Hand & body butters

A selection of hand made hand & body butters using 100% natural ingredients.

I make my hand & body butters using a calendula infused sunflower oil base, shea butter, vitamin E and arrow root.

The calendula has been macerated in sunflower oil to extract its soothing properties.  It regenerates damaged or broken skin. and accelerate skin repair is soothing for sensitive and dry skin.  It supports the microflora balance on the surface of the skin and has mild antiseptic properties.

The sunflower oil itself is high in vitamins A, D and E. It is good  for dry, damaged or ageing skin.  It helps the skin retain moisture  by improving the function of the skins barrier.

Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African shea tree.  It is extracted in a traditional way by a women’s cooperative that is committed to empowering local women. Shea butter is intensely nourishing to the skin, it has a rich texture and a high fat content.

I add Vitamin E to help protect and nourish the skin barrier.

The arrow root helps absorb excess oil.
