Body Butters, Creams, Lotions and Oils

Lotion: Body lotion is a moisturizing emulsion designed to hydrate, soften, and protect the skin barrier, primarily by preventing moisture loss through daily exposure to sun, wind, and heat. It is generally a fast-absorbing, light, water-based formula ideal for everyday use on the whole body, particularly for normal to slightly dry skin types.

Cream: Body creams are thick, high-oil-content moisturizers designed to provide deep hydration, nourish dry or mature skin, and seal in moisture. They are heavier than lotions, making them ideal for treating dry patches and for use in cold weather. For maximum benefit, apply daily within 3–5 minutes of showering to lock in moisture.

Body Butter:  What Is Body Butter Good For? Generally speaking, thicker moisturizers (like body butters) are ideal for dry, rough skin. They can help replenish skin's natural oils and protect the skin from stressors that would otherwise exacerbate dryness or irritation. 

Body Oils: Body oils are nutrient-dense, plant-based, or mineral-based products designed to deeply moisturize, nourish, and lock in hydration, often leaving a radiant glow. They are best applied to damp skin immediately after showering to lock in moisture. Ideal for dry skin, they improve texture, reduce fine lines, and act as a protective barrier.
