What is body lotion?
Body lotion refers to moisturising lotions applied to the skin of the body to treat dryness and add scent or care benefits. People search it to compare brands, ingredients and prices, especially as seasons turn cold and dry. In practice, shoppers look for fragrance-free, sensitive-skin, shea, ceramide and scented options. It is a large, mature category dominated by big brands and retailers. Opportunities exist in niche formulations, ingredient trends and subscription or refill models, but the generic keyword is highly competitive.
