Whipped Body Butter | FAQ

In a nutshell, whipped body butter is a richer, more concentrated form of lotion. It is generally made up of plant based butters and oils (no water at all), hand or machine whipped into a light and fluffy cream. Body butters are used to hydrate and moisturise your skin, and are especially effective in softening and rejuvenating dry/lacklustre skin. 

The best thing about whipped body butter? All the ingredients are active ingredients! This means every ingredient serves a purpose; to heal and bring back life to our biggest organ- our skin.

The most generally used ingredient in whipped body butters is Shea Butter. Derived from the Shea nut, this Butter is packed with vitamins and nutrients that condition and soothe your skin. Our formula contains Shea, Mango and Cocoa butters, each selected for their amazing skin benefits, and their contribution to the amazing texture of our body butter. 

FAQ

• is whipped body butter for everyone? 

Absolutely! Everyone deserves a bit of luxury. All of our scents contain chemical free essential oils and fragrances. We also include only 1% of essential oils in our formulas, so they are safe to use during pregnancy and baby safe. If you are still on the fence, we also have an unscented butter that contains no fragrances or essential oils. Made with babies, pregnant women and people with sensitive skin in mind.

• will it feel greasy?

No! While body butters are much more emollient than lotions and generally have a greasy feel, our formulas contain high quality arrowroot powder, which absorbs excess oil and helps your butter soak into your skin. Please be aware however, that if it’s your first time using whipped body butter, it may feel oilier than you’re used to initially.

• will body butter clog my pores?

Nope! All oils and butters used are non comedogenic, and safe for all skin types. 

• will it melt?

   This is possible if your environment gets very hot. Our formula contains cocoa butter, which has a super hard consistency and helps to prevent your butter from melting. Your butter will stay whipped in normal-high room temperature. Also, all butters are double whipped, refrigerated before shipping, and dispatched via Royal Mail 24hr shipping with insulated packaging. To further avoid your product melting, please store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. In the unlikely event that your butter does melt, you can refrigerate it. This will change your whipped butter to more of a balm texture. To revert it, you can lightly whip it yourself for a few minutes after refrigeration. 

 Whipping butters adds tiny air bubbles that increase their size and changes their texture, making the butter light and fluffy. If a whipped product melts, the air bubbles are collapsed, so the volume is decreased. So although the jar was filled to the top, if the butter melts, there will be less volume in the container.  The container may actually look half full.

•can I use this on my hair?

1000%. All of our ingredients are natural and cosmetic/food grade, and safe to use on your hair or skin.  

• how long will my butter last?

Up to 12 months. Please be aware that this product is natural, and contains no water or preservatives. And while being made up of oils and butters means it doesn't need a preservative, the introduction of water into your jar will significantly reduce your products shelf life. To avoid this, scoop out your butter with your wooden spoon, or dry hands.
