Please share your experience with Beekman Body Cream vs Josie Maran Body butter

Hello everyone,

I have always used Josie Maran body butter. Most often unscented, but I do enjoy Vanilla Bean as well. I am courious how the Beekman body creams compare to Josie's body butter. I'm interested in your experiece with Beekman's UNCENTED, VANILLA ABSOLUTE & POT OF GOLD body creams. Any help & advice you have time to give will be greatly appreciated. It gets so expensive returning beauty items. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.

@lindseyemmie   I love the Vanilla Absolute. The scent is light and doesn't overwhelm. I guess it's been a year since I started using all the Beekman products. the body creams are quite moisturizing although in the very cold, dry months, I did add a few drops of oil, but I do that to all my my creams and lotions. 

 

I did have an issue with the hand cream and hand lotion pumpers. They'd stuff up and then squirt out on our clothing. I purchased inexpensive pumpers from Amazon and transfered the products. It was in all bathroom sinks.

Interested in responses to this question. I don't care for either vendor so have been hesitant to order from them. I'm in need of a good moisturizer now after having used philosophy for so long, which I like but I would like more moisturization.

I have used the Beekman body cream before.  It did a decent job but not something I’m devoted to using.  I have enjoyed the Beekman soap very much but no longer buy them as I don’t wish to support their business.  I really like Hempz lotions and Tweak’d All Purpose Cream for my body.

Re: Please share your experience with Beekman Body Cream vs Josie Maran Body butter

I have both the Beekman and Josie Maran body creams. I find Josie Maran's body butter to be lighter and goes right into my skin. It plumps up the skin and leaves it feeling very soft. I find the Beekman to be thicker and stays on top of the skin longer. I use unscented in both. With Josie Maran's body butter there is no scent, but with the Beekman unscented I smell a sort of ointment smell. I use the Beekman on my legs only because I could smell it for hours when applied to my arms. I was gifted the  vanilla absolute hand and body wash and do not care for the scent. I do not smell anything that I would describe as vanilla. As a matter of fact I disliked the scent so much I gave it away because the scent lingered for hours and I could not stand it.

I have tried both, and honestly don't see that they are any better than what I can buy in the drug stores - Cetaphil or Cerevee - for 1/3 the cost.

 I do not like their hand lotion . Had bought a few sets of hand lotion liquid handsoap a few yrs ago .  I did not buy any more after that as it was not meeting my needs .I found other brands that were less drying  .I found other  brand lotioned suited my needs for dry skin.

I like the soaps and the body cream alot--and the spray scents are very nice to. Have a room freshener that is good. Tried the shampoo---not great for my hair

I HAVE  THE UNSCENTED AND THE POT OF GOLD.

ACTUALLY JUST ORDERED THE JUMBO POT OF GOLD OVER THE WEEKEND.

I LIKE BOTH VERY MUCH, BUT IT IS ALL A MATTER OF PREFERENCE.

I, MYSELF, FIND JOSIE'S A LITTLE TO GREASY AND HARDER TO ABSORB.

THE POT OF GOLD IS SO NICE IN THE WARMER MONTHS TO GIVE YOUR SKIN A GLOW.

HAPPY SHOPPING!

I have always used JM body butter in unscented.  Sometimes I try something else but always go back to it.  I have tried Beekman's body cream in unscented and its ok.  Still have some in my stash from a TSV a while ago but once I'm done with it, won't repurchase.
