I was in a local high end grocer (privately owned) the other day, and I wasn’t sure what body moisturizer to buy. Since I love switching products a lot when it comes to body moisturizer, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever used the same kind of body lotion twice. I’ve alternated between Suave, Keri, Lubriderm, St. Ives, Vaseling Intensive Care, Neutrogena, and various other mroe obscure brand names like natural brands from natural food stores quite a bit over the past few years.
This time, my body lotion of choice was one from the high end grocer in the “natural” lotion section, called Beyond Belief with Aloe and vitamin E. It came in a very generously sized pump bottle, which I think will last me a few months if I’m not so generous with it, and it smells almost like you would expect a Vaseline body care product to smell (that’s the part I don’t like, I’m not a fan of that smell).
I usually twist them open to make sure the smell is not offensive in the store, but I was in a rush and I thought well how offensive can the smell of vitamin e and aloe be, right? So, needless to say I’m not a fan of the scent, and the lotion itself is not as emollient or thick as I’d like it to be. Sure, it serves its purpose as a lightweight all-over body moisturizer, but it really doesn’t feel as though it’s creating a protective layer like some other lotions do that are thicker and more intensive.
Bottom line on “Beyond Belief” – not a huge fan, but then again, it could just be the formulation, their other stuff might work better…
