Verdict:
In early May 2018, I attended the skin of color seminar in New york . Whole I was there we received a few goodie bags of little products to test out. Fast forward to three days ago, I was just about to jump in the shower and I realized I was out of shower gel. I immediately went to my skincare cupboard, started digging through looking for any substitute. I found this bar soap , which was formulated for the face. My thoughts were,well if its good enough for my face it should be fab for my body and I think I am hooked. I ran out of the small sample bar and I couldn't help myself, I ran to my nearest Target and bought another set. I will share a full review after a couple of weeks

AMMONIUM LACTATE

MINERAL OIL

Verdict
I have had a lot of enquiries about this product. Years ago I used it but in recent times, I have switched to using DCL ; another body lotion with lactic acid as one of the active ingredient. I have recommended it to my clients of various ages and various concerns because it's a good moisturizer that gradually addresses concerns from KP to dry skin.
Remember to wear sunscreen.
