I’ll be the first to admit that there was once a time when I was not moisturizing my skin as much as I should have. Sure, I would find a body cream I liked the smell of, but after a few applications I realized I didn’t like the greasy film it left on my skin and I wouldn’t touch it again.
It would collect dust on my vanity until my skin was feeling thirsty, but by the time I got around to using it again, it had expired.
On a quest to waste less product, keep my skin properly hydrated, and find a body cream that actually worked without turning me into an oil slick, I let my nose lead the way and landed on the eos Shea Better 24H Moisture Body Lotion in the Vanilla Cashmere scent. It’s also well-loved on TikTok, which made me want to try it out even more.
Full disclosure, I started using this body cream seven months ago after coming home from a vacation. I was desperate to keep my skin happy and moisturized while avoiding the dreaded peel that happens after a week of spending hours in the sun (with sunscreen, of course). I have since applied it to my skin after every shower and I’m currently about to finish my second bottle of this liquid gold. I even cut the last bottle open to scrape product off the sides to not waste a single drop.
The reason this body cream feels so luxurious and actually delivers on its promise to keep skin moisturized for 24 hours is the powerhouse combination of shea butter and shea oil. The shea oil is what will give your skin that instantly quenched feeling as soon as you apply it, while the thicker and richer shea butter acts as a protective barrier to lock that moisture in.
It’s made with sustainably grown natural shea and is hypoallergenic, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and vegan, as well as being both paraben and phthalate-free. If vanilla scents aren’t your cup of tea, it comes in seven other fragrance options, including a bestselling Coconut Waters scent as well as a fragrance-free formula, but the Vanilla Cashmere is the best, in my humble opinion.
Reviewers are loving the eos Shea Better 24H Moisture Body Lotion just as much as I do. Many say it’s the best vanilla-scented lotion they’ve ever used, while others praise its ability to actually moisturize, and in some cases, improve skin texture over time. Reviewers with sensitive skin also sing its praises. Unlike other scented creams, this one doesn’t clog their pores or leave them with rashes or breakouts. Aside from being a trending beauty product on TikTok, it also has a well-deserved average rating of 4 stars.
