“It is a very nice, light scent. I have been sampling this at my local CVS because I am very sensitive to preservatives, fragrances and other chemicals normally found in lotions. This is NOT sticky, absorbs quickly and you will notice an immediate relief to your dry skin. I love this product. It has arnica in it too and I had a bruise. After a few hours of applying this lotion, the bruise had nearly disappeared.” - Albuquerque native
