Why Our Body Butter Feels So Good (and Actually Works)

Let’s talk about body butter.

The truth is, I avoided most of them for years. Most of the ones I tried felt really greasy and left smudges on everything I touched! I’d put it on, wait forever for it to absorb, and then feel like I needed to wash my hands again. Not exactly the luxury moment I was going for.

That’s why, when we started formulating our own body butter, I had one non-negotiable: it had to feel good on the skin—without the greasiness.

🌿 So… What Makes Ours Different?

Most whipped body butters are made from only oils and butters. That means they coat the skin with moisture but don’t actually hydrate it. Oil alone can lock in moisture—but it can’t deliver hydration to the skin. So if your skin’s already dry or dehydrated, that occlusive layer of oils and butters just sits there and doesn’t really absorb, causing the greasiness.

Our body butter is emulsified.
That means it contains both oil-based and water-based ingredients, allowing your skin to drink in hydration first—and then seal it in with nourishing butters and oils. It’s a formula that mimics the structure of your skin barrier and works with your skin, not just on top of it.

And that’s why it absorbs so beautifully.

🧪 A Look Inside the Formula

We spent a long time getting the texture right. It had to be thick and creamy—never runny—but it also had to melt into the skin with zero greasy residue.

Here’s what we use:

Butters:

  • Cocoa butter – rich, protective, and smells like chocolate (seriously)

  • Kokum butter – deeply restorative, firm without being heavy

  • Shea butter – a fatty acid powerhouse that softens even the driest skin

Oils:

  • Avocado oil – full of vitamin E and essential fatty acids

  • Sweet almond & apricot kernel oils – lightweight, nourishing, and great for sensitive skin

  • Calendula herbal oil – helps soothe and restore irritated or cracked skin

Water-based ingredients:

  • Chamomile floral water – calms inflammation and brings a cooling effect

  • Vegetable glycerin – a natural humectant that draws moisture deep into the skin

Together, these ingredients hydrate, nourish, and protect—without clogging pores or leaving behind a film. The emulsified formula helps those ingredients penetrate the epidermis and deliver nutrients where your skin actually needs them.

🛏 My Favorite Way to Use It?

At night. After a warm shower or bath, when your skin’s clean and slightly damp, I take a few seconds to massage it into my hands, heels, elbows—anywhere that needs some extra love.

By morning, my skin feels soft, hydrated, and calm. No flakiness. No rough patches. Just that healthy, supple feel that sticks around.

And if you’re using it on your hands throughout the day? You’ll notice something rare: even after you wash your hands, you don’t lose that moisturized feeling. It stays. That’s the magic of balance—hydration + moisture in one.

✨ Three Options, One Perfect Formula

  • Lavender – calming and great before bed

  • Himalayan Magic – a warm floral-earthy scent with rose, geranium, and patchouli

  • Unscented – no fragrance, no essential oils, just pure hydration and comfort
