Body Care

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of products are in your body care collection?

Our body care collection covers the full range of skin and body needs beyond cleansing. You’ll find body butters, lotions, body oils, scrubs, deodorants, hand and foot creams, and body powders — all made with plant-based ingredients and scented with essential oils or naturally derived fragrances.

What’s the difference between a body butter and a lotion?

Body butters are rich, oil-based formulas made primarily from shea butter, cocoa butter, or similar plant fats with little to no water content — intensely nourishing and ideal for very dry skin. Lotions are lighter water-and-oil emulsions that absorb more quickly, making them a better everyday option for normal to moderately dry skin. Body butter for deep moisture, lotion for daily maintenance is a good rule of thumb.

Does your natural deodorant actually work?

It does — though it works differently than conventional antiperspirant. Our deodorant neutralizes odor-causing bacteria using naturally derived ingredients like baking soda, arrowroot powder, and essential oils, rather than blocking sweat glands with aluminum compounds. If you’re making the switch from antiperspirant, give your body a week or two to adjust.

Are your body scrubs safe for sensitive skin?

Our body scrubs use natural exfoliants like sugar, sea salt, and ground botanicals rather than synthetic microbeads or harsh abrasives. Sugar scrubs in particular are gentle enough for most sensitive skin types because sugar dissolves as you scrub, reducing the risk of micro-tears.

Are your body care products free from synthetic fragrances and parabens?

Yes. Our entire body care line is scented exclusively with pure essential oils or naturally derived fragrances, and formulated without parabens, synthetic preservatives, or petroleum-derived ingredients. Full ingredient lists are available on every product page.

When is the best time to apply body butter or lotion?

Right after a shower or bath is the most effective time to moisturize. Applying while your skin is still slightly damp helps lock in hydration because the moisturizer seals water into the skin rather than just sitting on a dry surface. Pat dry with a towel, leaving a little moisture on your skin, then apply immediately.
