Bergamot Body Butter for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Her mornings used to feel like a sprint with no finish line. She would wake, scroll, dress, and forget that she had a body until lunchtime. Now she keeps a jar of Bergamot Body Butter next to her coffee, and the smell alone resets her shoulders before the day picks up speed. Citrus, gentle, a little bit elegant, the kind of clean that does not try too hard.

I am Kay, founder of So Buttery Skin. I started this in my kitchen after my daughter broke out in eczema as a baby and nothing on the shelf felt safe to put on her skin. Once we had her formula dialed in, I began playing with scents I loved for myself. Bergamot was the first daytime scent that made me feel put together without changing perfumes.

What is inside

The base is whipped shea butter, mango butter, avocado oil, and jojoba oil. That is it. We add bergamot essential oil for the scent. The shea is unrefined, the mango softens the heaviness of pure shea, the avocado feeds dry patches, and the jojoba helps everything absorb quickly without leaving a slick film. Eight ounces, plant based, made in small batches.

What it smells like

Fresh, citrus, a little floral on the dry down. Think Earl Grey tea steeping in a sunny kitchen. It is built for morning energy, clean daytime scent, layering under a fresh perfume.

How to use it

After your shower, while your skin is still a little damp, scoop a small amount and warm it between your palms. Smooth it onto arms, legs, chest, and anywhere that runs dry. A small amount goes a long way. Use within twelve months of opening. Store at room temperature out of direct sun. Once your jar is low, grab a refill pouch to save on every reorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does bergamot smell like?

Bergamot is the citrus note in Earl Grey tea. It is brighter than orange, softer than lemon, and a little floral. It reads as clean and grown up rather than juicy or sweet.

Will citrus make my skin sun sensitive?

We use bergamot at a cosmetic safe level, but as a precaution with any citrus oil, apply it before bed or under clothing if you will be in strong sun. Sunscreen is always a good move.

Is this safe for eczema prone skin?

If you are in an active flare, start with our Eczema Relief Body Butter. Once skin is calm, this scent and our other gentle scents tend to work well. Patch test on the inside of your wrist first.

How long does an 8 ounce jar last?

With daily full body use, about six to eight weeks. With targeted spot use on hands, elbows, and dry patches, much longer.

Can I use this on my face?

We recommend our Face Collection for face. The body butter is rich and works best on the body and hands, where the skin is thicker.

Is this safe during pregnancy?

Most of our body butters are pregnancy friendly when used at normal cosmetic levels. If you have any concerns, check with your provider, or start with our Unscented Body Butter.
