Basd Body Lotion - Refreshing Citrus Grapefruit (450 mL)

Basd Body Lotion in Refreshing Citrus Grapefruit is an everyday body lotion in a 450 mL pump bottle, made in Canada for the Toronto brand Basd. Organic aloe leaf juice is the first ingredient, followed by organic sunflower seed oil, and organic coconut oil and shea butter come later in the list. The scent is bright citrus grapefruit.

What is in it

The oils and butters are sunflower seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa seed butter. Four of the ingredients are certified organic: aloe juice, sunflower oil, coconut oil and shea butter. Cetyl, cetearyl and the fatty acids palmitic and stearic acid give the lotion body, and glyceryl stearate binds the oil and water phases. Glycerin and xanthan gum finish the texture, and coffea arabica (coffee) seed extract sits near the end of the list.

Benzyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin and dehydroacetic acid preserve the formula, and the label marks it paraben free. The bottle carries the Leaping Bunny cruelty-free logo and a 12-month period-after-opening symbol, and a recycling symbol.

Scent and texture

The fragrance is fresh and zesty rather than sugary. The lotion is medium weight: rich enough to feel cushioned on dry elbows and shins, light enough for arms and legs in summer. Basd's own label line is that clothing is optional for the rest of the day.

How to use it

Pump a little into your hand and rub it into your skin. Use it daily or whenever you want, on arms, legs and the rest of the body. A single press covers one arm or one lower leg. Keep it away from your eyes. Once opened, use it within 12 months.

Who it suits

It suits adults who want a plant-based, paraben-free body lotion with a clean citrus scent, and shoppers who look for the Leaping Bunny mark. It is a good choice if you find vanilla or floral lotions too heavy, or if you want one large pump bottle to share in a family bathroom.

How it compares

The Invigorating Mint lotion in the same 450 mL bottle has a peppermint scent and a slightly different oil and emulsifier mix. Citrus Grapefruit is the bright one of the pair. Basd has discontinued this scent, so what we have in stock is the last of it.
