How do I use the body butter?
Start with just a fingertip’s amount - a little truly goes a long way. Warm it between your hands and gently massage into skin. Apply more as needed, especially on dry or rough areas.
This is a nutrient-dense formula and your skin will take a moment to fully absorb it. Give it time to settle in and you'll feel the difference; soft, nourished and smooth without residue.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes. Our ingredients are gentle enough for facial use, especially for dry or sensitive skin types. If you're acne-prone, patch testing is advised.
Can I use this on my baby/kids?
Many parents use it for their children because it’s gentle and natural. Keep in mind this is for topical use only.
Can I use this as a massage butter?

👃 Smell & Scent Options
Does the unscented version smell like tallow?
No. Our unscented blend does not carry a strong tallow smell. The natural scent is soft and neutral, thanks to the balance of shea butter, jojoba, sweet almond oil, and raw honey. These ingredients create a gentle, clean aroma without any added fragrance.
What does it actually smell like?
It has a light, natural scent - earthy and slightly sweet, coming from the shea and oils. It fades quickly after application and doesn’t linger.
Is it truly unscented?
Yes. We don’t add any essential oils to our unscented version. It’s ideal for those sensitive to fragrance or looking for a product with a clean, minimalist feel.
Will we offer scented variations?
We definitely will be adding seasonal scents to our line, but right now this is our most trusted blend of scents as natural as they come.
Will the scented versions be overpowering?
Never. We use only pure, high-quality essential oils in subtle amounts. Each blend is designed to enhance your skincare ritual without overwhelming your senses.
