Whilst growing up as a young Caribbean-American girl, I've had the privilege of being exposed to many natural 'do it yourself' concoctions being made in my grandmother's kitchen as remedies for skin, hair and health- whether it was a coconut oil and camphor mixture to sap your head with for a fever or oiling your hair down with cocoa butter and coconut oil to keep it shiny and thick- as grandma continues to say. The act of whipping together my own skin and body care routines was nothing new- so it seems, I've been doing it for most of my life. Because of this, I've developed a fond appreciation for more natural and holistic means of caring for myself in all aspects- mentally, physically and spiritually.
Mind, Body and Soul.
Knowing and understanding what I use on my skin has become extremely important, as for the majority of life I've had to deal hyperpigmentation, textural and moisture issues as a person with sensitive skin. I'd hop from doctors to dermatologists, left and right, only to come back to the beautiful basics of nature I grew up with.
One day, I decided to whip up some body butter using some of my family's cocoa and shea butters we had in the back of our cabinet. And boom. It happened.
These butters help me radiate the love that has formed these remedies in their own state of nature, which is what I strive to share with all of you.
We are all thriving naturally in our own unique state of being- in our own state of nature. It's about time we know what we're using on our bodies, with ingredients we can actually read rather than mysterious ones we don't understand. We keep it plain, simple and bare (and also ethically sourced, duh).
Hence, Bare Butter.
Thank you for your time and being apart of this soul project with me.
With love,
