Gift idea: This relaxing body butter pairs well with our lavender and patchouli soap
Shea butter is the most absorbant butter that we can use on our skin, so we use this at over 60% to get maximum benefit. When combined with sweet almond oil, argan oil and jojoba oil, all easily absorbed oils, this combination makes for a nourishing body butter, soothing even the driest skin. Arrowroot gives the body butter a beautiful silky, non-greasy, feel. There is no water added to this formulation, making our body butter extremely long lasting, as a little goes a long way.

Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. Both alcohols are present in small amounts in plants and are used to provide moisturising and stabilising properties to the body butter.
Behentrimonium methosulfate (BTMS) is a quaternary ammonium salt that reduces the slippery feel of body butter and gives it a more silky feel.
Linalool, limolene and geraniol are all found in both lavender and neroli essential oils. Although formulated within the designated safe limits set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA UK), ithey may cause an allergic reaction in a small number of cases. As with all skin care products, it’s best to do a patch test before using a large amount of the product. Should a reaction occur, stop using and seek medical advice.
