Mountain Ocean Skin Trip Coconut Moisturizer

When I say yes I will repurchase I mean this is now a staple in my bathroom cabinet!
Thanks to a lovely and smart MUAer I found out about Skin Trip lotion. I've probably walked by it a hundred times on my way to get another bottle of Dr. Bronner's Lavender or Peppermint soap or more Avalon Organics lotions.
I buy mostly natural and organic body lotions and here's another …Read more

The perfect "non-lotion" lotion for lotion haters. Absorbs quickly but still feels moisturizing. My only con is that it would be better in a pump bottle since the formula is extremely liquidy.

This isn't the most moisturizing lotion in the world, but wow, does it smell great. So lovely and beachy, and the scent lasts for hours. This is a thin lotion that sinks in well and leaves a nice sheen on the skin. I do think it's a bit expensive for what it is. (I got mine at Whole Foods and paid something like $14 for 8 ounces.) The scent notwithstanding, it's a pretty basic …Read more

This is the only lotion that has ever swayed me into regularly moisturizing in even the hottest, most humid, most miserable days of summer. And that is no small feat. Right off the bat, it does have a pretty strong coconut scent, but I don't mind it (it doesn't smell particularly fake/saccharine, which helps), and there is some lasting power on the skin. I've also noticed if I put …Read more

I'm a coconut hoe. I love drinking it, smelling it, eating it....you get the idea. I've always been looking for the perfect coconut lotion. This one is light and silky in texture, but surprisingly moisturizing. I pretty much live in a hot humid swamp so I can't do heavy feeling lotions, but i still need to use something to moisturize after showering. This has been my favorite …Read more

I'm late to the game here, but this stuff is good. An (adorably retro looking) 8oz bottle is about $10-11. It's intensely scented - to me (or at least ON me) it has an undertone of burnt coconut vs. a straight up beachy aroma. I like it because it cuts the sweetness a bit and smells more authentic than your standard "summer" scented products. This isn't a very rich lotion …Read more

Mountain Ocean Skin Trip is hands down my favourite body lotion. At any given time, I have numerous bottles open around the house. Right now, there's one sitting by me in my living room, another in my bedroom, and another 2 or 3 in the bathroom cabinet. Yes, I dabble in other body moisturisers (Embryolisse Lait-Fluide is my go-to when I have eczema flare ups or seriously parched skin, and …Read more

I really like this product. It's definitely not the most moisturizing lotion I've ever used, but it smells so good and feels so clean on my skin that I will continue to repurchase it. I appreciate how this is made with fresh ingredients and not with a bunch of potentially toxic chemicals, like a lot of beauty products.

Because it's not that moisturizing, I tend to just …Read more

Smells like real (not fake) coconut. Most perfume gives me a headache, so I am always on the lookout for scented lotions that double as fragrance. This lightweight lotion has a subtle, clean, almost powdery/milky coconut smell-- not too cloying or sweet, unlike most of the coconut scented lotions i've sampled. The only downside: the bottle is pretty small (8.5oz for around $11 at …Read more

I think if this product didn't have certain questionable ingredients on the list (for being "organic") I would give it a 5. I'm not a total weirdo when it comes to this chemical stuff, but I definitely am a bit more aware than I was before! I tend to use highly scented/high chemical lotions as a perfume more lol. If I am slathering it all over my body I get a bit more sketchy …Read more
