My experience with St. Ives Hydrate Cucumber Melon Body Lotion:

The Cucumber Melon Body Lotion comes in a white dispenser bottle with a pump, which is very convenient to use. Of course, this packaging makes it non-travel friendly. The lotion is white in color.

The texture of the lotion is creamy and thick. It spreads easily on the skin and gets absorbed quickly. It contains Vitamin E and moisturizes the skin really well, while leaving it non-greasy. In spite of the thick consistency of the lotion, it feels quite lightweight on the skin.

The lotion contains cucumber and melon and smells very refreshing and fruity. It is definitely not a strong scent which might bother people with a sensitive nose. The mild fragrance lasts throughout the day.

The lotion keeps the skin very well moisturized for the entire day, in fact, until the next day when I shower. This body lotion works well in the winter too. I did not face any dry/itchy skin even in the winter with this lotion. But I enjoy using this even more in the summer due to the amazing fresh scent!

As with all St. Ives products, this body lotion does not contain any parabens and phthalates. It is formulated with all natural moisturizers – vegetable glycerin, shea butter, soybean oil. Overall, this is a great body lotion to tackle the summer heat!
