Candy Cane - Solid Body Butter 65g | Salt + Steam

Sweet vanilla and peppermint essential oil in a solid butter that comes in a cardboard tube instead of a plastic tub.

A seasonal scent made for Christmas, and one of the few festive body products that does not smell like an air freshener - the peppermint is essential oil rather than fragrance, so it reads cool and clean rather than sugary.

The base is the same across the range: cocoa butter and mango butter for the moisturising, kaolin clay to stop it feeling greasy, and vitamin E. The formula is concentrated, so a single swipe covers more than you expect - warm it between your hands or apply it straight to damp skin after a shower.

It goes on solid and melts on contact with skin. Good stocking filler, better winter hand and elbow rescue.

FAQs

Will it melt in a warm room?
It softens in heat but holds its shape in normal room temperatures. In a heatwave, keep it somewhere cool.

Is it greasy?
Less than you would expect from something this rich. The kaolin clay absorbs the excess, so it sinks in rather than sitting on top.

How long does one tube last?
The formula is concentrated, so 65g goes a long way - months of regular use on hands and elbows, less if you are doing your whole body daily.
