This natural body butter can also be used as a face cream and as a hand cream.

How will this product benefit your skin?

This natural body butter combines the moisturising action of Squlane, Jojoba and Linden Flower Extract with the regenerative properties of Shea Butter and Sea Buckthorn. The Coconut Oil will  help boost skin's natural defence against microbes, while the Beeswax and Zinc Oxide will form a protective barrier, helping to lock moisture in the skin.

Tips for using the Natural Body Butter for Sensitive Skin

• Apply after washing and drying, while your skin is still moist. Alternatively, massage into wet skin (after any soap or shower gel has been rinsed off) and dry as normal. 
• Apply about one third of the amount you would apply with a conventional, water-based body lotion. Unlike conventional creams and lotions, which are typically two thirds to three quarters water, this cream contains no water at all. It is formulated to spread thinly onto your skin and it will go a long way. Spreading the cream on your palms before putting it onto your body will make it easier to apply a thin, even layer.
• To use this product as a face or hands cream, apply on damp or wet skin.
• Store away from direct sunlight and any other source of heat. As this product contains no artificial emulsifiers, its consistency will vary with the temperature at which it is stored. If exposed to heat, it will soften and even melt. If this happens, it will not affect the cream's properties - to restore its normal consistency, simply move the cream to a cooler place. Always keep the jar upright when opening. If the cream hardens after exposure to cold, just press onto its surface and it will soften under your fingers.
