Natural Body Butter vs. Lotion: What’s Better for Your Skin?
If you’ve ever stood in the skincare aisle wondering whether to grab a lotion or a body butter, you’re not alone. Both hydrate the skin—but they’re not the same, and understanding the difference can help you make smarter choices for your body’s needs.
So, what’s really better for your skin: natural body butter or conventional lotion? Let’s break it down.
🧴 Body Butter vs. Lotion: What’s the Difference?
Lotion is a blend of water and lightweight oils or emulsifiers. It’s thinner, absorbs quickly, and is ideal for light hydration or warm weather.
Body Butter, on the other hand, is rich, thick, and packed with emollient ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and plant oils. It’s designed to deeply moisturize, nourish, and protect.
