What is Body Butter?
Body butter isn’t your average moisturizer, like lotion. It works beneath the skin’s surface to deliver intense hydration. Thicker than most body creams, it’s often packaged in a jar for easy scooping with a finger or a small spoon.
Body butter is also known to nourish and rejuvenate dry skin or inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and much more –– whether that’s all over or only on problem patches, such as elbows and knees. Rich body butter is your body care essential, especially during cooler months. Our body butter contains ingredients such as shea butter, aloe vera juice, and castor oil to lock in moisture up to 24 hours.
Body Butter: What Does It Do and How Does It Work?
If you’re new to body butters, you may be wondering: What are body butters used for? Let us break it down for you.
Soothing Dry Or Irritated Skin
If you have dry skin prone to cracking, the intense moisture from the body butter will help keep you soft and smooth. It’s also a go-to moisturizer for skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, or more minor irritations.
Protecting Your Skin
Body butter forms a barrier on your skin to help retain moisture. It also protects against environmental stressors that cause chapped skin, like wind or cold air, and sun damage.
How Do You Use Body Butter?
Body butter beginner? Here’s how to use body butter cream for your softest, smoothest skin yet.
First, start with clean skin. Apply body butter right after a shower or bath while skin is slightly damp to help lock in moisture. Then, use your fingers to scoop a generous amount. Rub it between your hands to warm it. Doing this makes it easier to apply, while also enhancing the luxurious experience.
Then, use circular motions to massage all over your body, concentrating on areas where your skin feels most dry. With our formula, you don't have to wait before dressing; you can put on your outfit immediately without worrying about oil transfer or staining.
When to Use Body Butter?
Getting the best use out of applying body butter is to remain consistent. Particularly, if you have sensitive or dry skin, it is recommended to use it daily after cleansing. If you do not have chronic dry skin or sensitive skin, you may only find it necessary to use body butters during colder months to add an extra layer of protection from the dry, brittle temperatures.
And don’t forget to pay special attention to the backs of your hands, cuticles, and heels. Applying body butter, as a night routine, to those trouble zones will have you transformed in a few days.

Body Butter FAQs
Still unsure about how to use a body butter? We’ve got answers.
Can you use body butter on your face?
Body butter is intended only for your body and isn’t tested for the skin on your face. Its rich consistency can also clog your pores and lead to blemishes. We typically recommend using the body balm or the body oil as a facial moisturizer.
Can I travel with my body butter?
It’s best to store your body butters in your checked bag if traveling by plane due to them melting and being considered a “liquid” by TSA. To avoid having your precious body butter confiscated, we recommend traveling with a body balm in your carry-on or checked-in bag with your body butter for safe arrival at your destination.
If traveling by car or train, keep away from any windows and sunlight, and your body butter will arrive unscathed.
How should I store my body butter?
To keep your body butter fresh, store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity—like a pantry or cabinet. If it melts, you can refrigerate it until it hardens.
In just a few minutes, you’ve gone from wondering how I use body butter? to being well on your way to your most hydrated skin. Trust us, your skin will thank you.
