Body Butter is a full-body Ayurvedic treatment that, when used every day in place of moisturizing lotion, will both deeply moisturize and repair the deepest and surface layers of the skin. Because all the LifeSpa skin products are 100% active material with no preservatives - they need to be administered with water. The Himalayan Mist is a rose and orange blossom water blend that adds to the skin care benefits.

It combines avocado butter, which is rich in Vitamin E and other protective antioxidants, with mango butter, which is rich in high quality essential fatty acids necessary to restore skin tone and elasticity and is high in moisturizing factors. Shea butter from the Karite tree is rich in phytosterols and antioxidants that heal damaged skin, moisturize, and provide powerful solar and environmental protection.
Body Butter is rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, which stimulates the production of collagen and inhibits breakdown. A healing array of Ayurvedic herbal extracts soaked in moisturizing olive squaline is carried deeply into the skin by the butters. Shatavari, while providing skin softening demulcent activity, has been used traditionally as an analgesic for stiff joints, muscle spasms, and stiff necks. It is rich in phytosterol precursors that both heal and protect the skin, and it has shown anticancer activity in epidermal cancers.
For healing the skin, the Ayurvedic herb Neem stands alone as the most effective. Neem is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, analgesic for stiff muscles, while being a penetrating moisturizer and active skin reparative. Neem is truly a panacea, when it comes to skin care. Kumari, which is more commonly known as aloe vera, is also considered a panacea when it comes to skin conditions. It deeply heals and moisturizes while providing incredible environmental skin protection. Manjistha, which is probably the strongest blood purifier in Ayurvedic medicine, acts to destagnate lymph and blood in the deep layers of the skin, promoting healing and restoring elasticity to the skin. Traditionally it was used to remove discolorations and chronic skin inflammations.
This formula is topped off with the addition of turmeric, which is gaining notoriety as the most powerful non-steroidal anti-inflammatory in the herbal kingdom. It too, like Neem and Aloe, is a panacea for skin repair, healing and moisturizing. The essential oil of Benzoin is added to enhance the natural aroma of the herbs and butters. This Ayurvedic Body Butter also goes a long way, and less is more when applying it. For healing, moisturizing, and protection Body Butter is truly magic for all types of skin.
