Pure Body Butter

If the body butter you purchased contains essential oils, do not add more. We use recommended safe amounts of essential oils to our products, and adding more could cause harm to your beautiful skin and body.

If you love using your own essential oi blends, purchase the Pure Body Butter. It’s unscented, making it the perfect base for adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Just temper (instructions here) and add your favorite essential oil while whipping.

Products labeled with a melt warning are designed to melt around body temperature. Especially in the summer months or in hot climates, these products can melt in transit. If these products arrive melted, we won’t be able to replace or refund them, so please order at your own risk.

If melting does happen, you can simply pop the product into the fridge to solidify and it will still be usable (though may not look as pretty!). If your product was whipped, see our how to restore whipped body butter post.

Once meltable products arrive, keep in a cool spot away from direct sunlight.

Our soaps are packaged in organic cotton bags (made in the USA). You can reuse them as tea bags (please wash them first though!), or soap sacks. To use as a soap sack, place the small ends of soap bars into the sack until you have a small stash. Then, wash with the soap sack as a washcloth. They also make great garden soap sacks (just hang from the spigot).

Tooth suds, conditioner bars, facial powers, shower steamer 2 tablets, and sample bars are packaged in glassine bags which are 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable.

Our labels are printed on recycled label stock, and are recyclable.

Herbal salves are packaged in a reusable and recyclable metal tin… and they’re made in the USA.

Our hair tea is packaged in biodegradable cello bags made from wood cellulose fibers sourced with sustainable forestry principles, certified biodegradable, compostable and made carbon zero. Each bag meets ASTM D6400, EN13432 standards for CA and other states.

Our soapbox boxes are made from 100% recycled content, are 100% recyclable, and are made in the USA!

We ship with sustainable materials too! Smaller orders are shipped in sustainable paper padded envelopes (made from recycled materials, recyclable & naturally biodegradable). Larger orders ship in USPS flat rate packages that meet Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification standards. And, they are fully recyclable (including the padded shipping mailers which are made from #4 recyclable plastic).

Body butter is a great way to lock in moisture for your entire body. We have customers who use it every day on hair, face, and all the way to their toes! Simply scoop out a small amount of the butter, warm in your hands, and apply.

• Use it after your shower and you just might find that you do not need to reapply throughout the day, as you would with a typical lotion.
• Apply a pea sized amount of body butter to ends of your hair for a super intense conditioner.
• Body butter is a wonderful moisturizer for your face but only use a tiny dab.
• Rub an ample amount on dry feet, cover with socks and wake up with supple moisturized toes.

We jar our body butter when it’s whipped, silky, and smooth. But, if your jar was left in the car on a hot day, it could have melted and developed a grainy texture. The good news is that it’s perfectly safe to use and won’t affect the performance of the body butter.

The graininess (or butter bumps) are a result of different fatty acids cooling down at different temperatures. If you want to restore the wonderful whipped texture you can re-whip your body butter. This post explains how to restore your body butter to its silky smooth whipped state.
