Review – Baby Butz 100% Natural Cream

January 22, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 13 Comments

product1

We were invited to review this Baby Butz cream but unless I can convince my aching body, leaking bladder and overworked husband that having another child is a good idea then there are no butz in this house younger than 5. However we do have a few different skin issues especially with my youngest who appears to be more like mummy when it comes to allergies than the poor little boy should be.

They day this cream arrived by daughter decided she had to use it straight away. Now in the past few weeks my daughters hands have become dry, but not dry from lack of moisture. You she Santa brought her a jar of body whip  and  she has been putting  it on daily , in fact she has been putting it on so much (cheap moisturizer it smells like strawberries and chemicals) that I have started to become concerned with just how often she “needs” to have it on. (Keeping my eye on this).

To cut a long story short-  she likes putting on creams and has even been putting cream behind my ears daily (apparently I can’t reach) since I broke out in a rash from a new pair of sunglasses I got for Christmas (damn Santa was harsh to us).  Armed with her new cream she went around the house looking for patients to cure. First she popped it onto her brother who had a mosquito bite on his wrist that had flared up to the size of a large grape.  Within 30 mins it had gone after applying the cream.  Next patient was her father who’s ethnic skin was fondly known to resemble Crocodile scales. The cream is very thick so he may have been over treated as he came out of his office with legs and elbows as white as , well as white as mine.

So what makes it so special? Well I wish I could provide you with a long list of ingredients that make it wonderful but it actually only has 4, yes just 4 natural ingredients.  Zinc, lanolin, petrolatum and starch. 

So basically we really loved the cream and it will be staying in our medical kit should any chaffing or bites or cracked skin comes our way.

RRP $7.99

We loved it so much that we are going to share the love and give away 1 jar to 1 lucky reader. For your chance to win simply tell us why your butz need this and which country you are from in a comment below.

Competition closes on the 1st of February.

Open Worldwide.

    EVERYTHING makes my daughter break out, even though her poor skin is so dry. I would love to try this cream and see if it works. Sounds like it just might.

    For years, I have been battling with dry skin on my hands. It gets so dry, that the skin around my nails begins to split, and it gets very painful. No matter what I use, it never helps, and the vicious cycle continues. Sometimes it does the same thing on my feet as well. Hopefully this can help me. I’m at my wits’ end!! I live in the US.

    We heat with wood which tends to dry my skin. I am also older and have the issue of cracked heels. I like the idea that this is a cream and not a lotion and only contains 4 ingredients. Way to go. I am in the USA

How to Make Your Own Lush-Inspired Massage Bar at Home

Looking to recreate the magic of a Lush massage bar at home? You’re not alone. These creamy, solid lotion bars have gained cult status for their ability to melt on skin, deliver deep moisture, and add a touch of indulgence to your daily routine. But did you know you can easily make your own version at home with natural ingredients?

Whether you’re whipping up a batch for a self-care stash, gifts for friends, or a cheeky couples’ night in, this DIY massage bar recipe is simple, budget-friendly, and completely customizable.

Let’s dive into making your very own Lush massage bar dupe—complete with skin-loving butters, essential oils, and that melt-on-contact magic.

Why You’ll Love This DIY Massage Bar

Forget flimsy lotion—this bar means business. Once you glide it across your skin, it begins to melt just slightly, releasing nourishing oils and soothing scents. No mess, no pump, no preservatives. Just pure, skin-friendly ingredients that feel like a mini spa experience.

It’s:

  • Perfect for dry, mature skin (hello elbows and heels!)

  • Travel-friendly and non-leaky

  • Great for couples’ massage or bedtime rituals

  • Free from synthetic additives or preservatives

Key Ingredients for That “Lush” Feel

Here’s what gives this DIY bar its silky, spa-like texture:

  • Cocoa Butter: The backbone of your massage bar—firm at room temp, but melts at body temperature.

  • Shea Butter: Adds creaminess and deep nourishment, especially for dry or sensitive skin.

  • Beeswax (or vegan wax alternative): Helps the bar hold its shape and adds a protective layer on the skin.

  • Sweet Almond Oil or Jojoba Oil: Lightweight carrier oils that soak in beautifully.

  • Essential Oils: Choose relaxing lavender, sensual ylang-ylang, calming chamomile, or zingy peppermint—whatever suits your mood.

  • Optional: Rose petals, gold mica, or dried herbs for a visual wow-factor.

DIY Lush Massage Bar Recipe

Makes 3–4 small bars or 1–2 large ones depending on mold size.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup cocoa butter

  • ¼ cup shea butter

  • 2 tbsp beeswax

  • 2 tbsp sweet almond oil (or jojoba oil)

  • 15–20 drops of essential oil (I love lavender + orange for a relaxing mix)

  • Optional: a pinch of shimmer mica powder or dried petals

Tools:

  • Silicone mold or ice cube tray

  • Heat-safe measuring cup or bowl

  • Double boiler or saucepan method

  • Stirring spoon or skewer

Instructions:

  1. Melt the base ingredients
    In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl over simmering water, combine cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax, and sweet almond oil. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and add fragrance
    Take the mixture off the heat and let it cool for about 1–2 minutes (you don’t want to burn off the essential oils). Add your essential oils and mica or petals now. Stir well.
  3. Pour into molds
    Carefully pour the mixture into your silicone molds. If you’re using petals or herbs, sprinkle them in the mold first for a pretty top layer.
  4. Let set completely
    Allow the bars to cool and harden at room temperature for a few hours, or pop them into the fridge for faster setting.
  5. Pop out and store
    Once fully set, pop the bars out and store in a cool, dry place in a tin or glass jar.

How to Use Your Massage Bar

Hold the bar in your hands until it starts to melt just a little. Then glide it directly over skin—or warm it up first in your palms. Use after a shower, during a massage, or even on dry winter hands and feet before bed. A little goes a long way!

Pro tip: Keep one in your bedside drawer and another in the bathroom for everyday use.

 

Make It Your Own

Once you’ve made one batch, it’s hard to stop. Try these variations:

  • Calming: Chamomile + vanilla essential oil with calendula petals

  • Energizing: Citrus blend with grapefruit, bergamot + peppermint

  • Romantic: Rose absolute + ylang-ylang with dried rosebuds

You can even experiment with adding CBD oil (up to ½ tsp per batch) for a luxe therapeutic effect—just make sure it’s body-safe and legal in your area.

Once you try this Lush massage bar dupe, you’ll wonder why you ever paid retail prices. Not only are these homemade bars more affordable, but they’re also kinder to your skin—and the planet. With zero packaging waste and total ingredient control, it’s a DIY win all around.

Whether you’re soothing sore muscles, winding down for the night, or sneaking in a little self-care between loads of laundry, this bar delivers spa-day energy in the palm of your hand.
