Description
Mother Daughter Sister Waterless Face and Body Butter
A rich, waterless face and body butter inspired by a nostalgic memory of a woman hiking a local mountain with her daughter and her two sisters during simpler times. Mother Daughter Sister Waterless Face and Body Butter was created for those frigid-weather hikes when skin needed a concentrated, comforting treat.
This sumptuous butter combines luxurious plant butters, nourishing botanical oils, beeswax, and carefully selected floral absolutes. Each ingredient brings something special to this rich, concentrated formula. Together, they create a soft, cushiony butter that melts beautifully into warm skin.
Because this is a waterless formula, a little goes a long way. Start with a very small amount, warm it between your fingertips, and gently massage it into your skin. The butter leaves skin feeling soft, conditioned, and protected from the drying feel of cold weather.
First, enjoy the rich combination of Illipe, Babassu, Bacuri, and Mango butters. Then, discover Cranberry, Jojoba, Sacha Inchi, Sweet Almond, Argan, and Seabuckthorn oils. Finally, breathe in a beautiful botanical blend of Helichrysum, Lavender, Patchouli, Frankincense, Bulgarian Rose, and Violet.
The result is an indulgent skin treat with a luxurious, botanical character. Moreover, its concentrated formula makes it especially appealing for dry-feeling face, hands, elbows, knees, feet, and other areas needing extra conditioning.
Bring a little of that mountain-memory feeling into your daily skincare ritual. Use sparingly and let this rich butter become part of your everyday self-care.
Mother Daughter Sister Butter Scent Profile
The scent opens with soft herbal and floral notes from Lavender and Helichrysum. Frankincense adds warm, resinous depth, while Patchouli contributes an earthy, grounding character. Bulgarian Rose Absolute brings an elegant floral heart, and Violet Leaf Absolute adds a delicate green, slightly sweet finish.
Overall, the aroma feels floral, earthy, herbal, warm, and quietly luxurious rather than heavily perfumed.
Mother Daughter Sister Butter Ingredients
- Organic Illipe Nut Butter (Shorea stenoptera)— A rich botanical butter traditionally valued in Southeast Asian skincare preparations. Its firm texture helps create a concentrated butter with a smooth, protective feel.

Black Castor Oil vs. Traditional Castor Oil
Black castor oil and traditional castor oil both come from Ricinus communis seeds, but processing methods can differ. Conventional castor oil is typically produced through pressing and refining the seeds.
Black castor oil generally refers to a darker oil produced through a different traditional processing method. The process involves roasting the seeds before extraction.
Both are distinct from black seed oil, which comes from Nigella sativa.

Love the hydration and fragrance. Brings me back to the 70’s
I’ve only been using this product for a couple of weeks. My face has felt dry before using it even though I was using another moisturizer. I switched to this product and now my skin feels so much better. Not greasy at all. Leaves a nice dewy feel. Not sure how it will be when summer comes as I tend to not need as much moisturizer but we will see. I use it on other areas of my body too. I really like this product.
A friend recommended me to this product. She had even given me a small sample to try first. It is amazing! It has helped with dry (winter) skin as well as a great product to use on wrinkles and crows feet.
Would recommend it?
One of my favorite body hitters ever. Goes on smoothly and smells amazing.
