Yu-Be Moisturizing Body Lotion Gets Spa Boy Seal of Approval

May 1, 2009

The poor Spa Boy. He lives in a world swathed in flowery balms, sweet-smelling lotions and girly gels and creams. He shuns it all for his simple regimen of washing head to toe in Head & Shoulders and the occasional dousing of sunscreen. "Thanks for that new lotion stuff," he announced one day. "I like it." Oh Lord, I thought. Please tell me I didn't leave my precious sample of Creme de la Mer on his vanity. "Oh sure, glad you like it," I said as I made a beeline to the bathroom where to my relief, I found my bottle of Yu-Be Moisturizing Body Lotion sitting pretty next to his man tools. The new lotion is a lighter version of Yu-Be's Moisturizing Skin Cream -- a cult fave in beauty circles for its amazing healing power for dry, cracked, itchy skin. Like the skin cream, the glycerin-based lotion has a distinctive camphor aroma, which dissipates quickly and glides on smoothly with a blend of vitamins E and B2 to soothe moisture-starved skin. Yu-Be was originally developed in 1957 by a Japanese pharmacist determined to create a non-petroleum based skin soother, and the line has since grown to include the body lotion, a Foaming Skin Polish with rice bran and bamboo and a Lip Therapy balm for replenishing dry lips. The Yu-Be line of products have no artificial colors, fragrances, oils or petroleum and are based on the original formulation of the best-selling skin cream. And with all my girl power lotions and balms, the body lotion is one product that I don't mind sharing, especially if it makes the Spa Boy happy.
