Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion Review

I got a bottle of Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion from my mother-in-law from a gift basket she received.  Since she only uses Avon products, she passed it along to me.  I'm not sure how much this product costs, but there are a few reasons I would probably not purchase for myself it in the future.

My first beef is the smell.  It's a little sickly sweet for me.  I'm also not a fan of the feel once it's been applied to my skin.  While the lotion smoothes on nicely, it leaves a filmy and slightly waxy feeling behind...babies may not notice, I sure as heck do!  And since the bottle says it's "for sensitive skin of all ages," I really wish it didn't feel so heavy.  Of course, being a Burt's Bees product, I love that the container is made of 96% post-consumer recycled pellets and can be recycled again, and that the lotion itself is 98.31% natural.  No parabens, synthetic dyes or fillers, or chemical additives make this a safe product to use on yourself or children.

Unfortunately, there are better natural products on the market than Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion.  Three stars for the environmentally friendly aspects, but it loses points for me on the residue and smell.
