Body Butter for Dry & Sensitive Skin: Yaye’s Aboriginal Skincare Ritual
Whether you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or love feeling like your best, buttered-up self, a quality body butter is your skincare BFF. And at Yaye, we don’t do average. Our rich body butter formulas are handcrafted using traditional bush medicine, luxurious shea butter, and native Australian ingredients to give your skin that healthy, hydrated glow.
But with so many options, how do you choose the right one? Let's dive into Yaye’s Body Butter Range, explore key ingredients like natural shea butter, velvety cocoa butter, and learn why we’re the go-to for clean skin care lovers.
Why Yaye Body Butters Stand Out
- 100% Aboriginal-owned & operated
- Vegan & cruelty-free skincare
- Made in Australia with native bush botanicals
- Designed for ultra-dry skin, sensitive skin, and everything in between
- Packed with shea butter products that deliver heavy-duty moisture without the nasties
There are no harsh chemicals or fillers. It's skin-softening moisture that feels indulgent, smells divine, and works.
The Star Ingredients in Yaye Body Butters
✨ Shea Butter Multi-tasking Magic Known as a skincare hero, shea butter helps with skin elasticity, smoothing texture, and locking in moisture for up to 72hr skin hydration.
✨ Velvety Cocoa Butter A deliciously decadent addition that delivers intense hydration and a smooth body butter texture that melts into skin.
✨ Native Botanicals from Berrigan to White Cypress, we honour Aboriginal plant wisdom by infusing each butter with native ingredients.
Our Body Butter Line-Up
1. Berrigan Body Butter
- Best for: Ultra-dry skin, mature skin, and skin needing a reboot
- Texture: Ultra-rich and nourishing
- Scent: Earthy, lightly fruity with a subtle native flair
This indulgent butter uses Utnerrenge (Berrigan) to treat flaky, rough, or tired skin. It is excellent for boosting elasticity and reviving a dull texture.
"My skin was so parched, and this brought it back to life in a week. It's my go-to during winter." – Sarah, VIC
2. White Cypress & Lily Body Butter
- Best for: Sensitive skin, itchy skin, or irritated skin
- Texture: Smooth and calming, lightweight yet effective
- Scent: Soft floral scent with calming undertones
Blended with Irlweke (White Cypress) and native lily, this butter is the hug your skin deserves. It's free from harshness, making it perfect for reactive skin types.
"This is the only product that soothes my skin after being in the sun all day." – Marlee, NT
3. Native Silky Lemongrass & Lime Body Butter
- Best for: Normal to dry skin, mood-boosting mornings
- Texture: Lighter, melts in fast
- Scent: Crisp, natural fragrance with a citrus twist
With Aherre-Aherre (Silky Lemongrass), this is your wake-up butter. Bright, refreshing, and energising, this scent becomes your signature scent.
"I use this every morning after my shower. The smell is next-level! It’s my new favourite fragrance." – Jess, NSW.
Why It Works for All Skin Types
Whether you have mature skin, oily and acne-prone skin, or just dry patches on your elbows and knees, Yaye’s body butters are formulated for every skin type. Plus, they support your skin barrier and work beautifully on parched skin, combination skin, and even single skin type needs.
It’s like a hug for your skin – nourishing, healing, and long-lasting.
Body Butter or Body Lotion? Here’s the Deal
Body lotion is excellent for a light layer. But when your skin screams for hydration, a body butter locks in moisture and delivers that smooth feeling we all crave.
Plus, Yaye butters are made for layering. Apply after a warm shower while skin is still damp – you’ll notice the difference instantly.
Want to DIY? Here’s What to Know About Body Butter Recipes
While plenty of homemade body butter or body butter recipe ideas are available online, crafting the perfect formula is more than shea and cocoa butter. It’s about balance, native wisdom, and knowledge of skin conditions.
That’s why Yaye blends ancient bush medicine with modern science – so you don’t have to experiment to find what works.
