body butter

A woman with smooth skin gently places her hands on her shoulders. Well-manicured fingers touch the bare skin, conveying softness. The product image shows her upper body, chin and mouth with rosy, slightly parted lips against a white background.

These high-quality balms can be used for body care and pressure massage. The main difference compared to massage oils is their nourishing properties and the many skin-soothing ingredients they contain.

The main difference lies in the consistency, the fat content and how it feels on the skin.

Body Balm

  • Solid, often waxy consistency that melts with body heat
  • Higher proportion of waxes (e.g. beeswax, candelilla wax) and solid vegetable oils
  • Water content usually very low to zero – pure lipid care
  • Absorbs more slowly and forms a protective film on the skin
  • Ideal for very dry, rough areas: elbows, heels, chapped skin, for atopic dermatitis or in winter

Body Butter

  • Creamy, foamy, spreadable texture, often whipped like cream
  • The main ingredients are shea butter, cocoa butter or mango butter, combined with oils and usually a small amount of water/aqua
  • Oily, yet lighter than a balm; absorbs well and provides intensive care
  • All-round care for dry to very dry skin all over the body, including after showering

In a nutshell

  • Body Butter = a rich yet spreadable cream texture containing water, for daily full-body care
  • Body Balm = a compact, wax-rich, almost water-free ointment for specific and extremely dry areas of skin
