For all skins, all seasons. Every soul that needs a moment.

100ml £20.00 / 200ml £38.00 | Age 3+

There is a moment when you open Bodhi Butter and smell the lavender and Roman chamomile when your shoulders seem to drop slightly.

Around here, we call it the “Oooh moment.”

You open the jar, breathe it in and, almost without thinking, go “oooh.” It happens so often at markets that I have stopped being surprised by it and really, that was always part of the point.

Bodhi Butter is a rich botanical body balm made with kukui oil, calendula-infused sunflower oil, shea butter and plant oils to soften, nourish and protect skin that feels dry, tight or weather-worn.

Then there is the other part of it -the warmth of your hands, the massage, the scent. Standing still for a minute after a bath while it melts into damp skin.

Skincare can tend to the mind as much as it tends to the body. Touch, scent and repetition all matter. When we give the body a chance to soften and the mind a chance to settle, skin is no longer having to do its job in the middle of quite so much noise.

That is the bit I care about just as much as the ingredients and Bodhi Butter does both.

Its texture is rich and buttery without sitting heavily on the skin, so you can use it everywhere from dry hands and elbows to legs, knees and those patches that always seem to appear as soon as the weather changes, and the soft lavender and chamomile aroma makes it particularly lovely at the quieter end of the day.

The Bodhi Butter Moment

I think this is the easiest way to understand Bodhi Butter.

Apply it after a warm bath or shower while your skin is still slightly damp.

Warm a little between your hands and massage it slowly into the skin then don't immediately rush off to do the next thing - stand there for a minute and breathe.

The botanical oils help soften and condition the skin while the lavender and roman chamomile create that warm, familiar spa-like scent that so many people associate with switching off.

Touch, scent and repetition can become useful little signals throughout the day and sometimes a minute is enough.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Bodhi Butter suitable for sensitive-feeling skin?
Bodhi Butter was created for dry, delicate and sensitive-feeling skin using a rich blend of plant oils, butters, beeswax and calendula-infused sunflower oil. It does contain lavender and Roman chamomile essential oils, so those wanting an essential-oil-free option may prefer Baby Bodhi Butter.

What age can Bodhi Butter be used from?
Bodhi Butter is suitable from age 3+. For babies and younger children, choose Baby Bodhi Butter, which has been formulated without essential oils or added fragrance.

Can I use Bodhi Butter every day?
Yes. It was designed as an everyday body balm and can be used whenever skin feels dry, tight or in need of extra nourishment.

When is the best time to apply it?
Straight after a bath or shower is particularly lovely. Applying an oil-rich balm to slightly damp skin helps hold onto some of that moisture. You can also use it whenever dry areas need attention.

Can I use Bodhi Butter on my hands?
Yes. Massage a small amount into dry hands and cuticles, particularly before bed or after frequent washing.

Does Bodhi Butter contain fragrance?
There is no synthetic perfume. Its aroma comes from lavender and Roman chamomile essential oils.

What does Bodhi Butter smell like?
Warm lavender and chamomile. Soft, herbal and unmistakably spa-like. It is one of those scents that seems to make people breathe out when they open the jar.

What is the difference between Bodhi Butter and Baby Bodhi Butter?
Bodhi Butter is the aromatic family balm for ages 3+, with kukui oil plus lavender and Roman chamomile. Baby Bodhi Butter is the simpler fragrance-free formulation designed for much younger and more delicate skin.

Can I use it as part of a bedtime routine?
Yes. Bodhi Butter works particularly well after an evening bath or shower. The repeated combination of touch, massage and its familiar lavender-and-chamomile aroma can make it a comforting way of marking the transition towards bedtime.
