Basd Body Lotion - Invigorating Mint (450 mL)

Basd Body Lotion in Invigorating Mint is a plant-based body lotion in a 450 mL pump bottle. Organic aloe vera juice is its base instead of water, and it carries five butters and oils: organic sunflower seed oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, organic cocoa seed butter and caprylic/capric triglyceride. Peppermint oil gives it a cool, fresh scent.

What is in it

Sunflower seed oil is the main oil, near the top of the list. Coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa seed butter add richness, and glycerin, a humectant, is also in the mix. The emulsifiers are plant-derived esters from candelilla, jojoba and rice bran, with glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol and sodium stearoyl lactylate holding the oil and aloe together.

Coffee extract is in the formula too, and the mint comes from peppermint oil. Gluconolactone, sodium benzoate and caprylyl glycol preserve it, so there are no parabens. Basd describes the lotion as made with organic, plant-based ingredients, non-GMO and cruelty-free.

Scent and texture

The peppermint scent is crisp rather than sweet, and you feel a light cooling sense on the skin right after it goes on. The lotion is creamy but sinks in fairly fast, and you can dress soon after. The pump dispenses about one hand's worth per press.

How to use it

Pump a little into your palm and rub it over your skin after a shower or whenever your skin feels dry. Use it daily or as often as you like. Keep it away from your eyes, and test a small patch first if peppermint oil tends to bother your skin.

Who it suits

It suits adults who want an everyday body lotion with organic oils and butters and a fresh mint scent, and who prefer paraben-free formulas. It is a good morning or post-workout lotion if you dislike sweet or floral scents.

How it compares

The Refreshing Citrus Grapefruit lotion in the same 450 mL bottle uses a similar aloe, sunflower, coconut, shea and cocoa base but with a citrus fragrance and a different emulsifier set. Invigorating Mint is the one with peppermint oil. This scent has been discontinued by Basd, so stock here is what is left.
