Not so silly Sili Body Lotion Formula & Application
The Drunk Elephant Sili Body Lotion launched alongside the Kamili Cream Body Cleanser and Sweet Pitti Deodorant Cream, which I havenโt tried yet, but they look just as promising.
For skin that tends to feel overheated, especially in warm weather, this lotion is a relief. Itโs lightweight, non-greasy, and hydrating, with a watery texture that absorbs almost instantly. The white cream melts into the skin and turns transparent as you blend it in, making it perfect for summer.
Itโs one of the easiest body lotions to apply thanks to how quickly it dries, and the soft almond scent feels natural without being overpowering.
The Drunk Elephant Sili Body Lotion Packaging

The packaging alone is bound to hypnotize you into reaching for it. In typical Drunk Elephant style, it’s minimal and inviting!
It comes in sleek and classy matte plastic with classic, well-known aesthetic Drunk Elephant Design. I love their packaging, they really got it right with that!
For ยฃ17/$20 for 240 mL worth of product, it is underwhelming, Iโd say below average. But if you consider Drunk Elephant a luxury brand then the price for 240 mL of product is slightly more generous.

Sili Body Lotion Multi-Uses
Interestingly, some reviewers, claim that the Sili Body Lotion can be used in other areas too.
I already knew some Drunk Elephant products were designed to be multi-use, but it seems many of their newer releases follow the same idea. Naturally, I had to see if it could compete with my usual face moisturisers.
Thanks to its lightweight, wispy formula, some people use it as a facial moisturiser. If you donโt enjoy heavy creams, this can work well, as it sits lightly on the skin without causing redness or clogging.
That said, itโs best suited to normal, combination, or oily skin, which tend to benefit most from the ceramide blend and pH-balanced formula. Dry skin types will likely find it lacks the richness needed when used as a face moisturiser.
The brandโs founder, Tiffany Mastersonโs statements on the launch perfectly sum up why the body lotion (and their other new products) are unquestionably applicable for multi-purposes:
“I created hair + body because I want to be able to implement my philosophy from head to toe. Skin is skin โ and whether we call it the scalp or the eye area or the legs, it can only function at its healthiest when it’s treated with smart, nourishing, skin-compatible ingredients. All skin deserves to be respected.”
There are plenty of ways people have used this lotion and the rest of the hair and skincare line.
Youโll be surprised that a cleanser can replace your shaving cream, a hair scrub can replace your exfoliator, and this lotion can be your day or night moisturiser. Let me know if you come up with any other original way to use it!
Is The Sili Body Lotion Worth It?
Drunk Elephant says this lotion is for normal, dry, combination, and oily skin. I don’t have dry skin, but the lotion does a really good job of cooling down my skin.
Although it doesnโt keep my body hydrated for a whole day, it’s always a pleasant sensation when re-applying. So yes, I think this lotion is definitely more suitable for normal, combination and oily skin than dry skin.
My wear test goes like this: I apply the lotion in the morning, and another after my shower. I usually apply it again after my shower in the evening. The lotion performs fantastically even when coated on top of wet, damp skin.
The benefits and effects are lovely, my skin feels soft and silky after using the body lotion. And the functionality of the product I think is worth some special merits.
My Thoughts
The Drunk Elephant Sili Body Lotion is an affordable body lotion that helps thirsty skin feel replenished and hydrated. It looks classy, feels luxurious and lightweight and does the job that a body lotion should do! What more could you want?!
Drunk Elephant has become known as a brand you can rely on for quality and reliable products and the Sili Body Lotion fits right in there!

Drunk Elephant– the name caused me to read more and I’m thankful I did. I do indeed have dry skin. I’ve never had to deal with acne, but always with dry, sometimes irritated skin. I’ve tried lotions, but my skin is also quite sensitive and most cause a reaction resulting in a reddish rash.
However, I like the ingredients list for this product – I try to stay with only natural ingredients and really need to as I am also sensitive to synthetic fragrances. Have you any knowledge of sensitivity issues with this?
I have never had any reactions to using the lotion, but my skin is only slightly sensitive. The body lotion is free of sulfates, silicones, essential oils, fragrance, dyes and drying alcohols but I don’t think it only has natural ingredients.
