Organic Coconut & Vanilla Body Milk 375 ml

The Coconut & Vanilla Body Milk by Eco by Sonya is the successor to the popular Coconut Body Milk—with an even richer formula that still feels wonderfully light on the skin. It absorbs quickly, is non-sticky, and is exactly the kind of body care you enjoy using every day.

The special feature begins with the base: Organic aloe vera juice comes first in the formula instead of water. Aloe vera moisturizes the skin and has a pleasantly soothing effect. It is complemented by plant-based glycerin and coconut, apricot, and avocado oils, which provide the skin with valuable lipids and keep it soft and supple.

• Light everyday body lotion with intensive care
• Organic aloe vera juice as the first ingredient— not water
• Moisturizes and helps keep dry skin soft and supple
• With coconut, apricot, and avocado oils as well as cocoa and shea butter
• Absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or sticky
• For soft, smooth skin with a natural glow.
• Suitable for all skin types and the whole family
• Especially suitable for dry, dehydrated, and rough skin
• Subtle natural vanilla scent
• Made exclusively with certified organic or natural ingredients
• Vegan and cruelty-free

cocoa and shea butter provide the new formula with more nourishing care without making it heavy. This gives dry or dehydrated skin exactly what it often lacks: moisture and replenishing lipids—but without the typical rich film of a body butter.

The glow is also part of the new product character. The combination of aloe vera and nourishing plant oils smooths dry skin and leaves arms and legs soft, healthy, and naturally radiant appearance.

The fragrance is new too: the previous Coconut Body Milk was fragrance-free, while the new Body Milk has a a subtle natural vanilla scent – warm and subtle, neither heavy nor sweet.

Eco by Sonya is an Australian natural skincare brand founded by Sonya Driver. The brand became known for its natural self-tanners, and its range now also includes facial and body care. The focus is on high-quality plant-based raw materials, certified organic ingredients, and uncomplicated formulations that combine effective care with a pleasant skin feel.

Application

• Apply to clean, dry skin in the morning and/or evening and massage in gently. Reapply to dry areas as needed.
• Especially pleasant immediately after showering, when the skin still retains some residual moisture.
• For even richer care, mix two drops of Glory Oil with the Body Milk.
• The Body Milk is also suitable as complementary care alongside Eco by Sonya self-tanners. Regular application helps keep the skin supple and allows the tan to fade more evenly.
• Before applying a self-tanner such as Invisible Tan, particularly dry areas such as the knees, elbows, and ankles can be lightly moisturized.

Active ingredients

• Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice / Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract) is obtained from the water-rich leaves of the desert plant. Depending on processing and concentration, the inner leaf gel contains, among other things, moisture-binding polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidant plant compounds. Aloe vera intensely moisturizes the skin and helps retain water in the stratum corneum. The plant juice forms a lightweight film on the skin, reduces feelings of tightness, and supports the skin’s natural barrier. Its cooling and soothing properties alleviate visible redness and provide rapid relief for overheated, irritated, or sun-stressed skin. Aloe vera is therefore particularly suitable for dehydrated, sensitive, and irritation-prone skin, as well as for skincare products used after sunbathing or shaving.
• Glycerin (Glycerin), also known as glycerol, is a natural component of the skin and one of the most proven moisturizers in cosmetics. This sugar alcohol has a strong ability to attract water and bind it in the stratum corneum. As a result, glycerin increases the skin’s moisture content, reduces dryness, and ensures a smoother, softer, and more elastic skin surface. It also supports the skin’s natural barrier function and the even shedding of dead skin cells. Particularly dry, sensitive, or stressed skin affected by cleansing and environmental factors benefits from glycerin-containing formulations. In creams, glycerin is often combined with replenishing lipids that help preserve the bound moisture in the skin over the long term.
• Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil) is a solid plant oil with a high proportion of lauric acid and other medium-chain fatty acids. It forms a protective lipid film, reduces water loss, and leaves dry, rough skin feeling soft and supple. Virgin Coconut Oil also has antioxidant and inflammation-modulating properties and may support the barrier function of stressed skin. In haircare, coconut oil penetrates the hair fiber comparatively well, reduces protein loss, and protects lengths and ends from dryness and breakage. It also reliably dissolves makeup and oil-soluble residue when used as a cleansing oil. However, pure coconut oil is not always ideal for very oily facial skin or skin prone to clogged pores.
• Cocoa Butter (Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter) is obtained from the seeds of the cocoa tree. This plant butter, which is solid at room temperature, primarily contains stearic, oleic, and palmitic acids, as well as natural tocopherols and phytosterols. It melts on contact with the skin, spreads smoothly, and forms a rich protective film. This smooths dry and rough skin, replenishes the natural lipid film, and reduces the evaporation of existing moisture. Cocoa butter gives balms, lip care products, and body butters firmness, glide, and a velvety skin feel. It is particularly suitable for dry, chapped, or skin stressed by cold and frequent washing, as well as for dry hair lengths.
• Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil) is obtained from the kernels of ripe apricots. This lightweight plant oil contains a high proportion of oleic and linoleic acids, as well as naturally occurring tocopherols. The fatty acids smooth the skin’s surface and replenish the lipids of the natural protective barrier. This helps apricot kernel oil reduce moisture loss and leave dry or rough skin feeling soft and supple. It spreads easily and leaves the skin feeling velvety and well cared for. Apricot kernel oil is particularly suitable for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin, as well as for skincare products designed to protect the skin from drying out. In haircare products, it smooths the hair’s surface and gives dry lengths greater softness and shine.
• Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) is obtained from the kernels of the fruits of the West African shea tree. It consists primarily of stearic acid and oleic acid and contains an unsaponifiable fraction with phytosterols, triterpenes, and tocopherols. The solid plant butter melts on the skin, forms a supple protective film, and helps reduce transepidermal water loss. This makes dry, rough, or cracked areas of skin softer and more elastic. Its soothing and inflammation-modulating compounds also support sensitive and stressed skin. Shea butter is particularly suitable for lips, hands, body care, and barrier-impaired skin. In hair products, it smooths dry lengths, tames frizz, and protects the ends from further dryness.
• Avocado oil (Persea Gratissima Oil) is obtained from the fruit pulp and offers a range of skincare benefits. Avocado oil is a rich plant oil with a high oleic acid content. Depending on the manufacturing process, it also contains linoleic acid, tocopherols, phytosterols, and carotenoids. It complements the lipids of the skin's natural protective barrier, reduces moisture loss, and makes dry, rough, or flaky skin soft and supple. The fruit extract provides moisture, soothes stressed skin, and smooths a rough skin surface. Avocado is therefore particularly suitable for dry, mature, sensitive, or barrier-impaired skin. Its rich care helps soften fine lines caused by dryness and supports a smoother, more elastic-looking complexion. In hair care, avocado oil forms a protective layer around the hair fiber, smooths the cuticle, and reduces friction. As a result, dry and brittle lengths become softer, easier to comb, and shinier. Existing structural damage is not permanently repaired, but the hair is protected from further dryness and breakage.
• Vitamin E refers to a group of fat-soluble antioxidants; in cosmetics, tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate are primarily used. Tocopherol helps protect skin lipids and formulation oils from oxidative degradation and supports the skin in dealing with UV and environmental stress. It strengthens the lipid film, reduces moisture loss, and makes dry or rough skin softer and more supple. Its inflammation-modulating properties can soothe irritated, sun-stressed, or sensitive skin. Tocopheryl acetate is more stable, but must first be converted into the active form in the skin.

FAQ

What is new about Eco by Sonya's Body Milk?
The Body Milk is the evolution of the popular Coconut Body Milk. New additions include apricot kernel oil, cocoa and shea butters, and a subtle natural vanilla fragrance. As a result, the moisturizer is richer while still feeling pleasantly lightweight on the skin.

What skin type is the Body Milk suitable for?
It is suitable for all skin types. It is particularly recommended for dry, dehydrated, and rough skin that needs both moisture and nourishing lipids.

Is the Body Milk rich or rather lightweight?
Both—and that is precisely its strength. Coconut, avocado, and apricot oils, as well as cocoa and shea butters, provide intensive care, while the lotion absorbs quickly and leaves no heavy or sticky feeling on the skin.

Why is aloe vera the first ingredient?
The Body Milk is based on organic aloe vera juice instead of water. This means aloe vera is not just a minor addition, but forms the basis of the formulation and intensely moisturizes the skin.

What does the new Body Milk smell like?
It has a subtle, warm vanilla fragrance of natural origin. Unlike the previous Coconut Body Milk, the new version is therefore no longer fragrance-free.

Can I use the Body Milk together with self-tanner?
Yes. Regularly moisturizing keeps the skin supple and helps self-tan fade more evenly. Before applying self-tanner, particularly dry areas such as the knees, elbows, and ankles can be lightly moisturized with the Body Milk.
