GAIA – Fragrance Free Body Lotion 500ml

For Dry & Sensitive Skins. Rich in Tocopherol Vit E & Borage Seed oil

We have been exposed to so many people who seem to be suffering from eczema and psoriasis. This has led to us formulating a very soothing body lotion that can be applied liberally to the body. If the skin is very inflamed, apply tepid green tea, which is highly anti-inflammatory to calm the skin before applying the moisturizing cream. Will offer relief to eczema and psoriasis skin types, especially hyper-sensitive and overreactive skin.

This product does not contain floral essential oils or synthetic fragrances.

Contains: (paraben free and naturally formulated cream base); remineralised water; green tea extract; comfrey extract; organic shea butter; organic coconut oil; comfrey allantoin; aloe; flaxseed oil; organic castor oil; evening primrose oil; organic borage seed oil; avocado oil; German chamomile

Gaia’s Fragrance-Free Body Lotion is a rich, natural lotion formulated specifically for dry, sensitive, inflamed or reactive skin. It’s free from any floral essential oils or synthetic fragrance, making it gentler for people with eczema, psoriasis, or hypersensitive skin. It’s loaded with nourishing plant oils, soothing herbal extracts, and skin-barrier supporting ingredients to calm irritation, hydrate deeply, and help restore comfort and softness.

Benefits:

Based on its ingredients and “fragrance-free / sensitive skin” positioning, here are the likely benefits:

1. Gentle on sensitive or reactive skin
   Without essential oils or synthetic fragrance, it’s much less likely to trigger irritation, contact dermatitis, or allergic responses for people with sensitive skin.

2. Moisturisation & Skin Barrier Support
   Ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, borage seed oil, evening primrose oil, flaxseed oil and avocado oil provide lipids and emollients that help restore and maintain the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss.

3. Soothing / Calming Properties
   Aloe, comfrey + allantoin, chamomile are known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and healing qualities; helpful for inflamed, dry or itchy skin (eczema / psoriasis flareups).

4. Antioxidant Protection
   Tocopherol (Vitamin E), as well as some botanicals (green tea extract if included, comfrey etc.) help neutralize free radicals, which might help with environmental stress on skin.

5. Helps with Dry / Eczema / Psoriasis Skin
   Given the formula is rich and soothing, this lotion probably helps reduce flaking, scaling, tightness associated with very dry skin, and soothe discomfort in eczema- or psoriasis-affected skin.

6. Natural / Cleaner Formulation
   For those preferring natural / organic skincare, or avoiding synthetic/unwanted fragrance and harsh additives, this is a strong option.

Things to Consider / Limitations:

• Even natural ingredients can cause sensitivity in some people; it’s always a good idea to patch-test, especially if skin is very reactive.

• If skin is extremely dry (e.g. cracked, very inflamed), may need more intensive/emollient products (ointments) in addition to lotion.

• As it is a richer lotion, it may feel heavier on very oily or acne-prone body skin.

• It may not have SPF protection (unless explicitly stated), so additional sun protection may be needed when skin is exposed.
