Why our body butter is perfect for dry skin

If you’re suffering from dry skin, you need body butter that’s ultra-rich and sumptuous. Our Butter Me Up Buttercup body butter is perfect for dry skin thanks to its skin-loving botanicals like beautiful shea and sophisticated ylang-ylang.

What is body butter?

Body butter is a body moisturiser used to hydrate and soften the skin and minimise dryness. Unlike body lotion, body butter is thicker and creamier than body lotion and tends to have a more… buttery… texture. To find the best body moisturisers, look for ones that are deeply nourishing with organic, natural ingredients. At Tiger Lillies, we say “No thank you!” to harmful or questionable ingredients that can be considered carcinogens, hormone disruptors, synthetic fragrances, lab-derived or bio-identical, GMOs, parabens, or artificial colourants. Instead, we prefer to trust in Mother Nature. For our Butter Me Up Buttercup body butter, we harness the natural powers of shea butter and ylang-ylang for soft, nourished skin.

Why are ingredients important in a body butter for dry skin?

Dry skin is a common issue but some people may not realise that the products they’re using on their skin are actually exacerbating the problem. Many artificial ingredients can have a drying effect on the skin, so check the ingredients list before you buy and seek out body butter with natural ingredients. 

We’ve crammed wild-harvested ingredients and 99% of organic certified ingredients into Butter Me Up Buttercup body butter so you can be sure you’re hydrating your skin with the ultimate in luxuriously hydrating ingredients.

How can shea butter help dry skin?

Organic raw shea butter contains high concentrations of fatty acids and vitamins which help to soften the skin - the ideal ingredient for a body butter! Shea butter also has anti-inflammatory and healing properties, to help manage skin conditions including dry skin, as well as anti-ageing antioxidants so you can feel naturally gorgeous from head to toe, at any age.

How can ylang-ylang help dry skin?

When blended in body butter, organic ylang-ylang oil balances and regulates the skin’s oil production to prevent excessive dryness and oiliness. It also soothes any skin inflammation or irritation, while strengthening the skin’s defensive barrier.
