SOS for Skin – The Search for Real Oils in Body Creams
The People want their oil back
Aye, We hear ya!
When we decided on the ingredients for our body creams, we did so understanding what the market was missing from most body butters out there. They’re packed with thickeners, silicones, and waxes that make your skin look shiny and greasy but don’t offer any real conditioning. We couldn't help but wonder, "How is the customer getting any true hydration?"
Well, at SoapLife360, we believed the perfect amount of hydration and deep conditioning comes from using generous amounts of premium oils and hydrants. So, your skin will be truly moisturized and not just appear greasy or shiny. Then we lock it in with organic raw Ghanaian Shea butter that’s unrefined, ensuring you get all of its benefits. It’s a smooth, deep conditioning body cream that resembles a face cream and acts like butter.
The First Ten Ingredients Matter
It’s important to know that the first ten ingredients in any skincare product make up the majority of the formula. Let’s take a look at a typical and very popular body cream compared to SoapLife360’s Like Butter Shea Cream.

The Problem with Common Body Creams
Quite a mouthful, right? With all those synthetic ingredients, artificial dyes, and silicones, how much actual conditioning is happening? We think not much.
And that’s just the beginning. Our competitor’s body cream has a whopping 24 more ingredients to go! Synthetic fillers, artificial fragrances, and dyes dominate the list. How much of that is actually benefiting your skin?
"They Not Like Us!"
Now, let’s talk about our ingredients. Notice something? No artificial dyes. No artificial fragrances. No silicones. We use real oils and hydrants to condition the skin from the inside out.
Decadent Oils: Squalane, Tamanu, and Jojoba
Let’s showcase our star ingredients and their benefits:
Squalane Oil
Derived from olives, Squalane is a natural moisturizer that mimics your skin’s natural oils. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for all skin types. It penetrates deep into the skin, providing instant hydration and locking in moisture.
Tamanu Oil
This wonder oil from the Tamanu tree is known for its incredible healing properties. It’s rich in fatty acids and has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. It helps regenerate skin, making it perfect for dry, flaky, or damaged skin.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a fantastic natural conditioner. It’s similar to the natural sebum produced by our skin, making it an excellent moisturizer. It’s also packed with Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins, which help in skin repair and damage control.
Why Hardly Anyone Uses Real Oils in Their Body Creams
Most body creams and butters out there rely on synthetic fillers and low-quality oils because they’re cheaper and have a longer shelf life. But at what cost to your skin? Our Like Butter Shea Cream is different because we prioritize quality over quantity. We use high-quality, natural oils that provide genuine hydration and deep conditioning.
This is Not a Call Out but a Call In
Skincare companies should produce products that get to the root of skin needs and not just cover them up. Our Like Butter Shea Cream is a luxurious, deep-conditioning experience for your skin. It’s formulated to penetrate deeply, providing long-lasting hydration and nourishment. Your skin will thank you for choosing real, premium ingredients that offer true benefits.
Stay smooth and deeply conditioned,
