What Is The Difference Between Lotion & Body Butter?

Great Question!

Simply Put. Lotions Are Formulated With Mostly Water Or Hydrosols (aromatic waters) To Create A Lighter Feel & Super Quick Absorption & Light Moisturization Of The Skin. They Are Created With A Higher Water Content & Little Amounts Of Oils Or Rich Moisturizing Ingredients.

Lotion Needs To Be Re-Applied Multiple Times Throughout The Day To Maintain The High Moisture Levels, & If You Are Anything Like Me, You Would Have To BATHE In Lotion To Feel The Moisture My Skin Desperately Seeks!!

Lotions Are Great HYDRATORS, But Not The Best MOISTURIZERS In My Opinion. They Do Serve Their Purpose Though & It’s Nice To Have This Option.

Body Butters On The Other Hand, Are Formulated & Blended With A Combination Of Vegetable Butters, Plant/Carrier Oils & Special Ingredients. Body Butters Do NOT Contain ANY Water OR Hydrosols. These Butters & Plant/Carrier Oils Contain Rich Essential Fats, Anti-Oxidants & Minerals That Tend To Feed, Nourish, Hydrate, Protect, Moisturize & Repair Your Skin At The Cellular Level. Allowing Your Skin To Truly Glow From The Inside Out Revealing Healthy & Flawless Skin Over Time With Continual Use.

Body Butters Do Not Need To Be Re-Applied As Often As A Lotion & Also Reduce Trans Epidermal Water Loss Because Body Butters Are Created With A High Concentration Of Pure Essential Fats & Oils. Providing A Coating Of Protection & Really Anchoring & Maintaining The Hydration & Moisture Levels Within The Skin.

Body Butters Come In So Many Different Formulations & Blends. They Can Feel Really Heavy Or Greasy, Or The Can Feel Super Light, But Yet Deeply Penetrating & Moisturizing With Little To No Greasy/Oily After Feel.

I Personally Do Not Use Lotion & If I EVER HAVE To Use One, My Skin Feels Disrespected & They Really Do Not Do Much For My Skin. I Need My Butters All Year Round, My Skin Cannot Be Any Happier!

What About You?  What Do You Prefer Lotions Which Are Lighter, Quick Absorbing & Light Moisture?  Or Do You Enjoy The Rich & Decadent Hydration & Moisturization A Body Butter Can Offer? Or Do You Love Both For Their Individual Characteristics? What Do You Tend To Reach For More Often Than Not?
