Mayfair No.9 Hand and Body Lotion

The shea butter in this lotion is so rich that my hands feel hydrated through a full workday, and it sinks in without that greasy film. Even my elbows, which usually flake in winter, have stayed silky smooth since I started using it.

The traceability bit sold me—knowing exactly where the shea butter comes from makes it feel more thoughtful than my usual lotion. It sinks in fast without any greasy film, and my hands stayed soft through a whole day of typing.

My skin’s been dry all winter and this is the first lotion that actually keeps it soft past lunchtime—the shea butter feels rich but never greasy. Plus knowing the ingredients are sustainably sourced makes me feel a bit better about slathering it on daily.
