Rich, melt-on-skin body butters bring a moment of quiet intention to your daily routine — turning the simple act of moisturising into something your skin and senses will remember long after you've dressed. Our collection centres on plant-based formulas crafted with shea butter as a foundation, blended with natural botanicals and essential oils to nourish, soften and restore dry skin while filling your space with gentle, grounding fragrance.
What's inside the collection
Every pot in our body butters range is handmade in small batches using shea butter as the primary moisturiser — a deeply nourishing fat that absorbs readily without leaving a heavy residue. The shea body butters (twelve distinct blends) are then paired with complementary ingredients: avocado oil for richness, argan oil for a velvety finish, coconut oil for its familiar warmth, and aloe vera for a cooler, more gel-like finish on the skin. Scented with pure essential oils — from bright grapefruit and uplifting peppermint to floral geranium and calming lavender — each tin is a different sensory experience. All formulas are free from synthetic fragrances and are designed to be kind to dry and sensitive skin alike.
Choosing your body butter
With seventeen different blends on offer, it helps to know where to start. For dry or dehydrated skin, reach for a shea body butter with avocado or argan — both are exceptionally restorative and help to rebuild the skin's natural moisture barrier over time. If you prefer something lighter for warmer months or for use on the face and neck, the aloe vera and peppermint options absorb more quickly while still delivering deep hydration. For fragrance, let your mood guide you: citrus and mint are energising morning choices, while lavender, geranium and our sleepy coconut blend are naturally calming and well suited to an evening ritual. Every tin holds 90 g — a generous size that sits comfortably in a hand for easy application and is ideal for keeping beside your bed or in a bag.
How to use and incorporate into your routine
Apply your body butter to clean, slightly damp skin for the best absorption — a small amount goes a long way, so start with a pea-sized amount and warm it between your palms before pressing it into skin in upward strokes. It is particularly effective on rougher areas such as elbows, knees and heels, and many customers find it becomes their go-to hand cream too. For a more indulgent ritual, apply before bed and allow the essential oils to fill the room as you rest. You might also layer it over a lighter moisturiser such as our Hand & Body Lotions for particularly deep nourishment on very dry spells. Our Natural Body Care range includes complementary products — facial masks, serums and lip balms — so you can extend the ritual from head to toe.
Frequently asked questions
Are these body butters suitable for sensitive skin?
Our body butters are made without synthetic fragrances, parabens or sulphates, which makes them well tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. The shea butter base is naturally rich and gentle. If you have a known allergy to nuts or shea, please check the full ingredient list for each product before purchasing, or get in touch with us for clarification.
How long will a 90 g tin last?
It depends on how often and how much you use, but most customers find a single tin lasts several weeks of daily use. A little goes a long way — you typically need less than you might with a standard lotion.
Can I use body butter on my face?
Yes, the formulas are gentle enough for use on the face, particularly the lighter aloe vera and peppermint blends. For a dedicated facial routine, you might also explore our Facial Serums and Facial Masks which are formulated specifically for facial skin.
Are these products vegan?
Most of our body butters are plant-based and do not contain animal-derived ingredients. Please check the individual product listing for full ingredient details, as formulations can vary slightly between scents.
How should I store my body butter?
Keep the tin tightly closed and store away from direct heat or sunlight. In warm weather, the butter may soften slightly — this is perfectly normal and does not affect its quality. If it becomes too soft, simply place it in a cool spot and it will firm up again. Avoid introducing water into the tin, as this can affect the preservation of the product.
