The lilac smoothing whipped oil body cream ($32) is the star of the line, and is intended to help moisturize skin while also regenerating its barrier using ingredients like bioretinol and pure quinoa oil. Yep, quinoa isn't just for filling up your grain bowls—per Nativa Spa, which uses the nutrient-rich ingredient in all of its body care products, the grain's oil is a "super emollient," and can help hydrate skin for a firmer, smoother surface. Not to mention deliver all of its antioxidant benefits.
As for the whipped body cream, PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida confirms just how luxe it feels. "I love Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and this whipped body butter easily rivals it. It has a thick, luxurious texture that soaks right into my skin, leaving it feeling smooth and moisturized. Plus, the new lilac scent is incredible—it's earthy, fresh and floral. I find it to leave a light scent on my skin for a bit afterwards, but it's not overpowering." The scent is made up of a blend of lavender, iris, violet and lilac that, Maida adds, instantly "transports you to a spa."
She also raves over the lilac smoothing hand and foot cream ($18), sharing, "It's super rich but I love that it hydrates my hands without greasiness—I can use my phone right after applying without the typical struggle of slick fingers."
Hydrating, smoothing and gorgeously scented? These lotions sound like they couldn't get any better, and if you agree, you might want to get 'em in your cart while they're still in stock.
