Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Lotion 236ml

Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Lotion is the iconic leave-on moisturising counterpart to B&BW’s bestselling Japanese Cherry Blossom fragrance range — a lightweight yet richly emollient daily body lotion designed to deliver lasting hydration while enveloping the skin in the brand’s most beloved floral signature scent: Japanese cherry blossom, Asian pear, fresh mimosa petals, white jasmine and blushing sandalwood. Produced by Bath & Body Works (Columbus, Ohio, USA; founded 1990 — the world’s largest specialty fragrance retailer) in their classic body lotion formulation, this 236ml bottle delivers 24 hours of continuous moisture through a multi-layer emollient system built on a rich yet fast-absorbing base. The moisturising backbone of the formula is a blend of time-tested skin-conditioning agents: Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) forms the primary occlusive carrier, creating a fine moisture-sealing film on the skin’s surface that significantly reduces transepidermal water loss — the fundamental mechanism of long-lasting hydration in a body lotion. It is complemented by Petrolatum, one of the most effective and dermatologist-validated occlusives known, which further reinforces the moisture barrier and contributes to the lotion’s characteristic soft skin feel hours after application. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter adds a nourishing fatty acid complex — rich in oleic, stearic and linoleic acids — that melts into the skin to restore suppleness and softness, particularly for dry or rough areas. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil contributes medium-chain fatty acids (predominantly lauric acid) with well-documented skin-penetrating and conditioning properties, supporting the overall moisturisation effect while adding a subtle skin-conditioning quality. Stearic Acid and Palmitic Acid function as fatty acid emollients and emulsion stabilisers, lending the lotion its smooth, creamy texture and contributing to barrier support. The formula’s silky, non-greasy finish — one of the hallmark sensory qualities of B&BW body lotions — is delivered by a three-component silicone system: Cyclopentasiloxane (a volatile silicone that provides an immediate smooth, cool slip on application before evaporating), Dimethicone (a non-volatile silicone that imparts a lasting smooth, soft feel and mild occlusive benefit), and Dimethiconol (a high-molecular-weight silicone that leaves a long-lasting silky film and enhances skin smoothness). Together these silicones allow the lotion to glide on and absorb quickly without a heavy or greasy after-feel, making the formula suitable for daily use regardless of climate. Skin-care active ingredients include Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), a humectant that converts to pantothenic acid in the skin to support barrier repair and moisture retention; Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), a lipid-soluble antioxidant that protects skin lipids from oxidative damage and contributes to skin conditioning; and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, which provides soothing, hydrating polysaccharides (acemannan) that calm the skin and enhance comfort. Glycerin acts as an additional humectant in the aqueous phase, drawing moisture from the environment into the skin. The emulsion is stabilised by a fatty alcohol and emulsifier system — Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth-20 — that creates the smooth, uniform lotion consistency and ensures even skin coverage on application. The preservative system in this classic formulation combines Diazolidinyl Urea (a broad-spectrum formaldehyde-releasing preservative widely used in traditional cosmetic formulations) with a paraben trio of Methylparaben, Propylparaben and Butylparaben — a robust conventional preservative approach that ensures product safety and shelf stability. As a fragrant leave-on product, the full fragrance composition declares seven named allergen components per standard INCI disclosure requirements: Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone (woody violet), Benzyl Salicylate (soft balsamic floral), Cinnamyl Alcohol (warm spiced floral), Citronellol (rose and citrus), Coumarin (warm, sweet hay-like), Eugenol (warm clove and floral) and Linalool (light floral and lavender) — together composing the warm, romantic, long-lasting cherry blossom character the fragrance is universally adored for. SLS-free, dye-free, lanolin-free, talc-free, gluten-free and propylene glycol-free. Suitable for all skin types for daily use. Note: contains Coconut Oil and parabens — those with known sensitivities to these ingredients should review the full INCI list. 236ml / 8 fl oz.
