Mystic Oud Body Butter for Dry and Sensitive Skin

The first time she wore Mystic Oud, her partner asked twice. What are you wearing, that smells incredible, where is it from. She got to half smile and say, it is just my body butter. That is the magic of this scent. It reads as a perfume you cannot quite place, layered, warm, the kind of smell that makes a Tuesday feel like a holiday.

I am Kay, founder of So Buttery Skin. I built this brand in my kitchen after my daughter's eczema, but Mystic Oud is one of the scents I made purely for me. I wanted a body butter that felt like a candle lit room and a soft cashmere sweater, something grown and grounded. Five essential oils later, here it is.

What is inside

The base is rich and creamy shea butter, sweet almond oil, rosehip oil, and vitamin E. That is it. We add cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense, and a touch of vanilla for the scent. The shea is unrefined, the sweet almond oil softens it and helps it glide, the rosehip oil goes to the driest spots, and the vitamin E keeps the oils fresh. Eight ounces, plant based, made in small batches. Contains sweet almond oil (tree nut).

What it smells like

Warm, woody, expensive smelling, with vanilla rounding the edges. The body butter that earns compliments. It is built for date night, signature scent, the body butter you wear when you want to feel like the most interesting person in the room.

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 Mystic Oud smell like?

Warm and woody. Cedarwood and sandalwood do the grounding, patchouli and frankincense add depth, and vanilla softens it. It reads as luxury without being heavy or perfumey.

Can I wear this with my regular perfume?

Yes, and a lot of customers do. Oud notes layer beautifully under most warm or floral perfumes and they extend the wear of your fragrance.

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.

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.
