Lake Erie Body Butter: Cool Spearmint and Lavender for Dry Skin Save

Our Lavender Lake Erie Body Butter is cool, bright and breezy, like a summer day on the Erie shore. It pairs soft lavender with fresh spearmint in a rich, creamy butter for dry hands, elbows and heels, and it is the liveliest scent in our Great Lakes collection.

Why spearmint works with lavender

Spearmint is the gentler, sweeter side of the mint family. Where peppermint can feel sharp, spearmint smells fresh and green, almost like a garden path after you brush past the mint patch. Paired with lavender, it lifts the floral note and keeps the whole blend feeling clean and awake. It is a good pick for people who like fresh scents more than sweet ones.

The Great Lakes body butter collection

Each lake in the collection gets its own partner for lavender. Here is how Erie fits in:

Lake Paired with lavender Mood
Erie Spearmint Cool, bright and breezy
Huron Cedarwood Woodsy and warm
Michigan Eucalyptus Fresh and windy
Ontario Frankincense Calm and resinous
Superior Pine Crisp and wild

Collect all five, or pick the lake that means the most to you. Everyone in Michigan seems to have one.

How to apply it

  • Step out of a warm shower and pat dry, leaving skin slightly damp.
  • Scoop a small amount with clean, dry fingers.
  • Warm it between your palms, then massage into hands, elbows, knees and heels.
  • Give it a few minutes to sink in before dressing.

Keep the lid tight and the jar out of direct sun. Body butter softens in warm rooms and firms up in cool ones, which is perfectly normal.

Gifting a little shoreline

Lake Erie makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the beach, grew up near the lake or simply prefers fresh scents. Pair it with the Lake Erie lip balm for a matching set, or build a full Great Lakes box in the Gift Box Builder.

Frequently asked questions

Does the spearmint feel cold on skin?

Spearmint gives the scent a cool, fresh edge. It smells crisp rather than icy, and the butter itself feels rich and creamy.

Is it too minty for bedtime?

The lavender keeps it soft. Many people like it after a morning shower, but it works any time of day.
