Now owned by Unilever, a UK based firm, the St. Ives brand has gone though some changes in the past few years. It was always a trusted brand, but ran into some issues with their face scrub a few years back. As far as this cream goes, the scent and performance is superior to most other lotions on the market IMO. It absorbs quickly and leaves no stains or residue. It softens better than most lotions too; meaning I do not need to use it as often as other brands. What I don't like: non-disclosure of natural vs synthetic ingredients and scents. They are all rated GRAS, and many of the ingredients are also used in packaged foods. A plain language label would be appreciated. Of the 19 ingredients disclosed, only three are rated as less-than-good. All other components rate good-to-excellent, in the manuals, in terms of safety and performance. NOTE: For people who choose a vegan life-choice, the hydrolyzed elastin may be sourced from fish. You must contact the manufacturer for complete data. In the meantime, this is one product that I do use on a semi-regular basis and recommend it for use above all other offerings on the market in this price range. Read more

St Ives brand makes best lotions on market from all brands. I tried them all. I have somewhat dry skin. This lotion moisturises well for 24 hrs. When i rub it in after shower I can smell chlorine being pushed out by this lotion which tells me it get instantly absorbed. Moisture stays for long time in skin and its not greasy. All other lotions either dry too fast or are greasy and vasoline based. This brand is so much different. This is second best St Ives lotion. Best was St Ives Silk which for some strange reason they retired. It was be far best lotion EVER! Read more

This lotion is amazing. Healthiest ingredients by far, best price, and actually moisturizes better than all the many, many lotions I've used in the past. Read more

It’s not greasy at all. Hard to find in the stores anymore so I buy them on Amazon in bulk Moisturizing: Great Scent: Nice/ unscented Skin feel: Not greasy at all! Read more

This was my go to lotion for years and years and I stopped being able to find it in stores! So glad I was able to stock up at a good price. It’s no nonsense and leaves skin so soft and hydrated. It’s effective and long lasting and has minimal clean fragrance - nothing too heavy just like I prefer! Read more
