Calm Tranquility: Whipped Shea Body Butter

Raw shea butter, whipped, with Bulgarian lavender folded through it.

Shea is karite - the tree grows in a belt across West Africa from Senegal to Sudan, and the butter has been pressed there by hand for centuries. The lavender is Bulgarian, which is the one people mean when they picture a lavender field.

Five ingredients. No coconut or palm oil, no hardeners, no stabilizers - which is why it may arrive soft in warm weather. It melts on contact rather than sitting on top. Most people keep this one by the bed.

Massage into warm, damp, clean skin. Body, heels, rough patches, hands, face, hair, beard.

Ingredients: Vitellaria Paradoxa (Raw Shea) Butter, Oryza Sativa (Rice Bran) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Hempseed Oil, Organic Lavandula (Lavender) Oil.

Handcrafted in small batches on Long Island, New York, by a Black woman-owned skincare brand, and shipped from the United States. Made fresh - best used within six months. Color and texture vary slightly from batch to batch. External use only.
