During winter, it is important to choose a body lotion that is hydrating and free of harmful chemicals. Some ingredients to avoid in body lotions include fragrance, alcohols, parabens, and phthalates
. Instead, look for lotions that contain natural and nourishing ingredients such as ceramides, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, aloe vera, argan oil, or cucumber
. Some recommended body lotions for winter include Nécessaire The Body Lotion, Naturium Bio-Lipid Restoring Moisturizing Body Lotion, Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion, Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream, Charlotte Tilbury Magic Body Cream, Osea Undaria Algae Body Butter, and AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion
. It is also important to avoid bubble bath products and choose lotions without the word “fragrance” in the ingredient list
. EWG VERIFIED® lotions are a good option for those looking for products that meet health and transparency criteria
