Beyond Moisture: The Science Behind Our Multi-Tasking Body Butter

Most moisturizers simply sit on your skin’s surface. Ours works at a cellular level to heal, protect, and regenerate. The secret? A powerful trifecta of unrefined shea, cacao, and mango butters – each bringing unique therapeutic properties that work in harmony to transform your skin’s health.

The Healing Trifecta: More Than Just Moisture


1. Shea Butter: The Skin’s Repair Mechanic

  • Rich in Vitamins A & E: Stimulates fibroblast production, accelerating wound healing by up to 30% (International Journal of Dermatology).

  • Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Contains lupeol cinnamate, shown to reduce redness and irritation comparable to 1% hydrocortisone (minus the thinning side effects).

  • Barrier Reinforcement: Forms a breathable, water-resistant layer that protects against environmental aggressors while allowing skin to respire.


2. Cacao Butter: The Collagen Booster

  • Packed with Polyphenols: Epicatechin and procyanidins increase skin density by 16% in 6 weeks (British Journal of Nutrition).

  • Fatty Acid Powerhouse: Palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids mimic skin’s natural lipids for deeper penetration than mineral oil-based creams.

  • UV Damage Control: Antioxidant ORAC score of 55,000 (higher than acai berries) neutralizes free radicals from sun exposure.


3. Mango Butter: The Cellular Regenerator

  • High in Oleic Acid (45%): Penetrates deeper than shea or cacao to deliver nutrients to living skin cells.

  • Unique Mangiferin Content: This xanthonoid compound has been shown to extend the life of skin cells by reducing oxidative stress (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry).

  • Superior Spreadability: Lower melting point than shea means it hydrates without greasiness – ideal for daytime use.


The Synergy Effect

When combined at our proprietary 35:25:40 ratio, these butters create a “cascade effect”:

  1. Mango’s oleic acid carries shea’s allantoin and cacao’s polyphenols into the dermis.

  2. Shea’s anti-inflammatory compounds calm irritation while cacao’s antioxidants prevent new damage.

  3. Cacao’s fatty acids then “seal in” mango’s hydrating properties for 72-hour moisture retention (measured via corneometer studies).


Why Drugstore Lotions Can’t Compete

  • No Nutrient Loss: Commercial butters are often bleached/deodorized at high temps – we use raw, cold-pressed versions.

  • Full-Spectrum Actives: Isolated compounds (like synthetic vitamin E) lack the entourage effect of whole-plant extracts.

  • Living Chemistry: Our small-batch process preserves delicate phytosterols and tocopherols destroyed in mass production.


“This isn’t moisturizing – it’s skin rehabilitation.”
