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

SheaMoisture African Black Soap Soothing Body Lotion is an ultra-rich 13 oz moisturizer that calms and hydrates dry or troubled skin with African black soap, aloe vera, oats and fair trade shea butter.

This gentle body lotion blends traditional African Black Soap ingredients with plant-based hydrators to help restore balance and softness to dry skin. Designed for daily use, the non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and is free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and sulfates. Handcrafted shea butter sourced through fair trade practices supports nourishing moisture while reinforcing SheaMoisture’s heritage of community reinvestment.

How does this lotion help dry or troubled skin?

The lotion delivers multi-layer hydration and skin-soothing actives to areas that feel tight, rough, or irritated. Its lightweight cream sinks in without leaving a heavy residue, helping skin feel smoother and more comfortable after application.

• Contains fair trade shea butter for long-lasting moisture retention
• Aloe vera and oats soothe and calm the skin’s surface
• African black soap elements support balanced, healthier-feeling skin

When and how should I apply it for best results?

For optimal hydration, smooth the lotion over damp skin immediately after showering or bathing to lock in moisture. Use a generous amount on commonly dry areas—elbows, knees, hands, and feet—and reapply throughout the day where needed.

• Apply to damp skin to maximize moisture retention
• Massage into troubled spots and larger areas for full-body hydration
• Ideal for daily use as part of morning or evening routines

What ingredients make this product different from basic lotions?

This formula combines the soothing tradition of African black soap with modern hydrating botanicals. It avoids harsh additives and focuses on responsibly sourced, skin-friendly components that work together to hydrate and balance without testing on animals.

• Fair Trade raw shea butter provides deep nourishment
• Aloe vera and oats deliver calming moisture and comfort
• No parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil, or animal testing

Will it work for sensitive skin types?

The lotion is formulated to be gentle and non-irritating, but individual sensitivities vary. Patch testing on a small skin area is recommended if you have known sensitivities or reactive skin to confirm compatibility.

• Fragrance is subtle and formulation avoids common harsh additives
• Soothing botanicals help reduce the appearance of dryness and tightness
• Patch test before widespread use if you have very reactive skin

Who is this for: SheaMoisture African Black Soap Soothing Body Lotion is intended for anyone seeking a richer, responsibly made moisturizer—especially those with dry, uneven, or troubled areas who prefer plant-forward ingredients and fair trade shea butter. It’s suited for daily use by people looking for a cruelty-free, additive-conscious lotion that supports both skin comfort and ethical sourcing.
