A body lotion more than 60 years in the making

Posted Thursday, July 29, 2010

When you order a bottle of Eight Body Moisture, you'll receive lotion from a fresh batch. But the formula, give or take a few ingredients, has been in the founder's family since 1944. After years of being tweaked and fine-tuned, the creamy concoction reached its current recipe.

The hero product of the Eight collection, Body Moisture is formulated with 14 natural ingredients that have been brought together to not only hydrate dry skin, but soothe the itching that often accompanies it. Some are traditional moisturizing extracts, like coconut and avocado oils, while others, like Tahitian gardenia, make the blend a true stand-out.

We love the light ginger lime fragrance that adds to the enjoyment of using Body Moisture. And because of the essential oil content, the scent gently fades away just in time for you to apply your favorite perfume without any olfactory competition.

We're not quite sure why the brand is called Eight—perhaps the eight ounces of lotion? But we are sure that this moisturizing miracle is a ten.

Eight? Eight what? Eight ingredients? What ingredients could possibly be from 60+ years ago and still good today? Mineral oil? Petrolatum? Yuck x 2! My grandmother stopped using Clinique's DDML becuase it was basically thickeners and water and they were charging a lot for it. Post the ingredients, please! Love New Beauty, though. Renee :D

LOL! ..."the *FORMULA* has been in the founder's family since 1944" not the lotion itself!

Hi

Actually the lotion has been in the family for years...the founders mother used to make the lotion using eight ingredients - that's why the lotion is now called Eight. Vicki - the founder, decided to name it Eight as an homage to her mother.

The eight core ingredients include:

Aloe Vera
Vitamin E
Jojoba Oil
Evening Primrose Oil
Monoi Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Emu Oil
Apricot Kernel Oil

You can read more about it at: www.eightbodymoisture.com
