Body butter ingredients and skin types

- Shea Butter - intensely nourishing and protective, ideal for very dry or rough skin.
- Coconut Oil - lightweight hydration for normal to dry skin with a tropical scent.
- Almond Milk - calms and soothes sensitive skin while offering gentle hydration.

Every product is made with ethically sourced Community Fair Trade ingredients.
What are the benefits of body butter?
Body butters deliver deep, intensive hydration, especially to areas prone to dryness like elbows, knees, and feet. Unlike lighter lotions, body butters form a protective barrier that locks in moisture for up to 72 hours. Regular use helps soften and smooth rough patches, improve skin elasticity and reduce flakiness, soothe irritation from dryness or environmental stress, and provide long-lasting fragrance throughout the day. They're especially beneficial in colder months or for very dry or dehydrated skin.
How to choose the right body butter
Finding the right body cream depends on your skin needs and texture preferences.
- Very dry skin: choose ultra-rich formulas like Shea Body Butter or Argan Body Butter.
- Sensitive skin: try fragrance-free or gentle blends such as Almond Milk Body Butter.
- Normal skin: choose light but nourishing scents like Mango, Strawberry, or Moringa.
- Prefer fast absorption? Body Yogurts offer lightweight, non-sticky hydration.
All body butters contain at least 95% natural-origin ingredients and come in fully recyclable tubs.
How to use a body butter
For best results, apply body butter to clean, dry skin using the correct method.
- After showering: pat skin dry but leave slightly damp for better absorption.
- Scoop and warm: warm the product between your hands before applying.
- Massage in: use circular motions, focusing on dry or rough areas.
- Use consistently: apply once or twice per day, especially after exfoliation or before bed for overnight repair.
For enhanced results, exfoliate with our body scrubs beforehand to remove dead skin and improve absorption.

Nice
"Nice"
So pleased this is now
"So pleased this is now back in stock! Had been using it for years and suddenly it was no longer available even though all the other Moringa products were. In my opinion it is so much better than the body yoghurt."
"Great products. Love moringa"
Lovely product
"Lovely product"
Back Again
"Thank heavens you've brought this back! I've been buying very old tins off ebay!"
The very best, used it
"The very best, used it for years, wish there were more shops to purchase from."
"I love these products but they seem to be getting very expensive."
Delightfully buttery and wonderfully scented
"I came across this wonderful body butter in the Nairobi body Shop and fell in love with the texture, and the sweet perfume which is heavenly!!! I am forever applying it!!"
Fantastic very rich and creamy always use it.
"I have used the Moringa Body butter for years and it never lets me down. It nourishes my skin well and keeps my skin well moisturised throughout the day. Do Not like the Moringa Body Yogurt does not moisturise my skin just slips over my skin not adding any moisture."
