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?
