Bath Basics Unwind Body Lotion

Bath Basics has a line of lotions that are supposed to affect your mood. I decided to try the Unwind body lotion last winter. The lotion was pretty nice, though I dont know how much it really helped me relax.

First off, the price is great. 3 bucks for 16oz of lotion is a great price. It isnt like the lotion is terribly cheaply made, though it is made of all synthetic ingredients (except for the water). I was very satisfied with the value of my purchase. I still have plenty left now, even.

The lotion itself is a little above standard for a generic nice-smelling lotion. Its not overly oily or greasy, which is nice. It also does a pretty good job of moisturizing. Its a nice lotion to have in the winter to stave off chapped elbows and knees. It doesnt overly soften your skin, but it does make your dried out skin feel a lot better. The scent is nice, too. Its spearmint and sage mixed with some other scents I cant recognize. It has a pleasant herbal smell that actually does seem to help you relax.

That brings me to the one major downside of this product- the scent is really, really strong. You cant use more then a squirt of it without reeking of the stuff. If you dont like heavy scents, you will not like using this product. It helps you relax, but it will give you even more of a headache if youre in a place without ventilation.

In the end, I think your enjoyment of this product will hinge on your enjoyment of the scent. If you like it, youll love having a big bottle of it. If you dontwell, at least the bottle will last you a while.
