What is Body Butter? Everything You Need to Know

If you want to treat your skin to truly intensive care, you will soon come across the term body butter. But what exactly is body butter? And why are more and more people choosing this rich product over a regular body lotion? In this article you will discover what body butter is, what it is made from and what benefits it has for your skin.

What is body butter?

Body butter is a rich, creamy product specifically developed to intensively nourish the skin and provide long-lasting hydration. The main difference from a body lotion or body cream is the texture and concentration: body butter contains a much higher percentage of plant-based butters and oils. As a result it feels richer and the effect lasts longer.

Commonly used ingredients include shea butter, cocoa butter and mango butter. These natural fats are packed with vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that help repair and protect the skin.

What is body butter used for?

Body butter is mainly used for dry, sensitive or irritated skin. Because it is richer than regular lotions, it is particularly helpful for dry patches such as elbows, knees and heels, after-sun care, skin sensitive to cold or wind, and improving skin elasticity.

The benefits of body butter

  1. Intensive hydration — the high concentration of plant-based butters helps lock in moisture more effectively.
  2. Protects and repairs — antioxidants and vitamins support the natural skin barrier.
  3. Natural and sustainable — choosing a natural body butter without parabens or mineral oils means your skin gets only the best.

How do you use body butter?

Use body butter after showering or bathing, while your skin is still slightly damp. Melt a small amount between your hands and massage in gently. Because it is so concentrated, only a little is needed for a big effect.
