Cleveland Makers: Pamper Yourself with Botanixx's Strawberry Shortcake Body Butter

The sweet-smelling, strawberry shortcake body butter ($24 for 4 ounces) from Botanixx will make anyone feel pampered from head to toe. Each batch of body butter is hand-whipped with natural ingredients, starting with a base of shea, mango and cocoa butters. “I try to think of personality types when I create fragrances with the body butters or soaps,” says owner Andrea Oliver. “I think the strawberry shortcake is more hip, and just more hip for women who are considering themselves to be chill, cool, breezy.” The thick moisturizer is non-greasy and rich in hydration, making it perfect for chapped skin on the heels and feet due to extreme heat or cold. With no synthetic fillers or chemicals, the naturally derived fragrances from strawberry and vanilla create a combination that is light and airy. As an extra eco-friendly bonus, every item is wrapped in recycled packaging. “[It’s important] to have a clean lifestyle when it comes to bath and body and skin care,” says Oliver. botanixx.co
