I thought I would give this one a try and I'm glad I did..it seems more like a cream to me than a lotion it is very rich and thick. I've had great reveiws on this. works really good one dry skin, makes it silky smoothe

I loved the previous formula of the Ultra Premium Lotion (the one previous to this one), but unfortunately, some folks thought that it was too heavy. I can't understand why there needs to be caramel coloring added in the new formula. I found that it's quite sticky. It's probably due to the bees wax. I desperately needed something, so I mixed one pound of the old formula that I had on hand together with 1 pound of the new formula. It was still quite sticky. To make the consistency a little more whipped and less sticky, I added about a half ounce of Vitamin E oil in wheat germ oil that I had on hand. And allthough it's a little bit oily going on, at least it's not sticky, and the oil soaks into the skin right away. If you're not crazy about the new formula either, get creative like I did! :-)

I really like this lotion base. No weird chemical smell, no greasy or slimy after feel. It is great. One of the other reviews states it leaves a white residue on the skin and is not ealiy absorbed this is true if you use too much~ as is the case with most moisturizers. A litlle definatly goes a long way, which makes this a great deal. My only suggeston: list the natural ingredient percentage of the base. Better yet, use organic ingredients where possible and list the organic ingredient percentage.

Third "premium" base I've used and sadly, another strike out. :( This lotion leaves a milky white film on the skin and does not readily absorb. Caused breakouts in over half of my testers. Again, good job on the health conscience ingredients...but just not worth it.

Got a small order to try and I love the silky, smooth feel. Want to order more but you are out of stock. Thank you for keeping the paraben out. Is the shelf life only 6 months?

I purchased the premium body lotion for my gift line to mix with aromatherapy, but when I read the ingredients I thought -- Why not try it on my face and see what happens? I gave myself two weeks of using it under my makeup and at night. I saw the fine lines around my mouth become much less pronounced.

I'm not sure if I like the heavy coco butter smell personally, but it's a *super* lotion. It leaves no greasy residues and it works wonderful as a hand cream. Most hand creams moisturize the hands briefly right after application, but this one just makes my hands soft and supple for a long time. It's just as good as Kiehl's famous hand cream, if not better! Love it! Can you make the shelf life longer, though? 6 months is a bit short.

I absolutely LOVE your Ultra Premium Lotion & Body Butter!!! This lotion has all of the ingredients in it that I want in a lotion. I feel very strongly about using products that do not have petrolum byproducts in them, so I really appreciate the fact that these wonderful bases are without those ingredients! I would also like to try the shampoo, at some point. I have been checking the website off and on for several months now, but each time I've checked these items are out of stock. :-{ Will these products be restocked and if so, when?

I purchased for a facial cream and was a little worried at the thickness, but I'm amazed how easily it is absorbed and not greasy at all! Add my essential oils with no problem. Am very pleased with this product!

The Ultra Premium Lotion Base has been the "find of the century" for me. This lotion is very lush and readily absorbed into the skin leaving it fresh and so moist. Recently I had a very serious reaction to a medication prescribed by my doctor, the side effects included swelling to my face and it also became extremely rashed and irritated. Around my eyes I had deep craters from the fever and swelling. I used this cream probably 10 times a day to help hydrate my skin. I was truly concerned about permanent wrinkles left over after the swelling and rash disappeared. But I most happy to say that after using this lotion my face has returned to normal and no sign what-so-ever of wrinkles that I thought I would have.
All family and friends are in love with this lotion! Congratulations on such a great product.

This lotion is as good as the best lotions I've ever tried at a fraction of the cost! Put some of your favourite essential or fragrance oil in this and you've got something truly outstanding.

This is the most luxurious lotion base you will ever try! It goes on so smooth and is not greasy at all considering how thick it is. My skin which is normally very dry, and flaky stayed moisturized all day long. A perfect product for the cold months ahead. I think I'm addicted to it already!

I really like this product. It is a very thick lotion but not greasy. It leaves a silky feel to the skin and seems to take EO's very well.

Family and Friends who are volunteer testers all agree that this lotion is great. I am using it unscented on a daily basis on my hands (as it is soap season) and I think that it is excellent as it absorbs quickly, non greasy and appears to be providing a great barrier to the elements. Will be ordering more!

A great lotion that is receptive to additives allowing you to develop a variety of skin care lotions with this single base product. This is truly a premium product.

Super silky-smooth, excellent absorption rate on the skin, VERY thick lotion. Speaking of which, is there a pump available for the 1L size? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to "pour" it!

The Ultra Premium Lotion Base is a wonder product! The description that the product is robust doesn't do it justice. This lotion base has the best consistency of any base I have made myself or tried from other competitors. I urge anyone from the first timer to the full scale operator to give this product a try and experience the difference. Pour and add your fragrance and you have produced your lovely, hydrating lotion that is ready to compete with anything on the market today. My customers rave!!! Bravo to you New Directions - you have a winner!!!
