As the cold weather continues to blanket the season, my skin is feeling the effects. Besides the requisite Moroccan Mint tea from Numi, and drinking lots of filtered water, I love to treat my skin to really luxurious thick and creamy body butter to restore moisture. My favorite thing to do is to cover my feet and hands in body butter before I go to sleep at night and put on soft organic socks over my feet and sometimes hands (depending on the dry skin situation).

Here are a few of my favorite body butters that are made from the most pure and luxurious ingredients. (Tip: These also work amazingly well on those mama-baby tummies during and post pregnancy).

A deep moisturizing blend of shea, cocoa and mango butter enriched with 3 different organic oils with a hint of lemongrass essential oil is 100% natural.

It will help condition, soften and smooth the skin and prevent dryness especially on drier regions such as the knees, elbows and feet. For the the best results use after bathing while the skin is still slightly damp.

Ingredients: Organic Shea Butter ( Butyrospermum parkii), Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma caco), Mango Butter (Mangifera indica), Organic Palm Oil, (Elaeis guineensis), Organic Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Organic Safflower Oil (Carthamus tinctorius), Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil (Cymbopogon flexuosus), Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

PLEASE NOTE: Since the body butters are 100% natural with no fillers, when ordering during the summer months or in warmer climates, butters may arrive in a melted state. Let it set again and use.

Sante Face & Body Butter

The three varieties of Sante Face & Body Butter provide a pure and rich form of skin care ideal for your face, throat, and decollete – exposed areas that often become dry and appear visibly stressed. Similarly, other areas of your body that tend to develop a rough and dry texture and appearance, such as your hands, elbows and knees, also benefit directly from the type of rich care of these skin care butters.

Upon contact, these water-free formulations melt into your skin to combine perfectly with its protective hydro-lipid film (acid mantle). The deep moisturizing therapy visibly relaxes your skin, improving its elasticity and texture. Each Sante Face & Body Butter contains natural Vitamin E to help protect your skin from free radicals and other negative environmental influences, and reinforces your skin’s own regenerative processes.

These natural products liquify at about 40°C (104°F), and will re-solidify at a cooler temperature. For best results, store in a cool location.

Enjoy!
