Shea Moisture African Black Soap Soothing Body Lotion for Troubled Skin — 13 oz, Fair Trade Shea Butter

SheaMoisture African Black Soap Soothing Body Lotion is a daily hydrating lotion that calms and moisturizes dry or troubled skin with African black soap, aloe vera and fair trade shea butter.

This ultra-rich 13 oz lotion from SheaMoisture blends traditional African Black Soap ingredients with moisturizing botanicals to help restore balance to dry, flaky or irritated skin. The formula is fragrance-friendly, free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and sulfates, and is crafted using fair trade shea butter and cruelty-free practices. Use it after cleansing or on damp skin to lock in moisture and target patches that need extra care.

How does this lotion hydrate and soothe dry or troubled skin?

The lotion combines emollients and humectants to both soften and lock in moisture. Fair trade shea butter creates a protective barrier, aloe vera cools and calms, and oats help comfort sensitive areas without heavy fragrance.

• Shea butter: nourishes and helps smooth dry patches.
• Aloe vera: soothing, cooling comfort for irritated skin.
• Oats: gentle support for sensitive, itchy areas.
• African Black Soap infusion: traditional ingredient to complement balanced skin routines.

When and how should I apply the lotion for best results?

For maximum hydration, apply the lotion immediately after showering or bathing while skin is still slightly damp. Focus on elbows, knees, heels, and any areas that are rough or flaky; reapply as needed throughout the day for extra comfort.

• After shower: pat skin dry, then smooth lotion over damp skin.
• Targeted use: concentrate on troubled zones for intensive care.
• Daily routine: use morning and night to maintain balanced hydration.

What makes this SheaMoisture lotion a conscientious choice?

SheaMoisture emphasizes ethical sourcing and transparent ingredient selection. This body lotion is made with Fair Trade shea butter, avoids common harsh additives, and supports the brand’s reinvestment programs in the communities where ingredients are sourced.

• Fair Trade shea butter: supports women-led co-ops in Africa.
• No parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, or sulfates: cleaner formulation.
• Cruelty-free practices: no animal testing in product development.

Will this lotion work with sensitive skin or fragrance preferences?

The formulation is created to be gentle and balancing, suitable for many people with sensitive or reactive skin when used as directed. If you have severe allergies or conditions, patch testing or consulting a dermatologist first is recommended.

• Gentle botanicals like oats and aloe help minimize irritation.
• Light, non-irritating scent profile suitable for scent-averse users.
• Patch test tip: apply a small amount to an inner forearm before full use.

Who is this for? SheaMoisture African Black Soap Soothing Body Lotion is ideal for people who want a richer daily moisturizer that addresses dryness and occasional irritation while supporting ethical sourcing. It fits well into routines for textured or unbalanced skin, and for anyone preferring cleaner ingredient lists and fair trade commitments—especially those who enjoy plant-forward, heritage-inspired skincare.
