Why does your Body Lotion contain water?Updated 8 hours ago

Water is an essential key ingredient in our body lotion, it provides immediate hydration and helps nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and natural oils absorb better. It gives the lotion a light, silky texture that sinks into the skin quickly without feeling sticky.

A lotion is an emulsion, meaning a blend of water and oil. Without water, it would be a rich cream or balm, not the light, fast-absorbing texture we associate with body lotion. Water makes it smooth, easy to apply, and helps distribute the other ingredients evenly over the skin. Oils and butters soften and lock in moisture, but they don’t provide moisture themselves. That’s where water comes in.
