Tropical Traditions Arnica Moisturizing Lotion Review & Giveaway!

One product I have to use daily is lotion. If I skip any other routine I will be okay. But I have to use lotion for my dry itchy skin. I have to avoid certain lotions, which cause my skin to become even more irritated. I prefer natural ingredients to keep my skin healthy.  I love Tropical Traditions Arnica Moisturizing Lotion! This lotion is made from great ingredients that keep my skin moisturized without feeling greasy!


The smell of this lotion is amazing.  It is unlike any lotion I have tried before! This is a great massage lotion, and especially for those tired muscles!  The unique combination of ingredients creates a very relaxing scent!  This lotion goes on well and absorbs within a few minutes.  I am even able to use it on my youngest daughters skin, and she has eczema.  She has had no reactions to this lotion and I have used it on her many times.  I really love this lotion!

 

How Tropical Traditions Organic Moisturizing Lotions are Different

Filipinos are well-known for their youthful appearance and soft skin, even though they live in a climate that exposes them to the sun’s rays year round. Coconut oil is their main dietary oil, and is also the main ingredient in their skin care products.

All of the moisturizing lotions that Tropical Traditions offers are made with organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Palm Oil. No other products on the market are made with finer oils as their base. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally made from fresh organic coconuts, and independent laboratory tests show that it has a higher level of antioxidants than other coconut oils.

The founders of Tropical Traditions are Brian and Marianita Shilhavy.  In 1998 Brian  and Marianita returned to the Philippines with their three children and renovated Marianita's old family farmhouse. By this time the coconut industry was severely depressed due to the negative U.S. campaigns against tropical oils in the 1980s and 1990s. Coconut farmers could no longer support their families on the income generated from harvesting coconuts. This couple tried a method the older generation used to extract the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, the oil naturally separates from the water producing a crystal clear oil that retains the full scent and taste of coconuts.  This proved successful, and they began using this for their own families.  They still use traditional methods for their products today!
