Vanilla Extract (vanilla extract hydro-glycolic)
The smell of vanilla is a distinctive and sweet fragrance. Its powerful effect on the mind can help to overcome feelings of anxiety and stress. It stimulates the happy hormones and brings about feelings of relaxation and an invisible hug.
Vanilla isn’t just a delicious flavour or smell. In addition to a range of other mental and physical health benefits, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory and relaxant. Its antioxidant properties can also protect the skin from damage caused by environmental pollutants and toxins. It is also a natural source of B-Vitamins such as thiamin, niacin, Vitamin B6 and panthothenic acid. These all play an important role in the maintenance of healthy skin.
Sweet Orange Essential Oil (citrus sinensis)
The health benefits of sweet orange essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, carminative, diuretic, tonic and sedative substance. The very uplifting smell of orange essential oil reminds you of happy moments and brings pleasant thoughts to mind. That is why sweet orange oil is frequently used. It creates a happy, relaxed feeling and works as a mood lifter. As well as creating a warm happy feeling, it can stimulate the strength and resilience of the immune system and eliminate airborne bacteria.
Often applied to massage oils, this oil is beneficial in maintaining the health, texture, and appearance of skin. It can reduce the signs of acne and some dry skin conditions, and promote clarity, radiance, and smoothness.
Blended together, when Vanilla & Orange are added to this organic body butter, they are like a power couple…the Beyoncé and Jay Z of essential oils.

It is also known for its soothing and anti-irritant properties
Organic Olive Oil, non-GMO, cold-pressed, unrefined, extra virgin olive oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil)
With its skin nourishing, softening & protective qualities our edible cold-pressed organic olive oil is absorbed quickly and therefore beneficial for dry skin, or chapped skin on elbows, knees, hands & feet. As an anti-inflammatory it works well in oil blends that treat skin irritations, damaged skin, and itchiness.

How and when to use
With no added water, a little bit goes a long way. Simply warm a little bit in your hand and spread it all over your body, from your top to your toes. Use it sparingly twice a day to keep your skin glowing for hours, and then indulge again for soft silky skin before bedtime.
At bedtime I pay close attention to my elbows, knees, feet and hands…I‘ve also indulged in bamboo gloves and socks to stop any moisture being lost by cotton bedsheets.
Hint: For those with dry skin or dry skin conditions, bamboo bedding and clothing can also make a massive difference…take a look at our blog for more information.
I also pay close attention to moisturising the stretch marks and scars on my thighs, bum and tum.
As with all natural butters, you may need to pop your body butter into the fridge in warmer weather/environments.
Due to the natural origins of all the ingredients, the colour, consistency and scent of the body butter may vary from batch to batch.
