The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion, 8.1 fl oz — Lightweight, Fragrance-Free Hydration

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion is a lightweight, fragrance-free body moisturizer that delivers immediate and lasting hydration while supporting the skin’s barrier and microbiome.

This lotion from The Ordinary blends natural moisturizing factors with prebiotic inulin to hydrate skin instantly and help maintain moisture after washing. Designed for everyday use, the fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula is accepted by the National Eczema Association and avoids common irritants like fragrance, oils, and silicones. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and formulated to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier with ingredients such as urea, PCA, and amino acids.

How quickly will this lotion hydrate my skin?

Hydration is immediate on application and formulated to last throughout the day. The lotion-textured formula sinks in fast, leaving skin feeling soft without a heavy residue.

• Instant moisture upon application for immediate comfort
• Humectants like urea and PCA attract and retain water
• Lightweight emollients prevent sticky or oily finish
• All-day hydration even after routine hand- or body-washing

Will this support a compromised skin barrier or sensitive skin?

The Ordinary’s formula includes natural moisturizing factors and prebiotic inulin to strengthen the skin barrier and support the microbiome without harsh additives. It’s fragrance-free and accepted by the National Eczema Association, making it a good option for those with sensitivity concerns.

• Prebiotic Inulin helps maintain a healthy skin microbiome
• Natural moisturizing factors like amino acids and PCA reinforce barrier function
• Free from fragrance, oils, silicones, and gluten
• Non-greasy texture suitable for daily use on sensitive skin

How is this different from richer creams or body butters?

This body lotion prioritizes lightweight hydration and quick absorption over heavy occlusion. While richer creams provide dense, long-term occlusive protection, this product focuses on replenishing moisture and maintaining barrier health without a thick film.

• Lotion texture absorbs faster than thick creams or butters
• Provides sustained hydration via humectants rather than heavy oils
• Better choice for warmer climates or daytime use under clothing
• Ideal when you want hydration without a heavy or sticky feel

How should I use it in my daily routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin anytime you need moisture—after showering, handwashing, or throughout the day. Use consistently to support barrier recovery and maintain hydration levels.

• Apply generously after bathing to lock in moisture
• Reapply on dry spots or after washing hands for ongoing hydration
• Can be used morning and night as needed for body care
• Layer under clothes easily thanks to its non-greasy finish

Who this product is for: The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion is aimed at anyone seeking a no-frills, effective daily body moisturizer: people with normal to sensitive skin, those looking to support a weakened skin barrier or microbiome, and anyone who prefers a lightweight, quick-absorbing lotion over heavy creams. It suits users who want a fragrance-free, vegan, and dermatologist-friendly option accepted by the National Eczema Association for gentle, everyday hydration.
