Lavender Honey Body Butter: Golden Warmth for Cold-Weather Skin Save

Our Lavender Honey Body Butter smells like a drizzle of honey on warm toast, with soft lavender floating over the top. It is a rich, creamy butter in a 7.5 oz size, and it earns its keep once the Michigan cold settles in and hands, elbows and heels start feeling the furnace air.

The scent: golden and gentle

The honey note is warm and round, the lavender is soft and floral, and together they land somewhere between a cozy kitchen and a quilt fresh off the line. It is sweet without being sugary, which is why it works any time of year, not just in the depths of January.

How to use a rich body butter

  • Start small. A fingertip scoop covers more skin than you might expect.
  • Warm it first. Rub it between your palms for a few seconds so it spreads easily.
  • Focus on the dry spots. Hands, elbows, knees and heels get the most out of a thick butter.
  • Time it well. Right after a shower, or as the last step before bed, gives it time to sink in.

For winter heels, smooth a little on at bedtime and pull on a pair of cotton socks. It is not glamorous, but neither is February.

Storing your jar

Keep the lid on tight and store the jar somewhere cool and out of direct sun. Body butters naturally soften in a warm room and firm up in a cold one, so a change in texture with the seasons is normal. Use clean, dry fingers to keep water out of the jar.

Pairing and gifting

Honey is a scent that likes company. Pair the body butter with our Lavender Honey Lip Balm for a matched set, or add a candle and a cozy pair of socks for a spa-night basket. It is an easy self-care gift for birthdays, a new mom or anyone who deserves a quiet evening. The Gift Box Builder helps you put a set together.

Frequently asked questions

Does it smell like food?

It smells sweet and warm, but the lavender keeps it from reading as dessert. Most people describe it as cozy rather than edible.

Will it feel greasy?

Rich butters can feel heavy if you use too much. Start with a small amount, massage it in and give it a few minutes before getting dressed.

What other body butter scents are there?

Several, from fruity to woodsy. The all-scents listing below shows the full lineup.
