It is the best *for* me that I have ever found. I appreciate its 100% natural (non-petrol) vegetable/plant base. The foot cream is a divine gift and the almond handle lotion is my main choice.

I'm going to check them out when I make my next purchase. I never bought their lotion b/c I don't like the lip balm. If I don't like it I'll be sure to blame you. lol

I suggest getting a "sample" pack (about $6-$8 at Walgreens) to test out which products you like. Their baby products are just wonderful. No harmful anything, so if it ends up in little mouths no real panic either.

I have a real problem with rough cracking heels in the summer (ewww I know..but I LOVE my birkenstocks). The foot cream completely reverses the problem OVERNIGHT...it is really amazing stuff.

Bert's Bees is the only lotion I would allow the hospital to use on Mr Sageofages when he was there...at first they thought I was nuts (OK I was on the verge of nuts then..but I had a good reason). After a week or so, the nurses were all using it themselves at their work station.

I use Kiehl's or Avenno. Kiehl's is more expensive, but I believe it actually does a better job of moisturizing. After showers I use Kiehl's Creme de Corps. At work I use Kiehl's Unusually Rich but not Greasy at all Hand Cream. I also use Kiehl's after swimming -- I do triathlons and the pool and salt water is really treacherous on my skin.

I think there are products that are just as good at the grocery store but I have really bad allergies and Kiehl's has the best unscented and noncomedigenic products on the market.

I also use both company's sunscreens. I can use Avenno for a few hours but for prolonged sun exposure where I have to reapply I have to use Kiehl's cuz Avenno starts to burn my skin and I break out in a rash.

Just scanning through, I haven't really seen any names of "expensive" lotions. I do love all L'Occitane products. The shea butter body lotion is about $30 a bottle and is wonderful.

I am not sure how you define expensive for body lotion but I think $70.00 a bottle for Kiehl's is a lot for a general all body moisturizer.

That's for a liter. That's also a really good moisturizer. I've used Kiehl's for about 10 years. I love all of their products (except the lip balm). I also, use Eucerin, which is about $10.
