Plant Butters for Skin: The Ones We Use and Why
People sometimes ask me why our products feel so rich. The answer is simple: plant butters. Here are the ones we use the most, and what each one does for your skin.
Shea Butter
This is our number one. Shea butter helps skin hold on to moisture and feels creamy and soft. It's in every soap bar we make, plus our body butters, lotion bars and whipped soap. Read more in 5 Amazing Benefits of Shea Butter.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk goes into every bar of soap we make. It gives a rich, creamy lather that feels gentle on your skin.
Mango Butter
Mango butter is a little lighter than shea butter and soaks in nicely. You'll find it in our Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter and our Conditioner Bar, where it helps leave hair soft.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is rich and smells a little like chocolate. We use raw organic cocoa butter in our Bath Truffles for a soft, creamy bath.
Castor Oil
Castor oil makes a thick, rich lather. It's one of the key oils in our NUTRIENT FOCUS Shampoo Bar.
Aloe Vera
Okay, it's not a butter, but aloe is too good to leave out. It's cooling and light. We use it in our body butter and conditioner bar.
Our Tip
Butters work best on damp skin. Put on your body butter right after you shower, while your skin is still a little wet.
