your skin moisturized and supple.

This body lotion by Avalon Organics is chock-full of non-GMO-certified organic ingredients, so no pesticides were utilized along the way. It's important to note that this is also the best lotion for dry hands, so it's like getting two for one.

It is vegan and not tested on animals. In other words, your dog will want to give you a high five (or paw, rather) for your wise choice.

Say goodbye to dry skin and hello to a natural cream you'll absolutely love

If you suffer from dry or sensitive skin, the summer and winter months can be particularly harsh. It's critical to find a good natural body lotion that soothes your skin even when the weather is working against you.
