What makes Northern Velvet Body Butter special? This small-batch gem is hand-whipped with wild Alaskan botanicals like spruce and mint, plus glacier water and creamy shea and mango butters for that deep, velvety hydration without greasiness. It's all about clean, potent ingredients sourced right from Alaska's wilds, giving your skin a fresh, northern glow in limited runs so every jar feels exclusive.
Is it suitable for sensitive or dry skin? Absolutely—it's gentle on sensitive skin thanks to the natural, non-irritating formula packed with soothing vitamins and no harsh synthetics. Folks with dry or winter-weathered skin love how it locks in moisture all day, but always patch test first to be safe.
How do I apply it best? Just scoop a small amount, warm it between your palms, and massage into clean skin using gentle circles—anytime, anywhere for quick relief on elbows, knees, or heels. A pea-sized dollop covers a lot since it's so rich; let it sink in for a minute before dressing. What's the shelf life, and how should I store it? Our emulsified formula stays stable without melting or separating, giving you 12-18 months of freshness when kept in a cool, dry spot away from direct sun. We make small batches to ensure peak potency, so no worries about texture changes from temperature.
Is it cruelty-free and clean? Yes, 100% cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and made with ethically sourced, clean ingredients—no parabens, sulfates, or fillers. Proudly crafted in the USA with wild-harvested Alaskan goodies for that transparent, feel-good skincare you crave.
Can I use it on my face or all over? It's great all over the body, but for face use, start with a tiny bit if your skin's not super oily— the richness works wonders on dry cheeks but might feel heavy elsewhere. Perfect for hands, feet, or as a quick anytime boost.
What if I have allergies or am pregnant? Always check a products ingredients to see if there is one listed you're allergic to, like essential oils, shea, or mango. Consult your doc if pregnant or nursing for personalized advice, and patch test new products on your inner arm.
How does it compare to lotion? Unlike watery lotions that evaporate fast, this butter creates a lasting barrier with pure butters and oils for intense, all-day nourishment—ideal for dry climates or sensitive types. It's thicker but absorbs clean, leaving no sticky mess.
