Pros: Works really well
Cons: It drives me crazy not to be able to get all of it.
The Bottom Line: Why on earth would you put something this thick in a pump bottle?!

| azielinski's Full Review: Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion |
Today is the first day of winter and while it isn’t too cold yet, it is dry in New England and it will be getting colder any minute now. Dry and cold means that I need to pull out the heavy guns when it comes to body moisturizing…..but I don’t want to be all greasy either.
Last year, I was using something but it wasn’t quite doing what I needed and the woman who cuts my hair was listening to me moan about it. She said that she was using Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion and that it was great….excellent moisturizing and no greasy feel. I bought a bottle.
Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion is just what she said. It is a great moisturizer that goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and keeps my skin smooth, moisturized and itch free for twenty-four hours. It isn’t perfumey and doesn’t irritate my skin…..so you are wondering why I haven’t given it the highest of ratings. This comes in a pump bottle, which is fine for most moisturizers. Gold Bond, however, is very thick. It is so thick that if some in my hand and then turn my hand upside down, it doesn’t run or drip…..it just stays put. Since this lotion is in a pump bottle, though, that means that once I get to a certain level, no more is coming out of the pump and fighting to get the last ¾ inch of moisturizer out bright and early one morning is not my idea of a great way to start the day. I suppose that I could get a kitchen knife and saw the bottle open to get at the lotion but that seems like a lousy start to the day too.
I just bought another bottle a month ago. I really like this stuff but if they don’t’ put it in a wide-mouthed jar so that I can get at it, this may be my last purchase. Let’s see what the company decides to do.
I have listed the ingredients, even though I have no idea what a lot of this stuff is…..Water, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Jojoba Esters, Cetyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Stearyl Alcohol, Distearyldimonium Chloride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Steareth-21, Steareth-2, Propylene Glycol, Chamomila Recutita Flower Extract (Matricaria), Polysorbate 60, Stearamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Methyl Gluceth-20, Tocopheryl Acetate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Retinyl Palmitate, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Glyceryl Stearate, Dipostassium EDTA, Fragrance, Potassium Hydroxide, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
