How to Use Lavender Body Spread

Scoop a small amount and warm between your palms — a little goes a long way. Massage into skin after showering while skin is still slightly damp for maximum absorption. Apply to hands, elbows, and any dry spots throughout the day. Pro tip: Apply to feet before bed and slip on cotton socks for an overnight moisture treatment.

Key Ingredients

• Distilled Water (Aqua): The base of the emulsion — purified water allows the formula to deliver moisture to the skin's surface layer where oil-only formulas can't reach. The water phase is what gives Body Spread its lighter, lotion-like feel compared to a balm or butter.
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): Unrefined African shea provides the richest emollient base in the formula. High in unsaponifiable fractions — the components that don't convert to soap — shea delivers deep, lasting moisture and natural anti-inflammatory support.
• Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus Armeniaca): Lightweight carrier oil that absorbs readily into the skin's upper layers. Its oleic and linoleic acid profile mirrors the skin's natural composition, contributing to the formula's smooth, non-greasy finish.
• Vegetable-Based Emulsifying Wax (Glyceryl Stearate & PEG-100 Stearate): The ingredient that makes Body Spread a spread — this plant-derived emulsifier binds the water and oil phases into a stable, creamy texture. Sourced from vegetable oils, not petroleum.
• Olive Fruit Oil (Olea Europaea): Cold-pressed olive oil contributes squalene and antioxidant compounds with skin-conditioning properties. Adds richness and a characteristic skin-softening effect.
• Stearic Acid: A naturally occurring fatty acid found in shea and cocoa butter that stabilizes the emulsion and contributes to the spread's firm-yet-meltable texture. Skin-compatible and non-irritating.
• Potassium Hydroxide: Used in trace amounts to achieve the correct pH for skin compatibility. Not present as an active ingredient in the finished product — it reacts during formulation to create the emulsion structure.
• Preservative System (Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol & Sorbic Acid): A modern cosmetically approved system that protects formula integrity without parabens or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. Keeps every jar safe and stable through its full shelf life.
• Carbomer: A cosmetic-grade thickener used at minimal levels solely for consistent, scoopable texture.
• Fragrance Oil or Essential Oil: Phthalate-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and formaldehyde-free.
