Let's Talk About Body and Belly Butter

First of all, thank you Suzie, for your great comments on our Body Butter.

A good Body Butter should feel greasy when first applied, as it soaks into the layers of the skin your skin should feel soft and supple. I was confused over this when I first made Body Butter, I thought "Oh My God, this feels like I just bathed in cooking oil", well, I soon realized that I no longer had what I called winter itch, every winter for the prior 20 years I would scratch my legs and belly until they were raw. I know this sounds disgusting, but I know a lot of people with the same issue.

It took awhile but I experimented and came up with the perfect combination of Shea Butter and oils to eliminate the "winter itch". I soon realized that my Body Butter aided in healing rashes, relieved sun burn and was amazingly good for just about any skin issue, my grand daughter has extremely dry skin, it keeps her from scratching.

Have you seen the movie "My Greek Wedding", there is a part in that movie where the Greek father is using Windex for ever ailment one can think of, think of me running around with a jar of Body Butter, hey I've even waxed my wood furniture and counter tops with Body Butter, works great and smells good too, it is my pride and joy.

We add no preservatives or coloring to our Body Butter, we use essential oils unless we have requests for fragrances that can't be achieved with essential oils. Every batch is fresh when it leaves to insure it's quality, I recommend it be refrigerated, but this is not necessary if it is stored below 75 degrees.

Belly Butter is one the most amazing natural products we produce. I have two daughters that have been pregnant, my side of the family's bellies look like a raod map to china after having children. OK, so we dont have that skin that stretches and goes back after we had our children. I didn't come up with this recipe until my girls had their second child, I can tell you that they did not get any extra stretch marks with their second pregnancy. I have handed out Belly Butter to all of their pregnant friends and they too, had few to no stretch marks. I'm so proud that we were able to reduce or prevent the unsightly problem of stretch marks in many pregnant women.

We make Belly Butter with essential oil and no preservatives, using some of the finest butters and oils available on the market today. Kokum Butter is one of the finest butters known to mankind and is rich in essential fatty acids, which aid in cell oxygenation and make nutrients more readily available for use by skin tissues. Kokum Butter also contains antioxidant vitamin E. It is a non-comodegenic (non pore-clogging) material that aids quick absorption. It helps regenerate tired and worn skin cells and supports skin elasticity and general flexibility of the skin wall. It has been used traditionally in India to soften skin and restore elasticity and as a balm for dry, cracked, rough and calloused skin. It is also beneficial for the treatment of many different conditions, such as:
Helps regenerate skin cells .

Kukui Nut Oil has been used for many years in Hawaii , and has only recently become known to the rest of the world. It is prized for its rejuvenating and soothing effects upon the skin, without leaving a greasy or oily film. Pressed from the seeds of the Aleurites moluccana tree, this oil is invaluable for many different skin conditions, providing moisture and nourishment to skin.
The HistoryThe Kukui Nut tree was first brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers. It quickly adapted, and is now Hawaii 's official state tree. Kukui means ‘enlightenment' in Hawaiian. Traditionally, babies in Hawaii were anointed with Kukui Nut Oil to protect their skin from the sun, salt, and other elements. In addition, it was used on skin irritations, wounds, and burns. Kukui Nut Oil was also used to massage members of royalty, who were sometimes massaged for seven or more hours with this oil! I'd say any pregnant woman should be treat like royalty.
Kukui Nut Oil is a fabulous moisturizer, and quickly penetrates the skin leaving a silky-smooth non-greasy feeling. It is often used for dry or damaged skin, immediately relieving symptoms because of its quick absorption into the skin. It can leave even the roughest and driest skin feeling smooth, soft, and hydrated. Kukui Nut Oil contains Vitamins A, C, and E, providing anti-oxidants that help to protect the skin. This unique oil is able to penetrate into the deepest skin layers, while creating a protective shield that locks in moisture. It is great for those with sensitive skin, and is a wonderful ingredient in bodycare products. Specifically, it is beneficial for the following conditions:
Burns – including: sunburn, windburn, radiation burns, and heat induced burns.
Eczema
Chapped skin
Psoriasis
Mature and prematurely aged skin
Dry skin conditions
Acne
Scars
Lesions
Dry hair and scalp

Our Facial Butter also contains Kokum Butter and Kukui Nut Oil.

My Life at it's finest!

I was born and raised in Hayward, Wisconsin, I aquired a taste for nature at it's finest and rarest, as a child I would sit next to the Namekagen River with just the sound of rippling water and nature. I prized the earth I walked on and still do. Living close to Lake Superior, we would take Sunday afternoon rides, my father showed us many secret places, We visited vast water falls, rambling shores, secride Indian Burial Grounds, Eagle Nests, and "The Biggest Tree" in Wisconsin. I grew up thinking that this tree truely was the biggest tree, and in my heart it remains the biggest tree.
I now live in Illinois and have for several years, but my heart and sole is still, sitting next to the Namekagan River. I work very hard to be environmently aware. I believe as a world we should respect and treasure our earth. Attempt to live as green as possible.I can remember, in second grade, the Department of Natural Resources, visited our school with a eco van, the displays included toilet paper that had been colored and an explaination of what inpact it had on the environment, to this day I will not purchase colored toilet paper.Well, with that little bit of information, my life was impacted, and 40 some years later, I make natural skin care products, natural household cleaners, natural candles, natural soap (not the melt and pour) the real stuff, the kind that is made from scratch.What more can I tell you, I love nature, it's gifts and want to see it perserved.
