Good things are worth the wait! Living Libation’s newly reformulated Seabuckthorn All Over Lotion is back in stock!

This lotion is packed with amazing ingredients like rose hydrosol, jojoba, kaduku plum, seabuckthorn, shea butter, squalane, amino acids and antioxidants. This lotion feels like silk and is designed to deeply hydrate head to toe, while being gentle and nourishing for facial skin too.

We’re excited and grateful to have this beautiful product and so many more Living Libations on our shelves 💖
