Body butter

A good body butter is thicker and richer than a lotion, so it suits skin that feels rough, tight or flaky. Our edit brings together six balms and butters made with shea, cocoa and natural oils, priced from £12.99. Smooth one over damp skin after a shower and it helps hold moisture in for hours.

Rich butters from Deyga and Highborn London

Deyga's Chocolate Body Butter 100G (£15.99) blends cocoa with nourishing oils, and it is the pick if you love a warm, sweet scent. A chocolate body butter feels like a treat on cold UK evenings. The Rose & Geranium Body Butter 40G, also £15.99, uses a rich mix of natural butters and oils for long-lasting softness. For a more luxurious finish, Highborn London's Natural Luminosity Body Butter (£50) has a butter-soft texture made for dull, dry skin.

Feet and lips need care too

Deyga's Foot Butter 40 g (£12.99) combines virgin coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, vitamin E and vanilla to condition and smooth the skin on your feet, with a light, non-greasy feel. Highborn London's Superior Lip Butter comes in 15ml (£22.50) and Large 50ml (£29) sizes for lips that need extra comfort. You will find more lip picks in our lip balm and lip care edit.

If you are choosing a body butter for dry skin, start with the Deyga butters and use them morning and night on elbows, knees and shins. Pair your butter with a gentle body scrub once or twice a week so it sinks in more easily. Every product is 100% authentic and ships from the UK, with free UK delivery on orders over £40.
