This lotion is even lighter than our pick. It’s more expensive due to “healing” ingredients, even though research suggests they make little difference. Regardless, it’s a nice lotion and feels great.

Babyganics Daily Lotion is a fragrance and dye-free lotion that goes on smooth and feels soft when dry. We didn't experience any irritation or burning sensations during testing with this lotion, and it kept our tester's skin feeling soft for hours. The application is easy, and the pump works well. This lotion is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, and dyes and has no scent whatsoever. It contains cocoa and shea butter and uses several certified organic ingredients. This company also claims the lotion was created with no animal testing &#40;Good news for furry friends&#41;.
This lotion takes longer to absorb than many of the competitors as it is somewhat thin. It felt as if we were rubbing and rubbing for longer than other options. While this is not a deal-breaker for us, we imagine it could be somewhat challenging if you have a squirming, damp baby to fully smear after bathtime. While it made skin soft during testing, we aren't sure it will solve problems related to severely dry skin or eczema-related conditions. Overall, it is a gentle, smooth feeling lotion with no offensive smell and is free of many chemicals we think parents should avoid. We believe this option is a great go-to lotion for everyday skin maintenance, moisture retention, and softness for healthy skin. 

Once it’s rubbed in, this moisturizing lotion is lighter and drier-feeling than competitors. It’s better for people with normal to oily skin.
