Pumpkin Spice & Vanilla - Solid Body Butter 65g | Salt + Steam

Warm autumn spice over soft vanilla, in a solid butter that comes in a cardboard tube instead of a plastic tub.

The autumn scent in the range, and a gentler one than the name suggests - the spice sits behind the vanilla rather than leading, so it ends up warm rather than sharp. If you want something cosy that is not overtly Christmassy, this is the one.

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.

Push up a little from the base of the tube and rub straight onto skin - it melts as it warms. Best on damp skin after a bath or shower. Push the butter back down before replacing the cap.

FAQs

How strong is the scent?
Moderate. It is essential-oil led rather than heavily fragranced, so it fades over an hour or two rather than following you round all day.

Can I use it on my face?
It is designed as a body butter. It is rich and scented, so most people are better off keeping it below the neck.

How does it compare to the Candy Cane?
Same base, different mood. Candy Cane is cool and minty, this one is warm and spiced.
