Body butters contain a high concentration of butters such as shea and cocoa making them solid at room temperature. They are rich in fatty acids and melt with your body heat just like butter. Body and face oils contain a base of carrier oils making them liquid at room temperature. They are also abundant in fatty acids and antioxidants. We use what are called “dry oils” meaning they moisturize without leaving any greasy residue. Both butters and oils are excellent ways to keep your skin happily hydrated. They are both equally effective—whether you choose to use a butter or an oil is mainly up to your texture preference. Shop our entire selection on myjulyskin.com. Photo by @viewsbyterry
