Solid body butter with saffron and sandalwood - a fragrant gift made from four natural ingredients

Solid body butters are therefore completely plant-based and also suitable for vegans. You will have great fun with playful production, and the finished products can be wrapped and used as a unique fragrant gift not only under the tree.

Making body butter is really easy and definitely don't be afraid of it. With a few ingredients, a little time and a pinch of patience, you can create beautiful pieces that smell wonderful, look very nice and at the same time intensively care for the skin. Although we recommend using a water bath during production, you can also handle the whole process using a microwave oven. In five minutes and with a minimum of dirty dishes.

What are solid body butters?

Solid body butter is such a big little miracle. Especially for our skin, but also for our mind and soul. Unlike classic creams or body lotions, these are solid pieces of various shapes and sizes. The solid body butter only dissolves when it comes into contact with the skin. Just apply the butter to the skin or gently rub it between the palms, and it will immediately begin to release moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that will soften the skin and make it smell beautiful. Thanks to this method of application, you can treat yourself to a gentle massage when using it, and the whole process is very meditative.

Solid body butters are also a great companion that will never let you down on the go! Thanks to its rigid form, it won't spill in your suitcase, takes up almost no space, and you can even carry it in your hand luggage without any worries. And we all know that when traveling by plane, every drop of liquid counts.

In addition to practical advantages, solid body butter can also be proud of the fact that it is gentle not only on the skin, but also on nature. It usually requires no packaging materials, making it an ideal choice for those who love a zero-waste lifestyle.

The icing on the cake is the minimal amount of ingredients needed for their production and the excellent shelf life even without the use of preservatives.

How to use solid body butter?

Solid body butters are used in the same way as body creams or lotions. But for us, it is definitely the most pleasant to rub them into the skin immediately after a shower or bath, before going to bed, so that the skin has time to absorb the oils. As they are generally greasier than regular creams, we recommend letting them soak in for a while before putting on your clothes to avoid any greasy stains.

What do we put in it?

Natural ingredients in our recipe:

Coconut-soy wax

We create the pleasant structure of the body butter and its easy spreadability with the help of coconut-soy wax. The soft and smooth coconut-soy wax is 100% plant-based and contains no genetically modified organisms (GMO free), making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for natural and gentle alternatives. It has unique moisturizing properties and helps lock moisture into the skin. It is also suitable for sensitive skin and creates a protective barrier that protects the skin from external influences without burdening it or clogging pores.

Avocado oil

Avocado oil is one of the most luxurious natural oils that your skin will love! This nourishing oil is rich in vitamins (A, D, E) and essential fatty acids, which provide intensive hydration and care to the skin.

Thanks to its composition, it easily penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, where it intensively hydrates, leaving it supple and soft. It promotes the renewal of skin cells, which helps to reduce fine lines, scars or dry scales. It is ideal for dry and sensitive skin, as it helps to soothe irritation, and is especially suitable during the cold months or for the care of dry and mature skin.

Cocoa butter

Rich in antioxidants, it protects the skin from drying out and gives it a pleasant chocolate scent. At the same time, it helps maintain the consistency of the body butter and is therefore essential in its production. Be sure not to miss it!

Coconut oil

A popular natural moisturizer that gives skin suppleness, natural shine and a subtle coconut scent. Thanks to its light texture, it is quickly absorbed.

If you want to spice up the already great solid body butters a little more, try adding fragrance, or even a little sandalwood powder.

Fragrance Saffron & Sandalwood

A sensual and warm combination that charms with its elegance. Saffron gives the fragrance a slightly floral, sweet and slightly spicy note that evokes a feeling of luxury and calm. Sandalwood brings a woody, creamy and balsamic base with relaxing effects that adds depth and harmony to the fragrance. Together, they create a balanced, soothing scent that warms you in the cold season and evokes a feeling of luxury.

Sandalwood powder (optional)

Finely ground sandalwood powder gives the product an exotic scent and soothing properties. This natural treasure is valued in aromatherapy for its relaxing effects, and in skin care for its softening and brightening.
Our solid body butters are shaped like minimalistic "eggs", but yours can be any shape you like.

Choose yourself.
