Which one should you choose?
Lotions contain water and can be tricky to formulate, especially if they contain botanical extracts. We love them because they don't leave Skin feeling greasy and smooth skin. If they contain specialized ingredients, like Glaucine, then they are specifically targeting skin firmness,as well, like our body firming milk lotion. Body lotions typically have a nice, slippery feel, glide nicely and leave skin softer. Will they create a lasting moisture barrier? No. Because they are water based and evaporate throughout the day. Lotions need to be applied often, if dry skin is an issue.
Body Butter is formulated using only oils and natural butters and contain no water. The
list of butters that can be used in a body butter is long. We locked
down a winning combination of Olive fruit oil, Hemp seed oil and Coconut
Oil. Add a skin soothing botanical extract, like Comfrey and you have a barrier butter that will comfort Sensitive skin and create up to 24
hours of moisture on your skin. Dry, Sensitive, Sensitized and Troubled
skin benefit the most from a body butter. A well formulated body butter will protect, nourish and soften even the most delicate of skin. Not forgetting how a good barrier butter strengthens the skin lipid. We don't add fragrance or
dyes to our body butter because it would defeat the goal of caring for
the skin. A body butter does take a bit longer to absorb into the skin,
but it is well worth it. The best way to use a body butter is right after a
bath or shower. Damp skin will allow greater absorption and ease of application.
You can use all three at different times, different seasons or to target
specific issues. Silky, Smooth skin is beautiful skin...but more
importantly, strong skin is the body's first line of defense. Choose
well. Choose quality and non-sensitizing ingredients.
Your body. Your rules.
