Bath & Body Works Dahlia Body Lotion 236ml

Bath & Body Works Dahlia Body Lotion is a fine-fragrance daily moisturising body lotion from Bath & Body Works (Columbus, Ohio, USA; founded 1990 — the world’s largest specialty fragrance retailer), built around the brand’s enchanting Dahlia scent — a creamy, bright floral fruity fragrance with a warmly sensual dry-down, composed of dahlia petals, crisp pear and praline, and created by master perfumer Alexis Grugeon. Launched in 2020 as part of the Dahlia collection, this 236ml lotion has developed a devoted following for its uniquely feminine yet sophisticated character — frequently described as a more accessible, softer interpretation of high-end floral gourmand perfumery, with the praline and tonka dry-down lending it an elegant warmth that is as fitting for cool-weather evenings as it is for daytime wear. The moisturising formulation is built on Bath & Body Works’ signature body lotion base: a rich yet fast-absorbing emollient system led by Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) and Petrolatum — two of the most effective and dermatologist-validated occlusive moisturisers available — which form a fine, breathable film on the skin’s surface to dramatically reduce transepidermal water loss and lock in hydration for up to 24 hours of continuous moisture. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter delivers a nourishing complex of oleic, stearic and linoleic fatty acids that restores suppleness and softness to dry skin, while Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil contributes medium-chain fatty acid conditioning with well-documented skin-penetration properties. The formula’s famous silky, non-greasy finish is produced by a trio of silicones — Cyclopentasiloxane (volatile, provides immediate glide and cool slip), Dimethicone (non-volatile, delivers lasting smoothness and mild occlusion) and Dimethiconol (high-molecular-weight, forms a lasting silky film) — which allow the lotion to absorb rapidly and leave skin feeling notably softer without tackiness or weight. Glycerin acts as an additional humectant in the water phase. Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) supports barrier repair and water retention, and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection for skin lipids. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice contributes soothing, hydrating polysaccharides (acemannan) that calm the skin and enhance post-application comfort. What distinguishes this formulation from B&BW’s standard body lotion base is the presence of three botanical actives that reflect and reinforce the Dahlia fragrance character: Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract (Madagascar vanilla bean extract, delivering warm, creamy skin-conditioning properties aligned with the praline and tonka aspects of the scent), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil (cold-pressed sweet orange essential oil, contributing a sparkling citrus radiance that mirrors the crisp pear top note of the fragrance), and Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Oil (a floral essential oil with soft rose and green facets that underpins the dahlia petal heart of the composition). These three naturals function both as fragrance-reinforcing botanicals and as skin-conditioning actives, giving the lotion a sensory depth beyond what the synthetic fragrance (Parfum) component alone would achieve. The emulsion is structured by a fatty alcohol and emulsifier system — Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth-20 — which creates the lotion’s smooth, uniform consistency and ensures even distribution on skin. The preservative system uses Diazolidinyl Urea together with Methylparaben, Propylparaben and Butylparaben, a robust conventional approach for long-term product stability. As a leave-on product, the fragrance composition declares five named allergen components: Benzyl Salicylate (soft balsamic floral), Coumarin (warm, sweet hay-like tonka facet), Limonene (fresh citrus), and Linalool (light floral), with additional naturally occurring fragrance-related constituents contributed by the Orange Peel Oil and Geranium Oil. SLS-free, dye-free, lanolin-free, talc-free, gluten-free and propylene glycol-free. Dermatologist tested. Suitable for all skin types for daily use. Note: contains Coconut Oil, parabens and a formaldehyde-releasing preservative (Diazolidinyl Urea) — those with known sensitivities to these ingredients should review the full INCI list. 236ml / 8 fl oz.
