Ellovi sent me a big jar of their Butter in the brand new vanilla scent! I thought you guys would like this product because not only is it cruelty free (no animal testing or animal ingredients!), it’s made with only 6 “wildly-harvested” ingredients: Macadamia, Hawaiian coconut, shea, vanilla bourbon, Ghanaian marula, and non-GMO corn starch. Simple! Oh and it comes in a glass jar for your reusing/recycling pleasure.
It’s a very all-purpose product. Suggested uses:
- All-over body butter (great for massages)
- Night-time facial moisturizer
- Natural sunscreen (SPF 5 – 10)
- Makeup remover (try it on a cotton ball)
- Great for sensitive skin, eczema, and rosacea.
Another cool thing, it doesn’t have water in it, so it’s uber-concentrated. This jar is gonna last forever! Well, for a year. They don’t use preservatives so you should use it up within a year. I can do it! And because it’s concentrated, that also means it’s extra moisturizing for your skin.
So the texture is not creamy like a lotion, it’s more like…I guess actual butter consistency. BUT, unlike actual butter, it’s not greasy at all when you put it on. I was worried it’d be greasy or waxy because it’s so thick but nope! It went on easy and absorbed right in! With not a trace of greasy residue. But my skin definitely felt softer!
As I said, they JUST added this vanilla version of the butter to their line (and a vanilla lip butter too). It doesn’t smell like straight-up vanilla extract to me, more like a vanilla cookie maybe. But the scent isn’t that strong. You can def smell it when you put it on, but after that it’s more of a subtle smell. Very nice!
In conclusion, I give it all my thumbs up! I’m stoked to add this to my vegan skincare routine! I’ve been keeping my jar at work but I may have to get another for home. You can buy it for $26 on their site. A little pricy but like I said, it’s concentrated so you only need a little at a time. It’ll last a good while. Plus, macadamia is the first ingredient…those nuts are baller.
Oh, and it looks like if you order the vanilla Butter by Jan 31st, you get a free vanilla lip butter! But what I really want to try is that new tinted lip butter—it gets its color from some cray flower I never heard of! Exciting! Just when you thought you heard of all the cray flowers in the world.
