Burt's Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Orange Wax Body Lotion 8 oz Review

About Burt's Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Orange Wax Body Lotion

Burt's Bees is all about natural products. This one is 99.01% natural. It comes in an eight ounce container and is white in color. The scent is strongly of honey. I hate the smell of honey. But this wasn't for me so I gagged through it. I smelled no orange at all. My son's rash was on his back so I applied the lotion. He wasn't in love with the scent either but it's not a BAD scent. You just have to like honey and we don't. Still, the lotion is very thick and creamy, so thick that I had trouble getting it out of the bottle. On my son's skin, it was non-greasy and absorbed nicely. He said it felt good. I used it on my hands because I had it on my hands and they felt smoother and softer.

The next day, my son's rash was much less noticeable and less itchy. I applied more of the lotion after his shower and I could almost see the rash disappearing. By mid afternoon, my son said the rash didn't itch anymore. The next day, it was nearly gone and one more application cleared it completely up. Obviously, it could have been clearing by itself but I think this lotion soothed and calmed my son's inflamed skin.

I used it on my hands every time I applied it to my son's skin and my hands were much softer and hydrated. I tried it on my legs after shaving and it was soothing and felt cool. This can be used all over the body as a daily lotion but we don't use it that way. If our skin feels irritated or tight, we will use the lotion and it does help. I don't like the smell, unfortunately, or I may have used it as a body cream. However, I will use it on my hands if they get very chapped or on my legs when I get razor burn.

My Viewpoint

This is a good natural lotion that, if you like the honey scent, you can use daily as a body lotion. If you prefer, you can use it on rashy, irritated skin until the irritation goes away. That is how we use it. It's thick and rich and a little goes a long way. I am not a fan of the scent but I do think this is one of the better Burt's Bees skin products. 4 stars.
