Earthley Whipped Body Butter, Vanilla Bean / 4 OZ

Vanilla bean body butter whipped light enough to sink in without a greasy leftover.

The label says whipped, which means somebody took a thick, dense butter and beat air into it. I wasn't there, but the result feels lighter than you'd expect from something that started out so rich. It glides on, it settles in, and it doesn't make you wait around for it to dry.

Why the whipped texture matters

Most body butters are dense enough to hold a spoon upright. This one has been aerated, so it spreads easily and absorbs without that heavy film that makes you check your palms for the next ten minutes. I do this. Nobody asked me to.

• Whipped texture that glides on smoothly
• Absorbs quickly for a lighter, less greasy feel
• Warm vanilla bean scent that isn't heavy
• Nourishes skin and helps maintain a soft, comfortable feel

About the vanilla

Vanilla bean is a pod, not a flavor, and I think about that more than I should. The scent is warm and sweet, the kind that smells like a bakery somewhere down the street. It's a body product, though, so keep it off your toast.

How to use it

Apply to clean skin after a shower, or anywhere it's feeling dry or tight. A little goes a long way, which is good, because the jar is only 4 oz and I'm not made of money. It fits easily into a daily skincare routine for overall skin comfort and a smooth finish.
