Native Hand & Body Lotion: What's Inside Our Super Softening Secret Sauce?

At Native, we believe lotion products should be straightforward and feel absolutely amazing on your skin. If you're curious about the body lotion ingredients you can actually recognize – and understand what they do – here are some of the key players we use in our moisturizing lotion, and why they're there! 

Psst...BTW: As always, ingredient lists can vary by product and may be updated over time, so always check the label on your specific lotion to be sure! 

Key Ingredients You'll Find in Native's Hand and Body Lotion: 

• Glycerin (Plant-Derived Humectant): Glycerin is a plant-derived humectant, which means it's a magnet for moisture! It helps attract and hold water in the outer layers of your skin. In our lotion, glycerin helps support that wonderfully hydrated, comfortable feel – especially when you apply it right after washing.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 for Skin Barrier Improvement): Niacinamide (also known as vitamin B3) is a total superstar for skin barrier improvement. Supporting your skin's barrier can help it feel more resilient and comfortable, and can even contribute to smoother-looking skin over time.
• Shea Butter (Emollient for Hydration): Shea butter is an emollient, which is a fancy way of saying it helps soften and smooth your skin by boosting lubrication and reducing rough-feeling texture.  This hero gives our body care cream that richer, nourishing feel that so many people love.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Skin Conditioner): Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a fantastic skin conditioner that helps support a smooth, comfortable skin feel. It also improves spreadability, so our lotion glides on easily without any tugging!
• Coconut Alkanes (Skin Conditioner): Coconut alkanes are another skin conditioner we use to create that silky, lightweight feel during application. They help the lotion absorb comfortably while leaving your skin feeling wonderfully soft. 

How These Ingredients Work Together in a Moisturizing Lotion 

 Our key players:

• Humectants (like glycerin) help your skin hold onto water. 
• Emollients/conditioners (like shea butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride, and coconut alkanes) help soften and smooth your skin's surface. 
• Barrier-supporting ingredients (like niacinamide) help your skin feel more comfortable and resilient over time. 

This "team effort" is part of why our lotion offers gentle 48HR moisturization! 

Key Highlights 

• Glycerin for hydration support: Our plant-derived humectant helps your skin hold onto moisture for a comfortable feel. 
• Niacinamide for barrier support: Vitamin B3 helps support skin barrier improvement for ongoing comfort. 
• Shea butter for softness: This emollient helps smooth and hydrate dry-feeling skin. 
• Conditioners for silky slip: Caprylic/capric triglyceride and coconut alkanes help lotion glide on and leave skin feeling soft.
