Bergamot Refill Pouch

Her favorite jar is in its third life. She bought it last spring, refilled it in the fall, and she is back here again because nothing else smells like a clean morning the way bergamot does. The refill goes from pouch to jar in under a minute, and she gets to keep the ritual without buying another container she does not need.

I am Kay, and I make these in my kitchen that started this whole thing. Bergamot was one of the early scents we added once my daughter's eczema was finally calm and we could play with essential oils again. The refill pouch is how I personally restock at home, because the jar I love is still good.

The refill math: $3.33 per ounce vs $3.75 in the jar. 12oz for $39.99 saves you $5 vs a jar and a half ($45), and skips the extra jar.

What is in the pouch

This is a 12 ounce refill of our Bergamot Body Butter, the exact same plant based formula as the Bergamot Body Butter jar. The base is shea butter, sweet almond oil, rosehip oil, and vitamin E, with bergamot essential oil, a bright, fresh citrus. Same small batch quality, same texture, just packed in a lighter pouch so you can refill the jar you already love. Contains sweet almond oil (tree nut).

How to refill

Open the cap on your existing jar, snip the corner of the pouch, and squeeze the body butter into your jar. Smooth the top with the back of a clean spoon, secure the lid, and store at room temperature out of direct sun. Use within twelve months. After your shower, scoop a small amount and apply to damp skin so it locks in moisture and absorbs fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does bergamot smell like?

Bergamot is the citrus you taste in Earl Grey tea. It is brighter than orange, softer than lemon, and a little floral on the dry down. It tends to read as fresh rather than sweet.

Will citrus make my skin sun sensitive?

We use bergamot at a cosmetic safe level, but as with any citrus oil, we recommend applying it before bed or under clothing if you are out in strong sun. Sunscreen is always a good idea.

Is the refill the same formula as the jar?

Exactly the same. We use the same recipe, the same ingredients, and the same small batch process. The only difference is the packaging.

How much do I save with the refill?

The 12oz pouch is $39.99, which works out to $3.33 per ounce vs $3.75 per ounce for the $30 jar. The same amount of butter bought as jars would cost $45, so the refill saves you $5 and an extra container. Most regulars rotate between a jar and a refill every few months.

How long does a refill last?

About three to four months with daily, full body use. Longer if you are mostly using it on hands, elbows, and other spot areas.

Can I use this if I have eczema or very sensitive skin?

For active eczema, start with the Eczema Relief Body Butter. For sensitive but not flaring skin, this scent and our other gentle scents tend to work well. Patch test on the inside of your wrist first.

Who makes these?

I do. My name is Kay, and I make every jar by hand in small batches in Leonardtown, Maryland. It started with a body butter for my daughter's skin, and Jeremiah and I turned it into So Buttery Skin in 2023.

What is in the body butters?

Every scented and unscented body butter starts with shea butter, sweet almond oil, rosehip oil and vitamin E. The scented ones add essential oils, and the Unscented has none. The Eczema Soothing jar has its own formula: shea, mango and avocado butters, jojoba oil, hemp seed oil, vitamin E and a light touch of tea tree and lavender. The full list is on every product page under Ingredients.

Any allergens I should know about?

Yes. Sweet almond oil is a tree nut, and it is in all of the scented body butters and the Unscented. If you have a nut allergy, check the Ingredients tab before you buy, and patch test anything new on a small spot of skin first.

Is it vegan and cruelty free?

Yes. Everything is plant based and nothing is tested on animals.

How should I store it?

Somewhere cool and out of direct sun. Shea butter softens in the heat and firms up in the cold, and that is normal. If a jar arrives soft on a hot day, pop it in the fridge for twenty minutes.

How fast does it ship?

Orders ship within 2 to 3 business days from Leonardtown, Maryland, and US shipping is free over $60. You get a tracking email as soon as it leaves.

Can I return it?

Because these are personal care products, I cannot take returns. If anything is wrong with your order, email me at info@sobutteryskin.com and I will make it right.
