We always say that we only ever use ingredients in our skincare products that are nourishing to the skin and we stick to our mantra “if you can’t eat it don’t put it on your skin”. So of course, you can expect nothing other than lovely healing and moisturising, organic ingredients in our body butters. The main ingredient in our body butters is the miracle shea butter, from the karite shea tree. Packed full of vitamins E and A which ward off free radicals that can cause damage to your skin. Shea butter penetrates deep into the dermal layers of the skin and as its properties are so similar to those that your sebaceous glands produce naturally, your body lovingly absorbs it as if it were its own!

Here are a few of the amazing results we’ve had fed back to us from some of our customers:

1. A gentleman who had had a near fatal accident at work and had deep, red, scarring around his abdomen began using our body butter daily on his scar, morning and evening and within weeks he noticed that the scar was fading.

2. A lovely lady we met last year bought our body butter whilst having a day on the beach (we had a stall at the beach market) and unfortunately, that day she got sun burned. She put the body butter all over her burnt skin and she was amazed how much better her skin was just the next morning.

3. A customer who would sometimes get contact dermatitis on her hands as a reaction to all the flour she would be touching when making cakes. The body butter cleared up her skin within a day or two.

4. An elderly lady who had a skin condition on her legs and has been prescribed creams from her GP began using our body butter instead and finally the skin on her legs began to improve!

A lot of other skin creams contain harmful ingredients that actually dry out the skin, such as alcohol and ironically, that it probably one of the least worst ingredients! So many creams contain petroleum which actually suffocates the skin and dries it out underneath. As the largest organ of the body, it’s important that the skin can breathe and function as it needs to.

It continues to amaze me the ingredients that are in creams prescribed by GPs. I often say they should be illegal! The times I’ve had customers telling me that they’ve been given a cream by their doctor but it doesn’t work. They try our body butter and the skin begins to heal!

We first launched our body butters a few years ago in just Lavender and Unscented. A further few years on we now have a range of 6 different body butters to choose from and they are flying off the shelves!
