Wise She Mega NYX Giveaway Entry 1 by Sneha
Hi everyone!
I find it a little funny that even though I had decided to write something for WiseShe for a long time, this is my first post 
as they say it’s never too late 
Nevertheless, coming to the point, even though I have normal skin, I bought this body lotion or can I just say that I like body lotions which smell differently and I kind of hoard them 
I knew I had to have it when I smelt this on a usual trip to H&G (yeah, smell , you read it right )
- What Himalaya Herbals Claims:- A daily-use, intense moisturizer, which a luxurious blend of nourishing and deep penetrating natural ingredients which help repair, nourish, soften, and smoothen dry skin. Cocoa butter intensively moisturizes softens and improves skin texture, and Wheatgerm oil, a rich source of natural vitamin E, nourishes and boosts the skin’s elasticity. Olive oil and Grape seed oil help in repair and regeneration, restoring healthy sin with a long lasting glow.
- Key Ingredients: Cocoa butter, Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Wheatgerm Oil
- Directions: Apply lotion gently all over the body, with special attention to severely dry areas, gently massaging it in. Best used after bathing when your skin is more receptive to hydration

- Available in : 100ml, 200ml and 400ml bottles
- Price: 140 INR for 200ml bottle
- Packaging: like all the other Himalaya products, even this one comes in a sturdy white bottle with a green flip open cap. Even though there is nothing wrong with this, I always prefer bottles with pumps, it makes life so much easier when I am in a hurry ( which is the case most of the time)
My experience with Himalaya Herbals Intensive Moisturising Body lotion
like I had mentioned before, the first thing anybody would notice the amazing cocoa butter fragrance which lingers for a while. I would love to smell like that the whole day. It is somewhat sweet, buttery fragrance(I don’t think I can justify the smell) so just smell it yourself, I know you will like it! It does the basic work of a body lotion but the claims about being an intense moisturizer and being luxurious is not up to the mark.
The consistency is moderate and it gets absorbed into the skin without giving a heavy feel. Hence, it will not be suitable for very dry skin. Cocoa butter has been used in the pure form since a long time, as a remedy for stretch marks and sometimes also as a cure for eczema and dermatitis. So the natural products in the ingredient list is impressive but it has parabens .
Also there is no SPF in the lotion! That could have been one of the plus points of this product as its always better to use one thing rather than mixing in the sunscreen.
What I like about Himalaya Herbals Intensive Moisturising Body Lotion
- Did I mention the amazing smell ?
- Pricing is very decent
- Consistency is neither too runny not thick
- It gets absorbed in the skin easily
- Does not feel heavy
- Does deliver most of the claims
- Availability will not be an issue
What I do not like about Himalaya Herbals Intensive Moisturising Body Lotion
- Not suitable for very dry skin.
- It contains parabens
- No SPF so you have to mix in a sunscreen
- Its not actually a con but a pump dispenser would have been better
Final verdict: this is a very good product and I would not mind buying this again but I like trying new products and preferably with an SPF to save myself little more time and hassle.
My rating: 3.75/5.0

hehe..ya…and the smell will want t make u eat it!
i have just used Himalaya’s Neem Face wash and that’s perfect for me

welcome to the writer group of wise she Sneha
thankooo!!
i have been wanting to do this for such a long time! glad i sent it to u
and m glad too Sneha!!!
Welcome welcome!!
thanks! its worth a try!
don’t u think the price is a bit high for a mediocre body lotion when u get more than half litre for around 300 in St Ives
That is true that himalaya doesnt have this high range in body lotion but i think there must be somethig very good about it otherwise why will himalaya do so..i think i m using my brain too much
yup.. might be on the higher side for himalaya.. but if you compare it to the others in the market… i found it fine.. and yes! the ingredient list is impressive! (sugar and spice and evrything nice
)
which hand cream do u use sneha???
lol.. none! i have been wanting to buy one.. but dont know which one to buy.. but right now when ever my hands feel dry i use johnson’s baby oil..
the bottle with peach cap.. i tried it randomly once and found it fine 
himalaya has two types of hand creams. i saw it in their website. thinking of getting one
oh.. will check it out.. i was thinking of TBS.. anyone suggestions??
if u have dry skin then u can try their vitamin c range sneha.
hmm.. dry as in.. my palms seem to be dry and stretchy sometimes.. and i cant concentrate on anything untill i have moisturised my hands ..lol
the ingredient list is impressive
I want to try now…It would have ebeen great if it was more moisturising…Nice review
