Dr. Bronner’s 3-in-1 Orange & Lavender Organic Hand & Body Lotion
This is a simple, multi-use lotion for hands, face, and body made with organic plant oils and a bright orange + lavender essential oil scent. I like it as an everyday “keep it by the sink and actually use it” lotion that feels nourishing without being overly heavy.

What I Like
I like the ingredient list for everyday moisturizing. Coconut, jojoba, avocado, and hemp oils are a solid combination for softening and keeping skin comfortable without a slick, coated finish.
Because it’s made to work for hands, face, and body, it’s easy to simplify your routine and keep one product in rotation.
The orange + lavender scent comes from essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance, and it feels uplifting without being overly perfumey.
EWG rating (EWG analyzer): 3.
Things to Keep in Mind
This contains essential oils (orange and lavender). Even natural fragrances can be too strong for very sensitive skin, so if you know you react easily, start slow and patch-test first.
Because it’s a lightweight, multi-use lotion, dehydrated skin may still want something richer at night or during colder months.
Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations
If your skin is reactive, patch test first and start with hands or body before using on the face.
Essential oil transparency: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. I prioritize brands that test for purity and take steps to minimize contaminants and impurities whenever possible.
