Looking for the best non-toxic body lotion made from organic ingredients without endocrine disruptors? The SKL team has done all the research and testing for you!

I am one of those people whose skin throws a fit at the slightest provocation. According to doctors, fragrances, and oxybenzone tend to cause my skin to flair up surprisingly fast.

So, rest assured that when we picked natural body lotion without chemicals for our roundup, we double-checked to make sure that all formulas are safe for people with sensitive skin.

Instead of loading up on harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances, these non-toxic body moisturizers use natural, gentle ingredients that nourish, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin.

Best Non-Toxic Body Lotions to Naturally Moisturize Dry Skin.

Your skin is a sponge—it soaks up everything you put on it, good or bad. Traditional lotions often come packed with chemicals and synthetic fragrances that might give your skin a quick fix, but in the long run, they can cause all sorts of health issues.

From irritation, and dryness, to hormone disruption and even breast cancer.

But, when you slather on a natural body lotion without harsh chemicals made with plant-based, organic ingredients, your skin “drinks it up” safely.

Shea butter, for instance, contains vitamins A and E, which help to nourish and protect your skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Cocoa butter is loaded with antioxidants that help to fade discoloration and promote healing, so you can say goodbye to those pesky reminders of the past.

Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe redness and irritation, while its moisturizing abilities help to balance oil production and keep your skin looking fresh and glowy.

One restaurant has a way to fight food waste: Making food out of 'trash'

Climate change is affecting our food, and our food is affecting the climate. NPR is dedicating a week to stories and conversations about the search for solutions.

No one, except maybe Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch, wants to consume food that most people think of as garbage.

But if everyone ate fare that might otherwise be thrown out — say, weird animal parts or milk that’s close to its sell-by date — we’d significantly reduce the impacts of human-caused climate change.

"Addressing food waste turns out to be one of the biggest climate solutions of them all," said climate scientist Jonathan Foley, who serves as executive director of the climate solutions think tank Project Drawdown.

All of the processes involved in making food, from clearing land and raising cattle to packaging and cooking ingredients, contribute to one-third of the world’s planet-warming pollution. The food waste that ends up rotting in landfills is particularly problematic.

"It causes methane to go into the atmosphere as well, and that's a really potent greenhouse gas," Foley said.

Methane traps more heat than carbon dioxide, which causes global warming. An estimated 60% of methane emissions are human-caused and come largely from agriculture, fossil fuels and food waste decomposing in landfills.

Restaurants are in an optimal position to help solve this problem.

David Murphy, chef and co-owner of Shuggie's Trash Pie in San Francisco, a restaurant that focuses on imperfect and up-cycled ingredients, previously worked in high-end restaurants. “We always demanded the best. The most perfect little Brussels sprout,” he says. Ryan Kellman/NPR hide caption
