Just the Goods limited edition vegan patchouli + rose body butter
When a little mix up turns into something lovely, this is the result! ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ 🌹 ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
I was making a batch of regular, unscented body butter, when I accidentally started adding ingredients for Just the Goods' foot butter, thus merging shea butter with olive oil! Oops! Or, maybe the perfect opportunity to share something often requested ... a warm, earthy scent!
- Shea butter nourishes skin with vitamins A, E, and F to keep it clear and healthy and provide relief to damage caused by over exposure to the sun. Most significantly, shea easily penetrates skin while allowing it to breathe because it doesn’t clog pores.
- Grape seed oil helps damaged and stressed tissues because it possesses regenerative and restructuring qualities.
- Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, nourishing extra virgin olive oil from Spain can help hydrate, soften, and regenerate skin.
- A little bit of tapioca starch helps the product glide on without leaving a greasy residue
- Patchouli and Bulgarian rose essential oil blend with the naturally nutty undertone of shea butter to produce a warm, earthy scent evocative of late summer folk music festivals under the stars ˚✮♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬⊹ . ݁˖ .
Just the Goods' regularly available varieties of shea-based body butter can be found here.
Nut-free body butter is available here.
This product is handcrafted without the use of artificial preservatives and lasts longer when exposure to the elements (i.e. air, humidity, sunlight) is kept to a minimum. Please store in a cool, dark place and keep tightly sealed between uses for maximum longevity. Best used within 12 months of opening.
Like other limited edition items produced by Just the Goods, sample-size formats are not available and this item is offered as final sale only. Thank you!
Ingredients:
butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, manihot esculenta (tapioca) root starch, rosa damascena (rose/rose de damas) oil in simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, pogostemon cablin (patchouli) leaf oil

Full sized products offer 65 g/2.29 oz of body butter filled by weight (not volume) in a 125 ml glass jar.
15 g mini jars are reserved as giveaway items for subscribers to Just the Goods' newsletter: https://justthegoods.substack.com/
Additional information:
1) Just the Goods whipped body butter is packed by weight, not volume, so jars containing the batches that turn out more fluffy tend to look as if they are more full than jars containing batches that don’t have as much air whipped into them. A number of factors determine how much air whips into a batch including: how long a batch rests in the freezer, temperature when whipping starts, how long the batch is whipped after the freezing process, or even how cold a batch was when it was packed into the jar and was sealed. These are issue that can be controlled in a mechanized/automated factory setting, but since handmade products involve human interaction, small differences from batch to batch can and do happen. The density, quantity and type of essential oils used in each recipe can also contribute differences between batches.
Please also note that jars are filled by hand using a spatula so each jar may look different when packed -- some will be filled closer to the bottom, some will be filled closer to the top. When I'm filling jars, the goal is to work quickly and to put the same weight of product into each jar. If a jar is packed slightly over 65 g (i.e.1 - 3 g) I won't scoop product out to create a uniform jar; however, if a jar is packed considerably more (3 - 10 g), I will adjust as necessary to make sure the amount of product packed is closer to 65 g.
TL;DR: All jars do contain the same weight of product... the only difference is that some jars may contain fewer microscopic air bubbles. Jars are packed by hand and each may appear different.
2) Please note that this all natural product is made without artificial emulsifying agents to prevent it from melting during shipping in the summer. With that being said, Just the Goods has been shipping this product year 'round since 2009 and has observed that the shea butter and/or cocoa butter it contains is a resilient carrier oil capable of melting and solidifying multiple times without harming it's composition. As such, these products aren't considered damaged if they melt during shipping and are still perfectly good to use once they have re-congealed into balm form. To do this, allow the product to rest in your fridge for approximately an hour. Yes, the texture will different because there won't be as many/any air bubbles trapped in the product from the whipping process, but the product itself is still completely fresh and will work in exactly the same way. Store remaining product in a cool, dry place to maximize longevity.
