I want a vegan product... and I'd like something "natural," too, with few extra chemicals.

So far I've tried Kiss My Face (both the peach and the lavendar). Both smelled too chemical for me.

I've also tried Avalon Organics line, but it seems kinda "herby" (don't know how else to describe it).

I'm looking for something that smells yummy and non-mediciney, like the Bath & Body Works line.

Anyone know of a "natural organic" line that smells delish, too??

I like Nature's Gate..I *think* all of their lotions are vegan,but I know that the "original" and "extra moisturizing" are. They're pretty non-smelly. EccoBella makes some nice ones.

I sometimes add a bit of essential oil to the Nature's Gate stuff.

Alba Organics has a new "tropical" line that is scrumptious!

If you like aromatherapy scents, Arbonne has nice body lotions with those. My favorite is the awaken. If you'd like a sample let me know. (Yes, that was a cleverly disguised shameless business plug....)

I've just been using Jason Vitamin E Hand and Body Lotion. It was like $6, is 70% organic and frangrance-free (so you can use perfume or just add some frangrance to the lotion). Not greasy or sticky either :)

Nature's gate is from Unilever, which tests the rest of its products on animals. I wouldn't support them.
The Alba Botanica tropical stuff is fantastic, also the vanilla from Ecco Bella. Aubrey Organics also does some excellent organic moisturizers although for some stupid reason they add COLLAGEN to some that are not tersted on animals.... ???

you can use coconut oil. buy the stuff at an indian market and it's less expensive.

Yes, but smell it first! Due to fumigation and shipping, it often sits at customs and I once got one that smelled like TAR :( So now I get ones from Indonesia; Extra Virgin Coconut Oil gets my vote; it's like $7.00 a jar that will last most bodies 3-6 months, depending...

If you have access to a Trader Joe's, they just came out with an orange-scented body lotion. Works very well, it's vegan, and it's cheap!

I'm really liking the Alba Botanica original moisturizing lotion this year. It has a nice, light scent, and it absorbs very well without a heavy layer lingering around on the top of the skin (which I've had with the KMF ones before).

Lush make a number of moisterisers, and they all smell delicious.

I use the lotions that my sister makes. It's not organic but the ingredients are pronounceable and most of them can be found in a kitchen and then you add your own scent.
