The biggest difference between both is the texture and consistency. Body butters are thicker and are often used to deliver more intense moisture.  They are often heavier and greasier in texture and will require longer time to be absorbed in the skin. The components of a natural body butter are higher in nutritious vitamins and fatty acids, which help to nourish and revitalize your skin and improve healthy skin complexion.

Shea butter has been used for centuries due to its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids to smooth, sooth and conditioning skin. It is safe for all skin types as it has low proteins that can trigger allergies. It contains triterpenes, a naturally occurring compound which protects skin from free-radicals and is thought to deactivate collage fiber destruction, preventing pre-mature aging. High concentration linoleic acid and oleic acid balance out so It will not make your skin oily.

If you have dry skin, it's best to use body butter daily. Meanwhile, if you have normal or oily skin you may only need to use body butter every 2-3 days, as a weekly treatment or just to treat problematic dry patches.

Even if your skin doesn’t feel dry, it is important to moisturize daily to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. You can absolutely use body butters daily, even if you have normal and oily skin and apply accordingly so your skin doesn’t feel weighed down. The type of butter you choose is dependent on your skin type and needs.
