Body Lotion

On the hunt for a sustainable body lotion that actually moisturizes well? We gotchu. With our lightweight, hydrating formula of mango butter and six different ultra-moisturizing oils, this zero waste, refillable body lotion is about to be your new go-to for silky-smooth skin from head to toe. This lotion doesn’t just sit on your skin - it absorbs quickly and deeply, hydrating throughout the day (or night), actually improving skin elasticity, and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin ailments such as eczema and psoriasis - all while being super creamy and totally non-greasy. 

Plus, you really can’t beat the fresh, clean scents that’ll leave a smile on your face with zero artificial, overwhelming fragrances.

Does this lotion have sun protection? We cannot guarantee an SPF value for this body lotion, but the natural ingredients (particularly the avocado, raspberry seed, and sesame oils) do contain sun protection properties! So if you’re looking for a daily body lotion with SPF, give this one a try!

Size

Available in an 8oz or 16oz glass bottle.

Ingredients

Distilled Water, Mango Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Jojoba, Raspberry Seed Oil, Sesame Oil, Stearic Acid, Emulsifying Wax (Vegan), Pure Essential Oils, Optiphen ND

To Use

Pump a small amount of lotion into your hands (you really do need just a small amount!), and massage gently into your skin. Reapply as needed throughout the day. 

Pro-tip: Give your cuticles some extra TLC! Massage a small drop of revitalizing skin serum into each of your cuticles and the skin around your nails before bed, then apply a little bit of this moisturizing body lotion all over your hands to seal in extra moisture. In just one night your cuticles will thank you! (Take it from someone who’s constantly picking at the skin around her nails!) Apply nightly for best results.

Packaging + End of Life

Our zero waste refillable body lotion is packaged in a glass bottle with a white plastic pump. 

When you’re running low, order another bottle here, but select “Refill.” We’ll ship your new bottle without a pump - just with an aluminum cap - and we’ll include a return label for your empty one so you can send it back at no cost. Simply transfer your pump to the new bottle, pack the empty bottle in the box, and send it back to us. We’ll sanitize and reuse the bottle.

(If you're within our local delivery radius, just leave your empty bottle on your porch on delivery day!)

Upgrading from 8oz to 16oz bottles? Select the “New Bottles” option so we include new pumps as well!

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our zero waste refillable body lotion so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

• We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. In 2022, we saved all of our trash for four months, and wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: in four months, we only produced two pounds of trash. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
• We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
• We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.
