Compare organic body butter and lotion for lasting hydration. Learn which Glimmer Goddess® formula is best for nourished, radiant, silky-smooth skin.
When your skin feels tight, flaky, or in need of extra love, do you reach for a body butter or a lotion? Both are staples in a beauty ritual—but they serve different needs. Here’s how to choose the right formula for glow that lasts.
What Is Organic Body Butter?
Body butter is the epitome of indulgent hydration—thick, rich, and creamy. Our whipped formulas blend shea butter, cocoa butter, almond & coconut oils, and vitamin E to soften, smooth, and seal in moisture.
- Creates a protective barrier to lock in moisture
- Intense, long-lasting hydration (24+ hours)
- Ideal for dry, rough, or mature skin and winter months
- Perfect for luxurious evening/overnight rituals

- Best for normal to slightly dry skin
- Ideal in warm or humid climates
- Great for morning routines and under clothing

FAQ
Is body butter better than lotion for dry skin?
Yes. Body butter is thicker and more emollient, making it ideal for very dry or rough areas.
Can I use lotion and body butter together?
Absolutely—lotion by day, body butter by night is the perfect hydration duo.
Which absorbs faster: lotion or body butter?
Lotion absorbs quickly; body butter melts in more slowly but lasts longer.
Can I use body butter all year?
Yes. Many prefer body butter in cooler months or as an overnight treatment, and lotion for daytime or summer.
