Say Goodbye to Greasy: Why We Ditched Shea for a Better Butter

Say Goodbye to Greasy: Why We Ditched Shea for a Better Butter

If you’ve been slathering on thick body butter hoping for silky skin, but you got greasy skin, weird grainy textures, or mystery breakouts.

We see you.

And we made something just for you.

At Flora Skinlab, we’re all about skincare that feels as good as it smells—and actually works for real, sensitive, over-it skin. So when it came to creating our new Kokum Body Butter, we skipped the usual shea and cocoa butter route and went with a gentler dream team: kokum and mango butter.

Here's why that decision matters for your skin.

Not All Butters Are Created Equal

Shea and cocoa butter are skincare staples—but they’re also rich, heavy, and can be a little extra for sensitive or acne-prone skin. If you’ve ever felt greasy or broken out after using a body butter, these might be the culprits.

Kokum and mango butter, on the other hand?
Lightweight. Nourishing. And so gentle, your skin will breathe a sigh of relief.

Kokum Butter: Lightweight + Repairing

  • Rich in antioxidants and vitamin E
  • Helps heal dry, damaged, or inflamed skin
  • Strengthens your skin barrier (aka your body’s natural armor)
  • Absorbs quickly—no sticky aftermath

Perfect for moms with zero time to air-dry, and anyone who hates that “just lotioned” feeling on their clothes.


Mango Butter: Vitamin-Packed & Glow-Boosting

  • Full of vitamins A, C, and E = anti-aging superstars
  • Supports collagen, elasticity, and skin regeneration
  • Calms redness + irritation while giving you that juicy-skin glow

Bonus: It smells like summer even when it’s chaos outside.

Why This Combo Is Everything Sensitive Skin Needs

Together, kokum and mango butter:

  • Lock in deep, long-lasting moisture
  • Soften rough patches without clogging pores
  • Calm cranky skin
  • Leave you feeling smooth, not sticky

And because they’re non-comedogenic, even acne-prone or eczema-prone skin can enjoy the glow without the gamble.


Why You’ll Love It (and Why Your Skin Will Love You Back)

You’re not here for just “moisturized.”
You want skin that feels cared for. Calm. Comfortable.

Our Kokum Body Butter was made for the woman who:

  • Doesn’t have time for a 12-step routine
  • Needs real results with clean, nourishing ingredients
  • Deserves to feel like a goddess—even during carline chaos

Whipped. Fast-absorbing. Smells like self-care in a jar.
