Rowe Casa Organics Lymphatic Lotion

This targeted body lotion is formulated to support lymphatic flow and circulation when used with intentional massage. I think of this as more of a treatment-style product rather than an everyday moisturizer, especially for areas where you’re working on drainage, swelling, or tension.

Ingredients

100% Aloe Vera; Organic Unrefined Cold-Pressed Grapeseed Oil; Organic Unrefined Cold-Pressed High-Oleic Sunflower Oil; Organic Vegetable Glycerin; Plant Sugar (derived from palm); Organic Mango Butter; Plant Sugar (derived from coconut); Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl (natural preservative); Xanthan Gum; Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda); Essential Oils of Frankincense, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lavender, Orange, Peppermint, Ginger, Rosemary, Myrrh, Cypress, Geranium, Oregano.

What I Like

I like that this uses a soothing, plant-based base with aloe, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, and mango butter rather than petroleum-derived ingredients.

This is clearly formulated with intention. The essential oil blend is robust and aromatic, which many people enjoy when using it as part of a lymphatic massage or body-care ritual.

It fits well into a low-tox, wellness-focused routine if you’re specifically looking for something to pair with dry brushing or lymphatic massage rather than a basic body lotion.

EWG rating (EWG analyzer): 3.

Things to Keep in Mind

The EWG score is driven mainly by certain essential oils (grapefruit, orange, lavender, peppermint), which are commonly flagged for potential irritation or sensitization. These flags are typically based on conservative data and don’t necessarily reflect real-world use in a topical, massage-based product, but they’re still helpful context.

This lotion has a strong, stimulating aroma due to the essential oil blend. If you’re fragrance-sensitive, this may feel overwhelming.

How you apply this product matters. Lymphatic drainage works best when lotions are used with gentle, directional massage rather than rubbed in quickly. Slow, light-pressure strokes that follow lymphatic pathways can make a noticeable difference in how effective this feels.

This is best used as a targeted treatment rather than an all-over daily body lotion.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

Because this formula includes a large essential oil blend (including peppermint, oregano, and citrus oils), patch testing is important, especially for sensitive or reactive skin.

If you’re pregnant, nursing, or managing lymphatic swelling related to a medical condition, it’s wise to check with your provider before use and keep application limited and intentional.

Essential oil transparency: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. I prioritize brands that test for purity and aim to minimize unnecessary contaminants whenever possible.
