St. Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion - 12 oz, lightweight hydrating formula with coconut & soybean oils

St. Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion is a daily hydrating lotion that helps restore softness and improve skin's youthful bounce with collagen-supporting ingredients and natural moisturizers.

This lightweight body lotion combines collagen- and elastin-supportive ingredients with 100% natural moisturizers like coconut oil and soybean oil to replenish skin's surface moisture. Formulated to be non-comedogenic and free from parabens, the lotion is dermatologist-tested globally and certified cruelty-free by PETA. It smooths on easily, absorbs without heavy residue, and works as part of a daily skin-care routine to maintain hydrated, touchable skin.

How does this lotion layer into my daily routine?

Apply after showering or anytime skin feels dry to lock in moisture while the skin is still slightly damp. The fast-absorbing texture allows you to dress quickly without greasy transfer, making it suitable for morning and evening use.

• Use immediately after towel-drying to seal in hydration.
• Fast-absorbing formula minimizes stickiness and transfer to clothing.
• Light scent keeps skin feeling fresh without overpowering.

What are the key ingredients and why do they matter?

The lotion features natural oils—coconut and soybean—that replenish lipids on the skin’s surface, helping maintain softness and suppleness. Collagen and elastin-supporting components are included to target visible firmness and texture, while the overall formula avoids parabens and is non-comedogenic.

• Coconut oil and soybean oil: natural moisturizers that help smooth and condition skin.
• Collagen + elastin-focused ingredients: support appearance of firmness and resilience.
• Non-comedogenic and paraben-free: formulated to reduce pore clogging and avoid certain preservatives.

Is this product ethically made and safe for sensitive skin?

St. Ives states the lotion is dermatologist-tested worldwide and certified cruelty-free by PETA, meaning no animal testing during development. While the formula is designed to be gentle, those with reactive or very sensitive skin should patch-test first, as individual responses can vary.

• PETA-certified cruelty-free: no animal testing in product development.
• Dermatologist-tested globally: clinical oversight during formulation phases.
• Paraben-free: avoids certain preservatives some consumers prefer to skip.

How long before I notice results and how often should I use it?

Many users see improved surface softness after the first application, with more visible smoothing and improved texture developing with consistent daily use. For best results, apply once or twice daily—morning and/or night—depending on your skin’s needs and the local climate.

• Immediate: softer, more hydrated skin after first use.
• Regular use: smoother texture and improved touchability over weeks.
• Frequency: daily application recommended; adjust to seasonal dryness.

Who is this for: St. Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion is suited for anyone seeking a lightweight, fast-absorbing body moisturizer that emphasizes natural oils and collagen-supporting ingredients. It’s a good match for people who prefer paraben-free, non-comedogenic skincare and those who want a cruelty-free option certified by PETA. If you have highly sensitive or allergy-prone skin, test a small area before full use to ensure compatibility.
