🧴 What’s the Difference Between Body Butter and Lotion?

If you’ve ever stood wondering whether to grab a body butter or a lotion, you’re not alone! While both help keep your skin soft and hydrated, they’re actually quite different — and knowing which to use (and when) can make a big difference in your self-care routine.

🧈 Body Butter: Deep Nourishment

Body butters are rich, thick, and ultra-moisturising. They’re usually made with natural ingredients like shea butter and plant-based oils, creating a dense, luxurious texture that’s perfect for dry or tired skin.

✅ Best for:

• Very dry areas (like elbows, knees, or heels)

• Winter months

• Locking in moisture after bathing

• Skin that needs extra TLC or recovery

💡 Pixie Tip:

Our CBD-infused body butters add an extra layer of skin-soothing care — perfect for relaxing sore muscles or calming inflammation.

💧 Lotion: Light and Quick-Absorbing

Lotions are lighter in texture and typically water-based, which means they absorb into the skin more quickly. They’re ideal for when you need quick hydration without any greasiness.

✅ Best for:

• Everyday use

• Skin that needs hydration but not heavy treatment

• Warmer weather, or mornings when you’re on the go
