Cocoa Ration Body Butter by English Rose Cosmetics
This divine Body Butter was created by a newly launched exquisite skincare brand, English Rose Cosmetics. It leaves skin velvet soft and lightly scented with a sweet vanilla aroma.
Karin McKay, the founder of this exciting new brand, shared with us the benefits of body butters: “They are typically rich in natural butter i.e. Cocoa and Shea, which are solid at room temperature but melt into the skin on application. They are highly skin compliant, deeply nourishing and work amazingly well to calm sensitive, winter-struck skin.” She continues, “I’ve also used Avocado oil for its properties to protect the skin and repair climatic damage. My body butter is supremely rich and is best applied in little dots to the dry areas and hand blended to get an even coverage.”
Cocoa Ration butter comes in a jar with a retro style aluminium lid and stands out thanks to its romantic 1940s inspired emblem – a fabulous gift for fans of vintage and retro!
£10.00 for 200ml
