About this product
Winter wind on your hands, a long afternoon in the sun, the tight feeling after a shave: this is the jar you reach for afterwards. Aloe Vera Butter pairs the cool comfort of aloe with the richness of coconut, a soft, silky butter that melts on contact and absorbs without a heavy, greasy feel.
The gel fillets from the center of organically grown aloe leaves are slowly infused into organic coconut oil. The result is odorless and white and melts instantly, even below body temperature. Smooth it on as a body butter after sun or shaving, over chapped hands and faces, or wherever skin feels dry, tight or stressed. It is also a generous base for your own balms, creams and blends.
Because it melts so readily, warm climates call for care: if you live somewhere hot, choose the 16 oz bail jar, since smaller jars may melt in transit.
