How to Care for Summer Skin: Why Body Butter Cream Is a Must
Summer Skin Needs Extra Care
We love summer’s golden glow—but sunshine, chlorine, saltwater, and heat can leave skin parched, rough, and dehydrated. Between outdoor adventures and daily showers, your skin’s natural moisture barrier takes a hit. The result? Dry patches, tightness, flakiness, and an overall dull tone.
This is why a deeply moisturizing body butter isn’t just a treat—it’s a summer skincare essential.
Why Body Butter Cream Works (When Lotion Doesn’t)
Not all moisturizers are created equal. Lotions may provide a quick moisture hit, but they tend to be water-based and evaporate quickly—especially in the summer heat.
Body butters are thicker, richer, and formulated with oils and plant butters that:
-
Nourish deeply
-
Seal in hydration
-
Support your skin’s natural lipid barrier
-
Soften rough, dry patches
-
Leave a radiant, silky finish
ANNIKA PURE's Body Butter Cream is formulated to do exactly that without the greasy residue. It melts in, absorbs beautifully, and leaves your skin smooth, bouncy, and summer-ready.
Hero Ingredients That Lock in Moisture + Heal
Let’s take a closer look at the botanical stars inside the formula:
Murumuru Butter
Rich in lauric acid and vitamins, this lightweight butter helps restore elasticity, calm inflammation, and prevent moisture loss. It’s ideal for soothing sun-exposed skin and dry areas like elbows and knees.
Mango Butter
A velvety-soft butter packed with vitamins A and C that helps brighten dull skin and improve texture. Mango butter also promotes long-term skin health by supporting collagen production.
Castor Oil
A thick, luxurious oil that helps reduce roughness and lock in moisture. It forms a barrier on the skin, keeping hydration in and dryness out—perfect after a beach day.
Vitamin E
A skin-protective antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution. It’s a must for summer recovery and long-term skin resilience.
Hero Ingredients That Hydrate + Soothe
Beyond the nourishing butters and oils, ANNIKA PURE's Body Butter Cream features powerhouse hydrators and skin-soothers that work together to calm irritated summer skin:
Hyaluronic Acid
A moisture magnet that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This humectant draws hydration to the skin, plumping and smoothing for an instantly refreshed feel.
Glycerin
A gentle, plant-derived humectant that attracts moisture to the skin's surface and maintains optimal hydration levels. It creates a protective barrier that keeps skin soft and supple.
Allantoin
Derived from comfrey root, this soothing ingredient calms irritated, red, or inflamed skin. It's particularly helpful for post-sun exposure recovery and gentle relief.
Colloidal Oats
Finely ground oats that create a protective barrier while delivering anti-inflammatory benefits. They help reduce itching and irritation—perfect for summer skin that needs extra TLC.
