Continuing with my lavender kick, I randomly picked up this Lavender Chamomile body butter by Deep Steep. It is an organic body butter at a fairly decent price ($7 when I bought it). I found this body butter while browsing Abe's Market. Lots of goodies to be found on there!
{the body butter}
I am not overly impressed with this body butter. It is thick and creamy, as body butters should be. And I like that it's in a squeeze tube so it makes it easier to use. It also spreads on easy enough. However, it takes a while to really sink in and I have to really massage it into my skin. There is also a slight sticky residue left on my skin, mostly noticeable on my hands. I always have to wash my hands after applying, which is a bit annoying.
However, the body butter is fairly moisturizing. My skin has been feeling a bit softer lately and someone even commented on how soft my skin is. This might also be because I have been adding daily moisturizing to my routine, which I often neglect to do. There are bound to be notable differences with this change in routine.
{the scent}
The Lavender Chamomile aroma in this body butter is a lovely scent. The lavender is most noticeable in the tube and when first applying and has that fresh, herbal scent lavender has. After applying, the scent mellows into a softly sweet scent that slightly reminds me of baby bathtime, but not quite. The scent is also light and does not last very long. But that is alright with me because I am not always a fan of strong scents in body butters.

{conclusion}
I will probably not repurchase this body butter from Deep Steep. The formula doesn't quite do it for me. However, I do like the ease of use and the light scent. And it does a good job of keeping my skin soft. I will use up the rest of this product, but after that I am going to look elsewhere for a body butter. Any suggestions?
Mirasol Farm has this scent in body cream that I am using right now. I like the formula because it doesn't feel heavy but the chamomile scent is very strong. I've had the jar about a year, like you I usually forget to wear it, but now that the weather is changing I am reaching for it more. I brought it in to work so it stares at me all day and is less neglected!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you suggested Mirasol Farm! I have been eyeing that exact body butter for awhile now. I might have to try it out soon. Do you know if they have Black Friday sales?
DeleteAlso, can you smell the apple in the MF body butter? That scent note intrigues me.
DeleteThey had 15% off lotions and creams last year. The chamomile does smell like apples. If you really like chamomile I would go for it, this is herbal scent not for the herbal newbie. :)
DeleteHi :) I know this body butter post was a while ago but I just came across a coupon code for Mirasol Farm and thought I'd pass it on, blessednest15 to get 15% off through sunday, september 14.
