The lotion is white and in a vegetable emulsifier so substantially thinner than the Crème so that it may work well within the spray and roll-on applications. It has a very pleasant aroma, is nourishing to the skin and leaves no oily residue when rubbed in. Convenient if you need to apply it to multiple people, share it with strangers or large surface areas of skin. It is not an aerosol which means you do not lose a lot in the air.
