Body Butter vs. Body Cream: Your Guide to Soft, Supple Skin

The Basics of Body Butter and Body Cream

If you’re looking to elevate your skin care routine, understanding the differences between body butter and body cream is essential. Body butter and body cream serve the same fundamental purpose — they hydrate and nourish your skin. However, they differ in texture, ingredients, and the way they deliver moisture.

Difference Between Body Butter and Body Cream

1. Body Butter: Body butter, like the Body Soufflé collection, are rich, thick, and creamy. They are made from a combination of shea butter and other natural oils. These products are best for very dry or cracked skin, as they provide a heavy layer of moisture that is great for locking in hydration.

2. Body Cream: Alternatively, body creams like the Hydra Creams are lighter and contain water or aloe vera. This composition allows them to absorb quickly into the skin. They are the perfect solution for those looking to moisturize their skin without the heavy and greasyness that comes along with many other products.

Benefits and Usage of Body Butter vs. Body Cream

Body Butter: Best applied to damp skin right after a shower, body butter helps to seal in moisture, making it a superb option for winter months or for those with exceptionally dry skin.

Body Cream: More versatile in its use, body cream can be applied at any time and is ideal for daily hydration. Its absorbs quickly, making it suitable for when you need to moisturize on the go.
