6 stars!!!
This lotion is my all time favorite! I use it on my entire body. It is lightweight, fragrance free, and a great value!!! It has made my skin brighter, and helped with dry patches. It is easy to apply, just pump and apply! All natural ingredients make this the perfect lotion for chronic skin conditions.

BUY IT!!
i am so glad i decided to purchase this product to help soothe a terrible sunburn! my skin was not only in pain but itching like crazy! this was the first product listed when i searched for collodial oatmeal lotion. at first the price kind of made have second thoughts but i decided to read the reviews & decided to take a chance. i was in dire need of relief & could not have been more pleased with the overnight delivery arriving at my door by 430am! upon arrival with a different item in my order, i noticed the pump was in an open position but looked past it as it could have happened during transport & being shooken around. to my surprise, it had not been used. i immediately began pumping for lotion to soothe my ailing skin! upon first dispensed product, the lotion did not appear too thin & water. it was not too thick either. it was the perfect consistency. the fragrance is so mild i barely noticed it. i smelled a hint of oatmeal. the lotion lathers well & does not feel sticky nor greasy. it does not leave a white cast or makes your skin look patchy. my skin felt relieved & soothed. my itchiness felt minimal after awhile. my skin felt very soft & supple. i did not feel like i had to keep reapplying product to feel well moisturized. but because i am fighting a sunburn, i did reapply product after 2-3hours to keep my skin calm. impressed with this product, i did feel the price was fair. the bottle is rather large so definitely getting what you pay for. packaging is well made too. doesnt feel super like cheap plastic. i appreciate the clean ingredients. it doesnt feel like it's full of chemicals. i did try the lotion on my legs & feet that were not suffering from sunburn & was impressed with how soft & nourished my skin felt after one application. if this product can my help my sunburn, im sure it can help eczema! i will definitely be repurchasing this product. 10/10 highly recommend.

Why didn't I find this years ago?
With my excema, I fought for over a decade to find a product that will help. This lotion is amazing. I put it on after showering. It goes on easy, it soaks in well and for a gal who is almost 60 my skin now looks nourished, healthy and like I'm in my 30s and soft. Using this with the balm, my excema patches are almost completely gone. Love this!
