Body Butters are high above a simple moisturizing lotion. Body butter should contain natural butters and oils, made without chemicals contained in most store moisturizers. Body butter shouldn't contain any water, preservatives or colors, therefore making them thicker and better then most brands in the stores today, and lasting longer with all the benefits.
Body butter provides a rich emollient, penetrating the skin that can't be duplicated in most lotions. The richness and smoothness of a body butter is a “supreme” experience for all first time users. Body butter is created light, luxurious and feels heavenly.
Body butter can be used anywhere on the body, including face, hands, feet and anywhere you wish to have smooth silky skin.
Natural body butter melts upon contact with your skin. I use a base butter of Avocado, which is high in vitamins and mineral content, known to benefit dry skin.
Body butter should be whipped and made with natural oils and essential oils so they're light and easily applied. No colors should be used which can stain clothes. A properly made body butter that hasn't been overly processed will have a consistency of cream cheese frosting and should absorb completely in 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how much one uses.
I use Meadowfoam Seed Oil, composed of fatty acids with a remarkably high level of oxidative stability. Meadow Seed Oil is one of the most stable triglycerides known. Meadow Seed Oil provides good emollience with out being overly greasy. Meadow Seed Oil absorbs quickly and leaves a lighter feel then other oils.
Essential oils used in body butter will provide a pure and natural scent, which other manufactured scents have chemical undertones. Making body butters with essential oils have additional benefits for health, wellness, and medicinal properties.
I hope that the next time you buy skin care products you'll remember what I've said here. I make my body butters following what I've written here. Please stop by my web page(www.soapboxkitchen.com), and see all the natural products I offer.
