Aging Skin

Treat your skin to this luxurious moisturizer. Body butter is unique in that it incorporates both the moisturizing benefits of pure, straight oil and the emollient advantages of a body lotion. This offers the best of both worlds for your skin. A thick, creamy butter will heal as it protects. Dry skin? Body butters to the rescue! The ideal solution for flaky, dry skin, this moisturizer is highly concentrated... much richer than a body lotion. Lotions are made largely of water. Body butters, on the other hand, are created entirely from plant oils, nut butters, and other skin-enhancing botanicals... no water!

It's true... a body butter will feel slightly greasy on skin when first applied. But this is only temporary. The product is quickly absorbed by skin. And it has staying power. An application will last all day long... much longer than a lotion.

Butters are widely popular... and with good reason. Once you use body butter, you'll understand why. An application in the morning and another at night will work wonders on dry skin.

There are many varieties and brands on the market. While each is unique, most share a few common ingredients including:

*Natural Oils

*Plant butters

*Healing botanicals

The skin-softening power comes from a distinct combination of natural moisturizers...

Nut Butters

Cocoa Butter: This natural moisturizer comes from the cocoa bean... the prized bean that is the source of our beloved chocolate. Cocoa butter even smells like chocolate! In addition to providing us a yummy treat, it's a superb moisturizer. It is easily absorbed when applied to warm skin. It is softening and healing.

African Shea Butter: Also known as African Karité, it has a soft, creamy texture, with a slightly smoky odor. Softer than cocoa butter, it is moisturizing and gentle. Used in Africa for centuries, it comes from the nut African Shea tree. Shea is a superb moisturizer and is often used as a stand alone product. It penetrates skin deeply, preserving skin elasticity as it revitalizes and softens. (Note that pure shea butter has a slightly smoky aroma).

Mango Butter comes from the seeds of mango fruit. Light yellow in color, its texture is similar to shea butter. It's an excellent moisturizer that quickly melts when applied.

Oils

Coconut Oil - Prized for its skin conditioning properties, this oil is light and smells like fresh coconut. It offers protection from the damage of skin-aging free radicals. It smoothes skin by removing dead cells on the surface. Deeply penetrating, it strengthens the tissue below.

Jojoba Oil - This wax like liquid is derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant. Native to the United States Sonora Desert, it is treasured by Native American Indians. It has a silky feel and, unlike other oils, is odorless. An ideal moisturizing ingredient, it maintains moisture and skin elasticity.

Palm Oil - Made from the fruit of the oil palm, it has been consumed in the tropics for over 5,000 years. High in antioxidants that protect against damaging free radicals, it contains a powerful form of vitamin E. This particular antioxidant is particularly beneficial to skin.

Rejuvenate your skin with all natural, replenishing body butter. Your skin will thank you!
