BODY LOTIONS
What's the difference between your moisturizers?
I have 3 medium lotions (whipped body souffle, shea butter cream, tropical butter cream), a heavy-duty body butter (98% natural). All are for everyday use and can be used all over the body, but, if you use it on your face, please choose "unscented" for your fragrance choice.
What is the difference between the 3 medium lotions?
All 3 are thick creams, with a whipped vanilla frosting consistency and appearance. So thick that when held upside down, they will not fall out of the container. Other than the moisturizing ingredients, they are the same as far as texture, moisturizing power and shelf life. Whichever one you choose should be based on your own personal moisturizing preference. Detailed ingredients are listed below.
What is the body butter?
A rich butter that is as natural as you can get. Capable of moisturizing the driest of skin, will feel greasy at first, but give a minute to sink in and moisturize.
So, which lotion should I get?
For all over, everyday moisturizing and the parts of your body that take a real, daily beating (hands, feet, elbows), get any of the medium lotions. For your dry, problem areas (cracked and dry feet, hands, cuticles and elbows), I highly recommend the heavy-duty body butter.

Massage, Body & Bath Oil |
|

It can't be classified as a lotion, but it's definitely a moisturizer. These massage, body & bath oils are a moisturizing blend of shea butter oil, sweet almond oil and soybean oil. You can add a teaspoon to a warm, full bath, but the oils may make the tub slippery, so be careful. Of course, makes a great massage oil, cuticle oil and foot rub.
Ingredients: Shea Butter Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Soybean Oil and Fragrance Oil. When unscented or scented with pure essential oils, this is a 100% all natural product. | | • Lotions, Creams & Butters 101 •
How many different lotions are there in the world and what's the difference?
After much research, I've concluded that there are basically 3 types of skin moisturizing products: Lotion, Cream/Souffle and Butter. The difference is the oil to water ratio.
Lotion: This product typically has the most water and is thinner, it can be easily poured onto the skin. It is great for daily, all-over use and since it has the most amount of water, will be quickly absorbed by the skin. The downside is, since it has the most amount of water, it will sink in and dissipate faster, which means you have to apply it more often.
Cream/Souffle: Creams (in the lotion world, souffle is just a fancy name for a whipped cream) normally have a lower water to oil ratio, so they are thicker, with a vanilla frosting or whipped cream consistency and appearance. Because there is less water, it takes a bit longer for a cream to sink into your skin. Creams are great for really dry areas, hands, elbows, heels, knees, etc. A must for nurses, doctors, hair stylists, manicurists, anyone who washes their hands numerous times a day.
Butter: Butters are solid oils with no water or a very small percentage of water and have a solid, stick of butter-like appearance, hence the name. Body butter will melt on contact with skin, may seem a bit heavy at first, almost a greasy feeling (because it contains hardly any water), but give it time to sink in. After it does, your skin will thank you. Butters are also good for night treatments, such as applying liberally on your feet at bedtime and covering with socks while you sleep for soft, smooth heels. |
