Return to the Old Formula Please (Update)
Just wanted to update my review. Those who think that Alba is so great never experienced the original formula.
Good News for the grieving former Alba users.
Beauty Without Cruelty (BWC) Fragrance Free Lotion has the same feel and consistancy of the Alba Very Emollient Lotion that we knew and loved. You can order it on Amazon.
It only comes in 8 oz and 16 oz bottles but what the heck. I'm in heaven again.
ADIOS ALBA!!!!!!
**********************************************
Alba if you are reading the comments notice that your loyal users were satisfied with the old formula. The new formula SUCKS!
Remove the shea butter or decrease the amount. The lotion is too thick and sticky.
I used to rave to everyone about this lotion because it was emollient enough to keep my skin soft and moist but light enough so that I did not feel sticky, waxy or uncomfortable.
The new formula has changed all of this. The lotion is now just short of body butter and I have to add distilled water just so I can bear it.
Unfortunately, I have a closet full of the new formula and unless something changes I will not be purchasing another bottle.
