All-Natural Body Butter Recipe Easy Enough To Make At Home

Nov 13, 2018 by apost team

Body butter has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. Many people have seen this product filling the shelves in stores across the country without understanding what is inside. Body butter is designed to help repair dry skin by offering a healing and moisturizing solution.

These products are similar to lotion, but they are significantly thicker and heavier in consistency. While ingredients may differ between recipes, Body butter typically contains Shea butter, cocoa butter and some sort of vegetable-based oils such as coconut oil. As the name suggests,

Body butter can be used over the entire body or specifically on problematic areas. These solutions have healing and rejuvenating effects on skin.

Despite their widespread popularity, many people are still hesitant to purchase any form of body butter. Not only are people unaware of how this product differs from normal lotion, but many companies also sell body butter for a high price.

The unique ingredients and consistency of this product make it slightly more valuable than average lotions. Companies capitalize on the difference and popularity of this product by marking up the prices.

This is a shame for people with skin issues who could really use the healing properties of a body butter solution. Fortunately, there is an alternative option for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on body butter.
