Difference Between Body Lotion And Body Butter





Hello Everyone !!
Some of you might know the difference between a body lotion and a body butter,in this post I will explain the difference between them.

A body butter is lot different than body lotion.So let me first explain what is the difference between a body lotion and a body butter.

There is a clear difference between body butter and body lotion in that,lotions contain water and butters do not.Therefore, lotions will have a good percentage of water or hydrosols.

A body lotion is a light weight combination of oil and water which has a non-greasy feel.It quickly absorbs into the skin.

Reach for the lotion when you need some lightweight moisture.This is especially ideal for the face and hands of those who have a not so dry skin texture. Lotion is more hydrating and non-sticky.The water content in lotion is higher which spreads more and carries less fatty matter. Lotions can be applied to the face and it contains some amount of SPF which is an add on point when you go for lotions.It can be used both during day and night. It is  non-comedogenic and do not clog pores.


A body butter however is a lot thicker,more intense hydration.It contains high amount of oils such as cocoa butter,she butter,Vitamin E and because of these it gives deep intense hydration for the most severely dry or chapped skin.It does not absorb quickly.Skin treated with a rich butter feels smoother and silkier

Butters carry less water and spread less in comparison to lotion. Body butters are raw and basic and lotions are more refined.It cannot be applied to the face because our facial skin is way very sensitive and applying butters can lead to acne or dark facial colour due to the excessive content of greasiness and less water content.

So if you are looking for intense hydration you have to go with body butter,they will give you best results on severely dry an chapped skin.


Butters should be preferably be used during night time as our skin is in the repair mode when we sleep so it tend to be more effective when used at night.

Body butters can clog pores unlike lotions.Body butter is a skin moisturizer that typically contains cocoa butter,shea butter, coconut oil or vegetable-based oil. It’s thicker than lotion and is extra effectual at rejuvenate dry skin, whether used all over or only on problem patches, such as elbows and knees.
