Grateful Body Gentle Moisturizer

The story of Grateful Body is an inspiring one. It begins with the tragic loss of the founder and principle formulator, Shannon Schroter's, two sisters from cancer while in their 20's. This event triggered years of intense study of Traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and western herbal medicine in order to understand the essentials of healing. Over time, Shannon created his first apothecary and healing recipes in 1984. In 1998, Grateful Body was created in order to provide vital formulas that could genuinely support the skin and body. All of Grateful Body's products are vegan and gluten-free, plant-based and derived from biologically-active soil, are nourishing and support the skin, and create a synergy that help skin manage varied environmental and chronological pressures. Products include cleansers, toners, facial serums, moisturizers, and body oil.

One of the many wonderful things about Grateful Body is the product line has a variety of lines for specific skin types including One Love for aging skin, Gentle for sensitive skin, Clear for blemish prone skin, and Venus for skin with hormone-related issues.

The Gentle Moisturizer is light-weight, gentle, and very moisturizing. Although it is unscented, the various botanical ingredients shine through to provide a light herbal fragrance. The ingredient list is packed with super natural, high quality, nourishing ingredients. Although all of its ingredients are noteworthy, included in the formulation are St. John's wort, yarrow, figwort, chamomile, aloe leaf juice, sunflower oil, sesame oil, black cumin seed oil, and red raspberry seed oil. An important characteristic to note of Grateful Body is that their products are not the typical natural skincare and instead contain very specific, healing botanicals. They are definitely a company worth checking out if you are interested in healing skincare formulated with great attention to detail and knowledge of botanicals.
