Low/no plastic body lotion

[EnterFunnyNameHere]

In my pursuit to use less plastic in the bathroom, I have moved to a "proper" razor, and found soap (soapnuts.co.uk) and solid shampoo (gruum) which actually work for my skin and hard hard water.

What I'm unable to find is a decent body lotion which is low/no plastic. All the moisturisers are tiny (and really expensive!) so not doable for legs after shaving etc. The solid ones I've tried don't seem to actually moisturise at all!

If anyone has found this particular Holy grail recently and wouldn't indeed sharing, I would be very grateful!!

TIA

The solid ones often rely on melting which is harder this time of year. If you’ve got any left, try keeping them in warmer places before you give up on them.

It’s like trying to spread real butter on your bread. Even if your house is heated in winter, that butter will rip your bread to shreds compared with the same butter in the summer!

L'Occitaine sells moisturisers in recycled metal containers and they don't go completely solid (at least the one I had didn't, 25% Shea butter ultra rich moisturiser).

If you can't find a plastic-free moisturiser, could you use one with easy to recycle packaging instead? Superdrug's Vitamin C moisturiser (both body and face versions) are in pots which are easy to clean for the recycling bin (unlike bottles). They have removable labels and can actually be reused as storage pots because the bottom section is slightly translucent and after the labels are removed there's no visible text.

I buy Nivea in the blue tins.

The issue I find with the solid ones is even when melted they just seem to sit on top of the skin, not sink in at all.

@NannyR that sounds like a good solution, is that sold commonly (not sure I've seen it but then I won't have been looking)?

Also agree that an option would be "easier to recycle" plastic, but I'm willing to try a few more non-plastic options before compromising!
