Best Organic and Natural Body Moisturizers for Winter
Winter in NYC always seems to be… never ending. Seriously, sometimes I’m still wearing my winter coat in early MAY. Hence, I figured I’d share my favorite non-toxic body moisturizers, lotions, and oils for you to enjoy. I complied options for everyone: whether you crave intoxicating scents, seek acne-safe solutions, desire travel-friendly companions, or pursue anti-aging breakthroughs, I've got you covered. ALL of these are also Switch Natural App approved, which means they contain absolutely NO potentially harmful ingredients at all. This post contains affiliate links, so if you decide to purchase any of these, I would be ever so thankful if you used them. Let’s get into it!
Fitglow Beauty Bakuchiol Body Cream
*best anti-aging body cream*
Fitglow Beauty’s Vitamin C + Bakuchiol Body Serum-In-Cream was a love at first sight kind of product for me. First of all, it smells HEAVENLY, like, you won’t be able to stop applying it, that’s HOW amazing it smells. It’s packed with bakuchiol, a plant-based and non-toxic retinol alternative which is great for improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin firmness and elasticity. The hyaluronic acid in it is also wonderfully anti-aging by boosting collagen production and intensely hydrating the skin. This Body Serum-In-Cream also has a brightening effect thanks to Vitamin C and Glutathione. I love that it absorbs very quickly, yet leaves skin super hydrated and nourished. I love applying this before I’m rushing through the door, as I don’t have to worry about it leaving a film or stickiness on my skin. This body cream is vegan, cruelty free, paraben & silicone-free and made with organic ingredients. Make sure you check out my review of Fitglow’s Hand Cream here, while you’re at it.

Clearstem Skincare SOFTSKIN Body Lotion
*best acne safe body lotion*
Clearstem’s SOFTSKIN Body Lotion is perfect if you have acne prone, sensitive skin. If your body is acne prone, you definitely want to avoid most body lotions as 99% of the time, they’ll have some pore clogging ingredients in them. SOFTSKIN has zero pore cloggers, and zero toxins too. It also has ingredients like vitamin E, green tea, astralagus root, goji fruit and more to calm the skin, heal your body acne and repair acne scarring as well, by repairing the skin barrier. Lavender and clove target the acne causing bacteria, so you can kiss body acne bye bye. If you also have keratosis pilaris (KP), which are those small bumps that can occur on the backs of the arms, this body lotion is formulated to get rid of that as well! SOFTSKIN feels super luxurious and glides on smoothly, and absorbs really well while giving your body a healthy GLOW. Did I mention that it smells wonderfully calming?

NÉCESSAIRE The Body Lotion
*best travel body lotion*
Nécessaire’s Body Lotion has a mini size that I think is PERFECT for travel. It’s a great size that’s not too small but not too big, and it looks incredibly chic. They of course have a full size, but I bought the mini as I was testing it out before deciding to commit to the full size (which I totally would!). This body lotion has a cult following and for great reason: it’s fragrance free, soothing, hydrating, anti-aging AND fast absorbing. This is also the best option for very sensitive skin. Nécessaire’s best seller also has everything you’d want out of an excellentfacial moisturizer: 5 peptides, niacinamide, plant oils rich in vitamins A, C, E, F, and Omega 6 & Omega 9. It comes in 3 sizes: 70ml (pictured), 200ml, and 400ml (jumbo). Nécessaire knows how the art of nailing body products, so make sure to check out my review of their hand cream here as well.

Acure Seriously Soothing 24hr Moisture Lotion
*best budget friendly body lotion*
On a budget? I got you! This Acure Seriously Soothing 24hr Body Lotion offers value without sacrificing your wallet. I discovered this body lotion several years ago, when my hands and body were seriously suffering from winter dryness. The Seriously Soothing Moisture lotion is packed with cocoa butter, colloidal oatmeal and aloe, and is safe for even the most sensitized skin. It’s also paraben free, sulfate free, mineral oil free, petrolatum free, silicone free and of course, cruelty free, which is amazing considering it costs less than $14! I love it and it’s my husband’s favorite (and he’s not into lotions overall, haha). Shop it here!
Osea Undaria Algae Body Butter
*best body butter*
As soon as you open a jar of OSEA’s Undaria Algae Body Butter, you’ll fall in love: the whipped texture, the intoxicating smell and the yummy creaminess of it will leave you wanting more and more. I’ve gone through jars of this body butter and have gifted it to friends and family as well. Everyone loves it! This body butter is lightweight yet rich, firming, smoothing and moisturizing. OSEA knows how to take your skin to a whole new level and you’ll notice the improvements instantly AND over time. The key ingredients include: undaria seaweed, shea butter, DPHP (amino complex), ceramides and glycerin.

Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil
*best firming body oil*
OSEA’s bestselling Undaria Algae Body Oil is clinically proven to “instantly improve skin elasticity and deliver deep moisturization” and I can truly attest to this. I’ve loved using this body oil for over 2 years and that says a lot, since I’m always trying new products. This Body Oil will leave your skin GLOWING, tighter and I’ve noticed it also reduces the appearance of cellulite. This oil will deliver long lasting hydration and won’t fully absorb right away, so you’ll look like a celebrity glowing on the red carpet! The key ingredients in this body oil are: Undaria Seaweed, Sunflower Oil, and White Lupin, in addition to more botanical oils to achieve this golden blend. My favorite hack is to use OSEA’s Undaria Body Butter and then apply some of this body oil on top for the ultimate hydration and glow. Plus, you’ll smell amazing: you’ll notice notes of grapefruit, lime and cypress with mango and mandarin. The Undaria Algae Body Oil comes in three sizes: 1ml (travel size), 5ml, and 9.6ml (jumbo size). Get it 10% off OSEA with my code GREENBOOT10 here!
True Botanicals Pure Radiance Body Oil
*best fast absorbing body oil*
You may have heard about True Botanicals’ bestselling Pure Radiance Face Oils, but did you know they also have an incredible Pure Radiance BODY Oil? This body oil is SO lightweight and absorbs into the skin quickly, leaving it hydrated and nourished. I am in love with the spa-like scent it has thanks to sandalwood, orange, and cedarwood oil, and other aromatherapy oils. True Botanicals also uses a very unique blend of oils to achieve moisturization: green tea seed oil, hemp seed oil, and chia seed oil, among others. They also say this body oil works well for shaving in the shower. The Pure Radiance Body Oil is hypoallergenic, MADE SAFE certified (the highest certification you can get in the non-toxic world), cruelty free and EWG verified. Shop the True Botanicals Body Oil here!
