Tackling dry skin in the winter.

 
 
 

The Story Behind the Body Crème: Your Winter Skin Saviour

It all started one cold winter night. After a long, exhausting day, I finally crawled into bed and quickly drifted off into that blissful, cozy, uber-relaxed dream state—when suddenly my legs started itching like mad. Half an hour later, I realized sleep wasn’t happening until I put cream on them. That’s when inspiration struck, and the next day, the Body Creme was reborn. But not just any body cream.

What Makes the Body Crème Different

Our Body Crème isn’t your average lotion. It’s rich, oil-based, and deeply nourishing—designed to support your skin’s natural barrier instead of stripping it.

Your skin is made of water and lipids (fats). Those lipids are essential for keeping moisture in and irritants out. That’s why oil-based moisturizers—like this one—deliver longer-lasting softness and protection, especially through dry winter months.

Why Water-Based Moisturizers Don’t Cut It

Most “luxury” creams sound fancy—Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil or other catchy ingredients—but then they dilute those powerful ingredients down to a negligible amount or cram it full of fillers, alcohols and water.

Here’s the truth: water evaporates. Lotions literally cannot moisturize your skin. And definitely not from shower to shower.

If you really want hydrated, resilient skin, choose oil-based products that lock in the water already in your skin—like our Body Crème. (For an extra hydration boost, pair it with our skin-nourishing soap before moisturizing.)

How to Use It for Maximum Results

  1. Cleanse: Start with a warm shower using a nourishing, superfatted soap to wash away buildup.

  2. Exfoliate: Use gentle scrubby gloves to exfoliate dead skin and boost circulation.

  3. Lock It In: Massage in Body Crème immediately after towel-drying to seal in moisture and fortify your skin’s barrier.

Pro tip: exfoliating not only helps your skin absorb nutrients better—it also makes your soap last longer!!

The Science of Dry Skin

Studies show that dry skin develops tiny micro-cracks that weaken its barrier, allowing irritants and bacteria to get in. That’s where our Body Crème comes in.

It’s packed with nutrient-rich non-seed butters and oils—like Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, and Coconut Oil—that:

  • Restore and strengthen the skin barrier

  • Prevent moisture loss

  • Protect against environmental stressors

By using oil-based products like the Body Crème (and pairing it with moisturizing cleansers and alcohol-free products), you’re giving your skin everything it needs to stay soft, smooth, and resilient.

Why Skin Potion Naturals Stands Out

We don’t dilute, disguise, or add fillers—ever. We don’t use cheap crap like canola oil or cheap sunflower oil. Only the best for you, my lovelies!


Our Body Crème is made with intentional, pure ingredients that deliver visible results for your skin. Because there’s no water, every jar is highly concentrated and long-lasting—less waste, more nourishment.
