Perfect lotion, imperfect bottleI love this lotion! It smells like a tropical vacation and is rich and creamy but doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky or waxy. In other words...it is perfect! But, the lotion is so thick and rich that I have to fight to get it out unless I store the bottle upside down. It would be better with a pump!

Excellent lotion, but...The lotion is one of the best I've used and a little can really go a long way. But the bottle is a major encumbrance for me, especially since I have joint problems. This would be much better in a pump or a jar.

The old formula is the best lotion I've ever used!I first noticed how great this lotion is when I tried a bit from a tester bottle in my local health food store. I was delighted to notice I wasn't allergic to the scent and saw that the fragrance in it is natural . I recently bought another bottle but noticed water is the first ingredient instead of coconut oil. The smell is still amazing but it doesn't have the amazing richness the old formula had. The old formula was more moisturizing.

Fabulous LotionThis is a rich, thick and creamy lotion. I love the way it smells and lingers on my skin. However, because it's so thick, it is somewhat difficult to dispense through the top opening. I usually take the top off completely to dispense. A pump dispenser might improve the ease of application.

Love this lotion!This lotion is my favorite! It smells wonderful and keeps my skin hydrated all day. I always get complements on how good I smell when I put it on. I only wish it came in a bigger size so I wouldn't go through it so quickly! Especially during the winter months!

Please change the bottle this comes in!I love this lotion - it smells delicious (is not too overpowering) and it is wonderfully thick. My skin feels so soft. However, the bottle is the worst! Because the lotion is so thick, it's impossible to get the lotion out of the bottle. I had 1/3 of the bottle left and even turning it upside down, I could not get the lotion out. I ended up having to open the bottle with a knife and then scoop out the remaining lotion and put it in a jar. Please don't change the formula - just change the bottle to a jar!
Hi Ray Ray,
Thank you for your question. Yes, of course men can wear the Coconut & Papaya Body Lotion.

Can your Coconut & Papaya Body Lotion be used as a face lotion?
Asked by: Victoria
I have dull/combination skin and started using this as a face lotion (only at night) a few weeks ago and my skin has seriously never felt and looked better! It's so soft and has a healthy glow.

Coconut/papaya lotion. What are the ingredients in this product. Also I was wondering - I bought some of your Shea Butter and the ingredients look delicious. But where are the cleansing, or anti-germ ingredients?
I received a sample of Coconut&Papaya Body Lotion from Ulta and adore it. Please advise where I may purchase your products in the general area of Portland, Oregon.

Is there an option for this to come with a pump? I recently bought a container of the papaya and coconut body lotion, but the bottle is hard to squeeze, making it difficult to get the lotion out. I love the lotion and the scent.

Someone stated the first ingredient changed from coconut oil to water? Has your formula changed?
