Do you have dry skin on your body? Is it extremely dry and you don’t find anything that works for you? Do you scratch your legs when you sleep, just because it is so dry and itchy? Then you most certainly need to try one of my favourite body butters, the Mettā Skincare Body Butter*. This butter is like a dream! It’s Ah-mazing and you so need it in your life, trust me.
First of all, Mettā Skincare products are hand-made in Australia by the lovely Anca, who is such a sweetheart. Mettā is a range of natural skincare products created for you and your skin with an environmental and social consciousness. Using 100% natural ingredients and established relationships with local and international artisan producers, Mettā Skincare is more than just a product range. It is a conscious lifestyle choice that will leave you feeling good about your skin and the earth. And it truly does make me feel good.
The body butter comes in a huge black glass jar (135g). I love their design, it is cute yet chic and minimalistic at the same time. Body Butter is created with only six ingredients – Organic Shea Butter, my favourite ingredient for dry skin, Organic Grapeseed Oil, Organic Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Organic Coconut Oil and Organic Lavender Essential Oils. Oh.<3 The gorgeous shea butter or I should rather say shea nuts, are bought in Northern Uganda by organization called Bead For Life, which is one of Mettā’s partners or artisan producers. Shea nuts are known in the region as “Women’s Gold” because they are a resource traditionally gathered and sold by women. Other ingredients are sourced from Tasmanian mountains (Calendula Oil), Southern Queensland (Jojoba) and I could go on. Read more about it here.
Body butter has a super rich and luscious texture. It’s special because it’s not as soft and creamy like other butters, but more dry and crumbly to the touch. When it comes in contact with skin, it just melts into it and turns into a beautiful oil. It does need a little bit more time to warm up and it’s not really quickly absorbed into the skin, but other than that it’s wonderful! Also, keep in my mind that my skin is quite normal and not as dry as it was a few years ago. Sometimes I use it in the morning but I’m especially fond of it after evening showers and baths. This body butter makes my skin amazingly soft and nourished. Yas!
Another big plus is the scent. I like Lavender, it is not my favourite, but I like it. Well, this body butter has the nicest lavender scent ever! I will lie if I say that I also smell Cocoa and Shea Butter, but I probably do, because it smells like lavender but with a touch of something else as well. Or they use a special kind of lavender, because the scent it really beautiful. If I can’t get enough of it even after sniffing it for the whole time of writing this, then you know it’s good.
Yes, I’m obsessed with Mettā Body Butter and I highly recommend it! It’s rich, luxurious, extra nourishing and just gorgeous! I’m super impressed and I think you would be to. 🙂
Much love,
