Certified organic to USDA National Organic Program standards, Dr. Bronner's Fair Trade & Organic Lotions are made with pure organic oils free of synthetic ingredients & preservatives. Organic jojoba oil moisturizes dry skin exceptionally well due to its unique similarity to the skin's natural oils. Organic coconut oil assists with absorption, while organic hemp & avocado oils help keep skin smooth & supple. Organic grain alcohol (ethanol) is used as a natural preservative at a level that helps absorption without being drying. Only the finest organic essential oils are used for fragrance.
