Lotion in a bar? Yup, that's right.
Now you can keep your skin looking healthy, soft, and hydrated, without all the plastic and chemicals. Instead, this bar is chalked full of natural plant oils, fatty acids, rich butters, and loads of vitamins.
Alternatively, popular lotions include things like: butylated hydroxyanisole, DMDM hydantoin, parabens, retinyl palmitate, triethanolamine, PEG, and polyoxyethylene.
They're the same chemicals connected to an increased risk of asthma, associated with immunotoxicity, and even linked to cancer. Many researchers say that lotions don't carry the levels of toxins needed to cause cancer, but in the long-term it can't be ruled out.
To use, rub the bar on damp skin and allow it to melt with the heat of your skin. Then, massage your skin to help it's absorption. A little goes a long way.

FD Market is a small woman owned business made by a team of passionate environmentalists.
The founder, Jackie, actually dropped out of college at 19 to pursue this store. She realized that her home town, The Lehigh Valley, had a major lack of sustainable resources, and she wanted to bridge the gap.
Now they have a zero waste storefront that sells all of their own sustainable USA made products. That are truly sustainable in all aspects, from the raw ingredients, to the manufacturing - not merely their end of life.
Before 1950, all home care items were packaged plastic. Today, over 120 billion plastic beauty products are annually. It doesn't have to be this way.
Most lotions are also filled with toxic chemicals, when they drain into our rivers and water systems, they agitate the hormone systems of wildlife and pollute the water.
They also usually contain palm oil, one of the number one contributors to rapid deforestation, wildlife extinction, and climate change.
Don't get me wrong; I like the concept of the lotion bar! I like how there are no synthetic ingredients and there's no plastic involved in this product!
But it's not as great as I was expecting. I bought the Sunny Citrus scent, and you can smell a little bit of it, but not much. Unfortunately I don't even smell the citrus scent when I apply it to my skin. Also, I feel like it works better after I get out of the shower and my skin is already damp; it goes on better. But if I apply it onto dry skin, it's really rough.
The other issue that I have is that it leaves a waxy feeling on my skin? Like, I will touch my arm or legs hours later, and I just feel this sticky wax sensation on my skin. It's a bit odd, but maybe it's just something I need to get used to.
Other than that, I'm going to keep using the lotion bar only because it's better than using CeraVe and all those other toxic lotion brands.
I use it up really quickly. It works best on arms and legs in a long swooping motion. It’s great at moisturizing but very greasy.
Very soft and hydrating it doesn’t spread well but I absolutely love it

I really love this product. At first I had never used this lotion bar and thought to give it a shot. I ended up loving it. At first it's hard to get used to with it not being liquid but then you get used to it. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. Even after a few hours my skin still feels soft. (The picture is after I've used it. Sorry for bad photo) Happy customer!
Hey Jaqueline! Thank you again for your support :) I'm really glad you liked your product enough to come back and leave a review. Lotion bars are definitely a unique product... but it seems like everyone who gives it a go is happily surprised. And the photo is just fine, gotta love naked packaging ha.
