Body butter is a thicker, more luxurious moisturizer that is typically enriched with rich butters, such as shea butter or cocoa butter, and oils that provide deep nourishment to the skin. It has a creamy, dense texture that is perfect for dry or rough areas of the body, like elbows, knees, and heels. Body butter offers intense hydration and is often used in colder months when skin can become drier.
