Help Me Choose: Body Moisturizers

Moisturizing: Simple, Natural Care for Healthy Skin

Choosing a body moisturizer shouldn’t feel overwhelming.

The skincare world is full of lotions and creams promising miracles, yet many rely on water, fillers, and preservatives that offer only temporary softness.

Our approach is different. We craft rich, concentrated, water-free moisturizers made with nourishing plant oils and butters — no synthetic fragrances, no artificial colors, no preservatives. 

These emollient formulas melt into the skin to lock in moisture, creating long-lasting softness and protection from everyday dryness.

Unlike water-based lotions that disappear within seconds, our creams take a few minutes to absorb, but the results are worth the wait. With our moisturizers, you will find that you need to reapply less often, enjoying softer, healthier-looking skin for longer.

Because every skin type has different needs, we offer a variety of textures and formulas. With so many options, choosing the right moisturizer can feel overwhelming.

This guide will help you understand how each type of moisturizer works, how it feels on the skin, and why you might choose one over another.

A Silky Application Trick

If you prefer the feel of a lotion, try applying oil-based moisturizers to warm, damp skin immediately after bathing. The oils blend with the water on your skin to create a lighter, lotion-like feel that absorbs more easily and feels less heavy than applying creams or oils to dry skin. At the same time, the oils form a gentle barrier that helps seal in moisture, giving you deeper, longer‑lasting hydration with a softer, lighter finish.

 

Whipped Body Butters

Our Whipped Body Butters are concentrated moisturizers made from simple, nourishing organic plant butters and oils — whipped for hours into soft, cloud‑like creams. 

We offer two types — one made with unrefined organic shea butter and one with unrefined organic cocoa butter — each crafted to melt instantly on warm skin and deliver rich, long-lasting moisture.

Use them anywhere your skin whispers for help — hands, heels, elbows, legs, even very dry facial skin.

They’re wonderfully flexible, head-to-toe moisturizers that bring comfort to dry, dull, or ashy areas.

The difference between them comes down to texture and personal preference, and the experience you prefer.

Whipped Shea Butter

Our Whipped Shea Butter is a silky, velvety cream with an airy, cloud‑soft texture that melts the moment it touches warm skin.

It’s deeply moisturizing yet surprisingly lightweight in feel, making it a wonderful everyday choice for anyone who wants rich hydration without heaviness.

Texture & Skin Feel

• Fluffy, whipped texture that feels soft and airy
• Melts quickly and absorbs beautifully
• Very concentrated — a little goes a long way
• Leaves skin feeling smooth, cushioned, and comfortably moisturized
• Many customers love it as a facial moisturizer for very dry skin
• A lighter consistency and texture than body balms
• Texture resembles buttercream frosting
• Available in five varieties: three scented with essential oil blends, one with vanilla, and one with no added scent

Best For
Dry, tight, itchy, or ashy skin that needs soothing moisture and a silky, fast‑absorbing finish.

Whipped Cocoa Butter

Our Whipped Cocoa Butter is a decadent, fluffy cream centered around unrefined, organic cocoa butter. It has a richer, more cushiony feel than the shea version and melts slowly into warm skin, delivering deep, lasting nourishment to even the driest areas.

Texture & Skin Feel

• Light and whipped, yet slightly denser than Whipped Shea
• Melts gradually into the skin for a rich, comforting feel
• Very concentrated — a little goes a long way
• Leaves skin feeling deeply nourished and velvety
• Customers with very dry, ashy skin often use it as a facial moisturizer
• Excellent for rough, parched patches that need extra attention
• Texture resembles stiff cake icing

Best For
Very dry, rough, or ashy skin that craves a richer, more indulgent texture and long‑lasting moisture.

 

 

Body Butter Balms

Our Body Butter Balms are rich, concentrated creams packed with loads of skin-loving plant oils and butters to provide intensive nourishment for even the driest patches.

They melt gradually into warm skin, forming a buttery, protective layer that brings long-lasting comfort to areas that crave extra attention.

Where whipped butters feel soft and airy, body balms offer a richer, more lingering finish that stays with your skin longer — perfect for skin that needs deeper, more concentrated care.

Texture & Skin Feel

• Heavier than whipped butters for more intense moisturizing
• Melts gradually into warm skin for deep, lasting nourishment
• Incredibly concentrated — designed for targeted care
• Leaves a protective, buttery layer that softens rough patches
• Texture resembles room‑temperature butter (the kind you spread on bread)

Best For
Elbows, knees, heels, hands, and any area that needs intensive moisture and a long‑lasting protective barrier.

A Note on Helping Hands Balm: Helping Hands Balm is crafted with virgin coconut oil, cocoa butter, and soothing botanicals to comfort hardworking hands (or feet) or any patch of dry, irritated skin.

 

 

Bath & Shower Lotion Bars

Experience the ultimate in moisturizing convenience with our unique Bath & Shower Lotion Bars. Made with nourishing ingredients, these innovative bars are solid moisturizers designed to melt on contact with warm, wet skin.

Warm Body Candles

Our natural Warm Body Lotion Candles offer a unique way to enjoy a warm moisturizing body balm, a soothing massage oil, and enchanting aromatherapy all in one.

Though they look like traditional candles, they’re actually solid blends of nourishing plant oils and butters that melt at a low, skin‑safe temperature.

Once warmed, the silky oil can be poured into your hands or directly onto the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and deeply moisturized.

Perfect for massage, relaxing evening rituals, or treating especially dry areas, these candles bring warmth, moisture, and aromatherapy together in one soothing experience.

A Note on Use
Light the candle and allow a small pool of warm oil to form. Extinguish the flame, test the temperature, and pour or scoop a small amount onto the skin. Massage in as desired — the warmth helps the oils melt in beautifully.

 

 

Bath, Body & Massage Oils

Our Body Oils are lightweight, plant‑rich moisturizers infused with herbs and botanicals.

Each blend begins with organic oils that are slow‑infused for weeks, allowing the botanicals to gently release their skin‑loving constituents. 

The result is a silky, nourishing oil that glides effortlessly over the skin, absorbs beautifully, and leaves a soft, natural glow.

They can be used in several ways — as a bath oil for a relaxing soak, a massage oil, or smoothed onto warm, damp skin after bathing to help seal in moisture and keep skin feeling supple throughout the day.

Offered in five essential oil varieties, a vanilla‑bean infusion with no added scent, as well as our unscented Baby Me! Bath & Body Oil
