Shea Moisture Deeply Moisturizing Body Butter — 11.5 oz Rich Hydration with Raw Shea & Argan for 48H Moisture

SheaMoisture Deeply Moisturizing Body Butter is an ultra-rich, fast-absorbing cream that delivers up to 48 hours of hydration to seriously dry skin using Fair-Trade shea butter, argan oil, and pro-ceramides.

Formulated to restore and pamper dry, flaky areas without a greasy residue, this velvety body butter combines raw shea butter sourced from West African women producers with argan oil and pro-ceramides to replenish moisture and support skin’s barrier. Dermatologist-tested and free from parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, and mineral oil, the formula targets trouble spots like elbows, knees, and heels while being suitable for richer, melanin-rich skin needs.

How does this body butter help extremely dry skin?

The blend of raw shea butter and argan oil supplies dense, nourishing emollients that soften rough patches and smooth texture. Pro-ceramides work with natural lipids to help reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier, reducing trans-epidermal water loss for longer-lasting comfort.

• Concentrated shea butter provides deep emollience to rough zones.
• Argan oil adds essential fatty acids for softness and pliability.
• Pro-ceramides support barrier function to lock in hydration.
• Non-greasy finish absorbs quickly for immediate wearability.

Will it feel heavy or leave residue after application?

This formula is rich but designed to absorb rapidly so you won’t get an oily film on clothing. The butter’s velvety texture melts into skin on contact, delivering nourishment while leaving a smooth, satin finish.

• Quick-absorbing base prevents greasy after-feel.
• Velvety consistency for easy spreading and massage.
• Works well under clothing and at bedtime.

How long does the moisturization last and how often should I apply?

Clinical-style usage notes support up to 48 hours of moisturization on well-treated areas, though frequency depends on individual skin needs and the environment. For very dry spots, apply daily or as needed—focus on knees, elbows, hands, and heels for best results.

• Up to 48 hours of hydration on treated skin.
• Daily use recommended for chronically dry areas.
• Reapply after showering or handwashing for maintained softness.

What ingredients and safety considerations should I know?

Key actives include Fair-Trade raw shea butter, argan oil, and pro-ceramides, blended into a formula free from parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, and mineral oil. It’s dermatologist-tested, but always patch-test if you have sensitive skin or a history of ingredient reactions.

• Fair-Trade raw shea butter from West Africa for nourishing fats.
• Argan oil for fatty acids and skin conditioning.
• Pro-ceramides to help rebuild the lipid barrier.
• Free from common irritants like parabens and phthalates.

Who is this for? SheaMoisture Deeply Moisturizing Body Butter is ideal for people with very dry or textured skin who want a restorative, non-greasy moisturizer that absorbs quickly and provides long-lasting hydration. It’s particularly suited for those seeking ethically sourced shea butter, formulas tested on melanin-rich skin needs, and shoppers who prefer products without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or mineral oil. Use it as part of a nightly ritual or as targeted care for stubborn dry patches to reveal smoother, softer skin.
