Body Butters Are So Good!

"Do you wear it?"
        "Do you eat it?"
                "Do you cook with it?"

Have you ever tried body butter?  If you haven't then the name might sound strange to you. “Do you wear it or eat it or cook with it?” Sometimes my market customers will ask me that very question.  And a few have even dared to timidly lick a dab from their hand because it smells so good. While there is no harm in doing so since I use only quality organic real ingredients; the purpose of body butter is more for the skin that the gut.​
I personally am a fair skinned red head. As a teen and budding young adult I enjoyed all the fun fruity and floral scents of conventional store bought lotions. My skin would love the moisture at first but then look dry again before much time had passed.  It reminded me of a combination of looking at lizard like skin with big flakes and the dry deep fissures of the desert ground.  I didn't think much about it and just put more on. Later when my babies were born, I found great frustration and worry for them as they would get deep patchy dry areas and red bump rashes on a pretty regular basis.

The doctor’s solution was steroid creams, oatmeal baths and expensive lotion bottles that had a long list of non-pronounceable ingredients. They brought relief, for which I was grateful, but I wondered if there was more I could do.
 
Research and time led me to realize that conventional lotions have really very little to do in partnering with the body in deep natural moisturizing and more to do with masking the skin and delighting the nose with scents.  I started seeking out the idea of natural, knowing that the more basic and clean the ingredients are then the easier it is for the body to be happy instead of working hard to rid the extra unneeded chemicals. I felt it was important to put something on my babes that did not have petroleum, parabens, oxybenzone or colors and chemicals that synthetically mimicked nature.

Body butter is a fun process that does take a little bit of time, but is so worth it when you get to experience the creamy finished product.   It is much thicker than a lotion and is stored in a jar instead of a pump bottle. Its rich thickness and nourishing ingredients make it perfect to deeply hydrate and moisturize the skin beyond the normal every day softening routine.

Here at Healing Treasures, we have played around with different recipe formulas over the years for our own skin sensitivity needs and now offer 3 different types of butter. Why 3 body butters instead of just 1 type for all your needs? That is a good question. The answer to that is because we are all original treasures. Our bodies are unique and respond differently to moisturizing helps.    
Our Original Body Butter is a blend of coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, vitamin e and essential oils of frankincense and lavender that are known to promote cellular healing.
I have one daughter with psoriasis on her hands. Her knuckles flare and break open easily from the constant hand washing of working in both preschool and food service industries.  Sun and sweat also irritate her skin with angry episodes. But once she started using our Original Body Butter things calmed right down.

Our Advanced Body Butter is blended in a different ratio of coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea, vitamin e and lavender essential oils and has the extra benefit of beeswax to protect the skin naturally.
Another of my daughters is quick to flare up with eczema.  She became frustrated with conventional products that did nothing but sit on top of her skin. She has found great results in using our Advanced Body Butter and makes sure her supply never runs too low.

Our Love Your Feet (And Body Too) formula is blended more heavily on the shea side along with cocoa butter, coconut oil, vitamin e and soothing essential oils of lavender and melaleuca. 
I personally have general sensitivities and find that I itch easily. I like to use a combination of Original Body Butter on my legs and super nourishing qualities of Love Your Feet on my arms and hands. ​

We are so excited to announce the debut of our new anti-aging serum Awaken.  Seriously, you should see the flips we are doing (for me it is a mental flip or I would hurt myself haa haa).

I have been working long and hard to perfect this formula. It contains a blend of essentials that are known for smoothing fine lines and encouraging a healthy skin glow. Along with that is the partnership of jojoba and hemp oil. These are "dry oils" that absorb quickly into the skin without leaving a residue behind. 

How does the aroma carry?
          It smells soft and unassuming. 
How does it feel?
          It feels like a million dollar silk wrap.
Can guys use this?
          Most definitely. This blend is sure to be a perfect addition to any treasured regiment.

Product Spotlight - Hydration Spray

7/15/2016

Everyone wants to stay looking young. The foods we eat and the water we drink to stay hydrated are all important factors in helping us to feel confident in our skin. In tandem to that is what we use to moisturize from the outside in.

Since we live in the beautiful NW, we tend enjoy doing a lot of outdoor adventures. Hiking, biking, running and kayaking are our mainstays for getting around.  While being in all of that beautiful outdoor glory, we found our skins getting parched and it wasn’t very conducive to carry a jar of body butter that would melt in the heat of the day.  So we created Hydration Spray.

Hydration Spray is a wonderful blend of organics that encourage putting moisture back into our ever faithful skin. Containing aloe, fractionated coconut oil, vitamin e, and pure essential oils of melaleuca, lavender and peppermint; we have personally found this spray bottle to be a great compliment to an on-the-go outdoor lifestyle.  Our experiences have shown it to moisturize, soothe and even take the heat out of too much sun exposure.

​If you would like to give it a try and tell your skin a big thank you, just let us know by clicking here.
