Introduction

We were inspired to make this lotion by the Marula Oil. This light lotion is fluid, quickly absorbs with minimal residue, and gives the skin a velvety feel. It won't be a great foot moisturizer due to the light feel and quick absorption, but it does work wonders on hot and sweaty skin.
