ShiKai Hand and Body Lotion "Yuzu"


This is a pretty good product. It is not as simple or pure as some other products. The simplicity here comes in the fact that I can pick this one up at my local grocery store (no ordering or paying for shipping)! This product is based on natural oils including shea, aloe, apricot, and avocado. Water is the first ingredient (always good) and aloe vera is the second ingredient (also good). If you are not aware of this, ingredients at the beginning of the list are in the largest concentration, those at the bottom in the smallest concentration. This product contains glycerin and vegetable wax which can inhibit your skin from breathing as well as dimethicone which can backfire in that regard, so it’s not something you want to slather on all over yourself. But it’s great as a hand lotion and as an occasional body lotion. Don’t use it on the face as it contains (at the lower register) phenoxyethanol which has been classified by the European Union as toxic when used around the mouth and is restricted for use in cosmetics in Japan.
