In the skincare space, The Ordinary is beloved for its affordable, ingredient-focused formulas and the brand is extending its expertise in facial care to the skin below the neck with The Ordinary body care. The brand's debut body care trio includes a Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum, a Niacinamide 5% Face & Body Emulsion and the Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion.
While the Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion is fragrance-free, it speaks to a specific type of skincare consumer more interested in enhancing comfort than personal fragrance. With powerhouse ingredients like moisturizing allantoin, skin-softening urea and inulin, a natural prebiotic, this lotion provides the care and comfort people deserve at an affordable price, and without the stickiness or heaviness that sometimes deter people from using whole-body skincare.
