Shea Butter: Due to its high concentration of fatty acids and vitamins, it increases the skin's moisture and helps to protect it from environmental free radicals. .
Vitamin E Oil: Provides antioxidant properties that reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Cocoa Butter: Smooths skin, reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and signs of aging.
Why We Love It It’s amazing how fast this body butter absorbs into skin without leaving any residue! And for some of us, shea butter instantly takes us back to our childhoods when our mothers used shea butter as an all-around remedy. It’s an unimaginable feeling to have a little piece of home wherever you go. Plus, it’s even safe enough to use on babies!
How To Use It After cleansing your skin, apply a small to moderate amount and massage into the skin until it’s completely absorbed. Can also be used as a relief for sunburn, on hair to seal in moisture, and as a conditioner for lips and cuticles.
What To Know Many of the ingredients found in this body butter are hypoallergenic, making it suitable for all skin types. It also has a rich creamy consistency which is great for those bitter winter months, but you’ll want to go the less-is-more route once spring and summer roll around. In winter, the butter does get a bit harder than usual. All you have to do is take a small scoop in the palm of your hands and warm it up by working it in a slow circular motion.
What Makes It Green This body butter, as well as all products handcrafted by Ilera Apothecary, is made using 100% organic, nutrient-rich ingredients to give you a new level of hydration and moisture without any of the toxic chemicals.
Perfect For Combination, Dry, Oily, and Mature Skin Types. All Hair Types.

Our Wellness, Our Way: Founder Reflection
Wellness has never been one-size-fits-all—and for too long, the wellness industry ignored the needs, voices, and brilliance of Black women. When I founded BLK + GRN, I wasn’t just building a marketplace; I was building a movement rooted in trust, transparency, and true healing. This space is my way of sharing what I’m learning, questioning, and celebrating as I walk this path alongside you. From the beauty of non-toxic living to the complexity of conscious entrepreneurship, this is where I’ll reflect openly, honestly, and always in alignment with our wellness—our way.
