Body butter is a skin moisturizer that is thicker than body lotions and moisturizers, and is generally made with shea butter, coconut oil, and/or other vegetable-based oils and butters. It is a rich, moisturizing skincare product that is generally made with skincare butters, like shea butter and cocoa butter, and can be used as an alternative to lotion, since its primary job is to moisturize the skin. Body butters are known to be more effective at nourishing and rejuvenating dry skin, whether used all over or only on problem patches, such as elbows and knees.
