For those that have allergies, since lotion is just oil plus water plus an emulsifier, you can use almost any cooking/seed/nut oil or butter directly on your hands and let them soak it up. You can rinse it off after you have let it soak in. Olive oil works well. Coconut oil works well, but can be drying if used too often. Jojobo is the closest to your skin, but it expensive. Canola or grapeseed also work. You can buy shea butter, avocado butter or mango butter with no added chemicals and they would feel more like lotion. If you don't have soy allergies, you can even use Crisco. But look in your pantry; I'm sure you have some oils in there that will work.
