Can anyone suggest a non-greasy and affordable paleo body lotion for very dry skin?

I have very dry skin (due to past use of accutane - never again). Heavy Eucerin-type lotions tend to be the only ones that work well for me, but the ingredients list is sketchy.

I’m on a budget, so the fancy, 40$ paleo creams are not feasible for me. I’ve tried using coconut oil and other oils in the past, but the problem is that when I use them as an entire body moisturizer, I often end up getting grease stains on my clothes. Any suggestions?

An added caveat is that I don’t want to use animal fat - though I suspect it would be equally as greasy.

This sounds great! Do you have to worry about it staining your clothes, or does it absorb pretty quickly and not stain? I’ve found that straight coconut oil stains.

Posting Guidelines

Do not act like your One True Paleo™ is the be-all, end-all and is perfect for for every human on Earth. You should really not use the words “you need” here, unless they’re followed by something like “to talk to your doctor”. It’s very unlikely that you know what the person you’re replying to needs, and pretending otherwise can be confusing for people new to this world.

Please report:

Spam, harassment, people generally being dicks (including people acting like their Paleo™ is “correct” and others are wrong), posts that aren’t relevant to paleo/primal. That sort of thing.

Please don’t report:

Posts you disagree with, posts you don’t like, posts that don’t fit your version of paleo or are

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is don’t be afraid to experiment. If something is working well for you, don’t worry if it isn’t “strict paleo,” because there’s no such thing. Paleo is more of a framework than a set of rules.
