She sniffs her own wrist mid afternoon and feels her shoulders drop. Pound Cake is the comfort scent her customers keep coming back for. Vanilla, a whisper of lemon, the smell of a warm kitchen on a Sunday afternoon. It is soft sweet, not candy sweet, and it lingers just enough to make her feel a little more like herself by 3 pm.

I am Kay. So Buttery Skin started in my kitchen, which is fitting because Pound Cake is the most kitchen smelling thing we make. I created it after a long day of testing eczema formulas for my daughter, when I was craving something that just smelled good. Vanilla and a whisper of lemon, whipped by hand the way I make everything.

What is inside

The base is whipped shea butter, mango butter, avocado oil, and jojoba oil. That is it. We add vanilla and a hint of lemon for the scent. The shea is unrefined, the mango softens the heaviness of pure shea, the avocado feeds dry patches, and the jojoba helps everything absorb quickly without leaving a slick film. Eight ounces, plant based, made in small batches.

What it smells like

Warm bakery, vanilla forward, with a whisper of citrus. The smell of a slice of cake on a Sunday afternoon. It is built for comfort scent, hard day, the body butter you keep sniffing your own wrist for.

How to use it

After your shower, while your skin is still a little damp, scoop a small amount and warm it between your palms. Smooth it onto arms, legs, chest, and anywhere that runs dry. A small amount goes a long way. Use within twelve months of opening. Store at room temperature out of direct sun. Once your jar is low, grab a refill pouch to save on every reorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the scent too sweet?

It is bakery sweet rather than candy sweet. Most customers describe it as cozy and warm. The scent settles down quickly once it warms on your skin, so it never feels heavy.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

The base is the same plant based formula as the rest of our body butters. If your skin is very reactive, start with our Eczema Relief Body Butter first and add scents once your skin is calm.

Is this safe for eczema prone skin?

If you are in an active flare, start with our Eczema Relief Body Butter. Once skin is calm, this scent and our other gentle scents tend to work well. Patch test on the inside of your wrist first.

How long does an 8 ounce jar last?

With daily full body use, about six to eight weeks. With targeted spot use on hands, elbows, and dry patches, much longer.

Can I use this on my face?

We recommend our Face Collection for face. The body butter is rich and works best on the body and hands, where the skin is thicker.
