Best Body Lotions to Perk Up Dull, Dry Skin

We tested 12 body lotions that our nonprofit partner, MadeSafe, deems environmentally friendly to find the ideal combination of hydration, ease of use, and (if scented) fragrance. We found that a classic hippie fave didn’t make the cut, while a new-to-us indie brand made three new fervent fans. 

If you have sensitive skin, be sure to take a look at the ingredients on the product page or packaging for anything (such as fragrance) that might aggravate conditions like eczema or rosacea. We checked for our favorite lotions on the website of another CR partner, SkinSafe, which scores products based on the lack of ingredients identified as allergens by the Mayo Clinic. Some products weren’t listed there.
