Deeper benefits: skin and sensory
Bright Botanical Butter was created as a soothing daily all-over moisturizer to bring lasting comfort to dry or weather-worn skin. The texture is rich but never heavy, melting instantly to deliver deep hydration and a soft, healthy glow.
Made with farm-grown and thoughtfully chosen botanicals, it smooths roughness, relieves dryness, and helps skin feel calm, nourished, and balanced. Antioxidant-rich oils protect against everyday stressors while restoring a soft, even texture.
The gentle citrus-floral aroma adds a touch of daily luxury, turning a simple step into a small act of care.
What you’ll notice:
- Skin feels hydrated, soothed, and comfortable after the first use
- Over time, skin looks smoother, more even, and radiant
- Absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, luminous finish without any greasiness
Simple, botanical, and made to help your skin feel cared for in every season.
