Lotion.

 Pros

• The fact that it’s Certified USDA Organic.
• The pretty packaging.
• The price point.
• That I can find it in my local Whole Foods!

Cons

• Scents are a little off.
• Like most truly naturally scented products, it starts out strong + fades after it soaks in.
• I wish they sold travel sets / sample sets!

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a lotion, this is one of the cleanest brands you’ll find! These are the closest natural or organic comparisons I’ve found to Bath + Body Works, or Victoria’s Secret’s lotion products! It’s also perfect if  you want something super light for summer! Personally, I found these to leave a slight residue on my skin + to be a little too light for me, but my Mom LOVES them! I honestly think I’m spoiled by body butters, oils + balms these days – but I wanted to Review these since I know many of you like the convenience of lotions! As far as the lotions specifically, the Fresh Fig + the Wild Berries are my faves, but I’m still on the fence about the scents in Nourish products in general. While they are fruity, + I enjoy the fact that none of them smell like your typical “tree-hugger” earthy scents (thank you!) – I have mixed feelings about them. I’ve tried all of them except the Unscented + Spiced Citrus ones, + some days I like them + others I’m not crazy about them. I’ve also noticed that they tend to be inconsistent across the range, meaning, that while I like one scent in the lotion, I may not in their other coordinating products. I love the fact that the packaging is totally gorgeous, the prices are right + that they are really easy to find. Definitely keep an eye out for their amazing online deals, usually around the holidays – these make fab little budget-friendly gifts, so stock up! I actually gave my friends + family Nourish Gift Sets for Christmas last year! So, overall this particular product is just a like – not a LOVE for me (but I wanted to love it!). All in all, I really heart the brand + am looking forward to more of their products! Thanks Nourish!
