Must Have Mondays: bnurtured Whipped Body Butters

Monday Jul 14, 2008 – By Nicole Mitsch

We all struggle to live balanced, responsible and nurtured lives. But in our daily hustle and bustle we tend to make decisions that are not healthy for our minds, bodies or the environment. Sometimes we just need to get back to the basics in order to be our best. Take away all the extras in order to truly heal.

I recently came across a product that embodies that very philosophy and spirit. bnurtered is a company that specializes in natural based body butters that are made by hand and designed to nurture your mind, body and soul. Their signature blend of fig, guava and apple fruit extracts are sure to nourish and condition your skin in a natural way without all the extra damaging ingredients. Their goal is to bring each costumer great smelling, easy to use products that will nourish your body with only the best nature has to over. And to make sure you feel great in your soul about your bnurtured purchase they use eco-friendly and sustainable materials for their packaging. And are committed to being a socially responsible organization by using Fair Trade ingredients.

But the real magic happens when you slathering on the body butter ($14, bnurtured.com). Made with 95% refined shea butter, they are designed to soothe, moisturize and nourish dry skin. The butters create a long lasting protective barrier to seal in moisture and guard against harsh environmental elements. Perfect for daily use and wonderful to help heal dry cracked summer skin.

They come in a variety of yummy flavors including Sangria White Peach, Sweet Pineapple, Lemon Chiffon, Ocean and my favorite so far, Brown Sugar Fig. This whipped body butter is a delicious mix of sweet brown sugar, fresh fig, cedar, coconut milk and musk. So indulgent. I use it right after I step out of the shower and throughout the day when my skin needs it. To be honest — I jump at any chance I get to butter up with this rich moisturizer. All in all this is a amazing product from a wonderful company.

Oh and did I mention it arrives in adorable packaging that makes you feel like its a birthday all over again. Well without that getting older thing to mess it up.
