This lotion was another GODSEND for my eldest daughter who has the same dry skin as her mommy and my youngest is prone to dryness and eczema. It has a wonderfully light and natural scent. It moisturizes just as effectively as any heavy store bought lotion; however, the major difference are that a) it works, b) it doesn't further irritate their skin and c) it soaks into their skin right away instead of sitting in a disgusting layer on top and doing nothing but making their poor little hands greasy instead of dry! It IS pricey but it is worth it. I know the ingredients are good and that is paraben free so it makes it worth the price for my munchkins! :)
