If you're looking for a very moisturizing, emollient lotion, this is not for you. If you just love the smell of patchouli, this IS for you!
I've become more cautious about how much and when I use this lotion after a number of people (including a stranger at the store!) have commented on my scent. Mind you, this is long after I've applied it and honestly can no longer detect the smell myself! And, as another reviewer mentioned, the scent does pass on to clothing...people have been able to smell patchouli on me even when I'm not wearing the lotion, due to the scent transfering onto my sweater or coat. I LOVE the smell of patchouli oil, but realize not everyone shares my affection for it. ;)
I was seeking a nice, non-oily lotion to soothe my dry hands in this cold winter weather. I actually had the chance to try before buying (at my local co-op). The bad part is, I was fooled into thinking this product worked. It appears to moisturize for about 5 minutes, but I've now come to realize that after those few, spare minutes, I must reapply. It leaves a sheen of oil on the skin, which makes me think that the ingredients aren't being absorbed. My skin still feels very dry. The fragrance is simply OVERPOWERING. I love patchouli, and I even bought the lavender scented lotion, and they are both extremely loud - some of the most highly scented perfumes I have ever used. The first time I applied it at home, my boyfriend asked if I had sprayed perfume. I am so very disappointed in this product. Never again will I purchase anything from Dr. Bronner's. I think there is so much fragrance in this, it is actually stinging my skin.
I don't think I've ever tried a better lotion. Wonderful product that I will continue to buy!
I like patchouli and lime, felt the lotion was a bit watery and seeing that as the first ingredient I can see why. I make my own lotion and wanted to try this. If you like a watery lotion this would be fine, I prefer a thicker, richer lotion. The smell lasts quite a while and passes to clothing.
This lotion feels light but moisturizes thoroughly and smells delicious. Good for hands as well as body - highly recommended!
