Aleavia Orchid Prebiotic Body Lotion

This is a lightweight, nourishing body lotion designed to support the skin’s microbiome while delivering everyday hydration. I like it for sensitive skin routines where you want moisture and balance without heavy additives or synthetic fragrance.

Ingredients

Filtered Water; Aloe Vera Juice; Orchid Oil; Avocado Oil; Coconut Oil; Evening Primrose Oil; Grapeseed Oil; Apricot Oil; Plant Glycerin; Vegetable Emulsifier; Candelilla Wax; MSM Powder; Stearic Acid; Ascorbic Acid; Shea Butter; Vitamin E Oil; Citric Acid; Organic Sea Kelp.

What I Like

I like that this formula focuses on skin balance as much as moisture. The inclusion of sea kelp as a prebiotic supports the skin’s microbiome, which can be especially helpful if your skin is reactive or easily thrown off.

The oil blend (avocado, evening primrose, grapeseed, apricot, coconut) feels nourishing without being heavy or greasy, making it easy to use daily.

The orchid-derived scent is light and clean rather than perfumey, and it doesn’t rely on synthetic fragrance blends.

It’s a good option if you want a plant-forward lotion that feels thoughtful but still simple.

Things to Keep in Mind

EWG rating (EWG analyzer): 3.
This score is mainly influenced by the emulsifying wax and algae/sea kelp. These ingredients can be scored more conservatively in the EWG system, often due to oral or ingestion-related data rather than topical, leave-on skincare use. In a body lotion, they’re functioning to stabilize the formula and support skin health rather than acting as harsh actives.

This lotion is hydrating but not ultra-rich. If your skin is dehydrated, compromised, or exposed to harsh weather, you may want to layer it with a balm or oil for extra moisture.

Orchid oil is still a botanical fragrance component. While many people tolerate it well, very fragrance-sensitive users may want to patch test first.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

If you have sensitive or reactive skin, I recommend patch testing before regular use.

The brand states this lotion is safe for use before, during, and after pregnancy. As always, listening to your skin and choosing what feels best for you is key.
