EOS (evolution of smooth) has come to Eden with a new line of beauty products that includes lotions and lip balms. The revitalizing care hand and body lotion will be covered in this review.

This lotion is meant to be nourishing to the skin. It is infused with shea butter and oat extract along with natural antioxidants, essential nutrients, and Vitamins C and E. These ingredients help leave your skin beautiful, soft, and give it a healthy, radiant shine. The directions of this lotion say to smooth on, touch your skin, and smile. This lotion is paraben free, lanolin free, phthalate free, and dye free. This is dermatologist tested, hypo-allergenic lotion that is not tested on animals. You will want to check the ingredients breakdown for a complete list of ingredients, some of which are allergy causing.

EOS bottles are really nice. You get a 9" tall slender bottle with 12 oz of lotion inside; there is a pump top to dispense your lotion. They allow the pump top to be twisted open and then twisted shut. Once this is twisted shut the pump is locked, so no spillage or leakage is possible even when traveling. When you twist the cap closed it clicks to let you know it is locked into place. When you pump the top to get some lotion, it stops and doesn't allow you to pump until it pops back out. A single full pump gives you about a quarter sized amount of lotion. The lotion is white in color. This is a thick and creamy lotion that does not run all over the place unless the lotion touches something. Once it is rubbed into the skin, it feels watery and somewhat greasy. It feels as if you have coagulated lotion on your skin. It does leave your skin velvety smooth. This coagulated lotion feeling is like you have not rubbed it in all the way even though you have.

There is no labeled scent to this lotion, but it does have a slight smell. This smell is very mild even fresh out of the bottle. The smell is light, clean, and lotiony. The smell will linger on your skin, but is only present to those who are directly smelling your skin. There is nothing unpleasant about the smell, and it will not overpower your usual perfumes.

You should not eat this lotion, but if you happen to lick your skin after it is applied, you will taste a creamy lotion taste. This is not overwhelming to the palette and it won't leave a bad taste in your mouth.

For the best results with any lotion, you should apply it after you get out of the shower. Then you can reapply as needed. This lotion helps your skin feel moisturized for hours without reapplying. You might need to reapply this lotion, if you are in need of moisture due to dry or cracked skin, more often than someone with healthy skin. If you want to wash the lotion off you will need to at least rinse your skin off, but most likely you will need to shower depending on the area you have covered in lotion.

The best quality about this lotion is how moisturizing it is, but the worst part is that it feels greasy and coagulated on your skin. This tends to only last about 30 minutes. The locking pump is pretty sweet as well, since this means no lotion will get on your items during traveling.

As I have mentioned before, I have suffered from Eczema my entire life, so I have tried a variety of lotions to help keep my skin hydrated. I find that more often than not, most lotions cause my rashes to break out more. I find that many soaps, lotions, detergents, deodorants, and many other products aren't good for my skin because of this. However, I am happy to report there has been no rash from this lotion on my skin. I recommend this lotion to anyone who is looking for a good hydrating lotion and won't mind the feeling it leaves on your skin afterwards.
