The whipped texture is probably the best part about this body butter. It feels rich enough for dry skin but doesn't have that dense, heavy feeling that some body butters are known for. The warm tropical scent is another reason it's become so popular.

Few body butters have stayed this popular for so many years. Shea butter and coconut oil work together to deeply moisturize dry skin while giving it that classic coconut scent that's clean rather than overly sugary. 

The texture is rich and buttery at first, then slowly melts with body heat as you massage it in. It creates a protective layer that helps skin stay soft for hours without feeling overly waxy.
