Hot Beauty Buy: Nourish Organic Raw Shea Butter

We all know the winter season can wreak havoc on skin, leaving it dry, itchy, and cracked. But what works in alleviating these conditions? Look no further for your spring skin saver. Introducing Nourish Organic (the first 100% USDA certified organic beauty brand sold at a city favorite, Whole Foods, as well as Ulta) and its new Organic Raw Shea Butter.

Along with helping to improve elasticity for smooth skin, the butter absorbs quickly and is rich in texture. Note: don’t expect a liquid-y type of lotion or even whipped souffle texture. This intensive moisturizer is really concentrate and requires some force to scoop it out of the jar and massage into skin.

All that said, the moisturizing and healing results are beyond noticeable, and remember that it’s entirely chemical free! Organic Raw Shea Butter can be used on any area of the body calling for hydration- including elbows, knees, feet, hands, face, and even hair. I just adore the package design and branding too – it’s very reminiscent of specialty food and organic market labels.
