"...After starting to use this product, my dry skin became smoother...."

"...
Not greasy, no fake scent, just smooth young lookiing skin for hours...."

"...This is NOT fragrance free, and it STINKS!!!! The smell was so bad it actually made my stomach turn...."

--Actual user comments from Amazon.com User Reviews section

"...This is a great natural moisturizer that really soothes dry skin. I have to disagree with other reviews, I didn't find the smell to be unpleasant. It is fragrance free, which means it's not going to have a pretty smell....."

"...has an odd smell that takes away from it's effectiveness as a moisturizer...."

--Actual user comments from Drugstore.com User Reviews section

Our Final Assessment:

Burt's Bees Fragrance-Free Body Lotion with Shea Butter & Vitamin E is a mixed bag. It gets about a 60% approval rating from customers, even on the manufacturer's site. Many people complained about the smell, and a few others had an allergic reaction. It is a 99% natural product, and gets a 4 from the EWG safety database, which is on the borderline of what we like to use. The price is average for a natural product in a container of this size. Based on these factors and the lackluster customer reviews, we give this item a 6.5 rating overall.
