WHY KIT CHOOSE IT FOR THE WOMB WELLNESS SHOP
"I've never met an Annmarie Skincare product that I'm not obsessed with... and this is my all time favorite. The sweet scent of palo santo met with the warming spices of cardamom, vetiver and nutmeg in the luscious shea and cocoa butters... it's a dream for my dry skin and spirit during harsh Maine winters."
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Indulge in a luxurious body treatment created to enhance your senses and enrich your skin. This exquisitely nourishing formula combines shea butter and cocoa butter to naturally soften skin, and oils like jojoba, kukui nut and macadamia for optimal, concentrated moisture. Finished with hand selected essential oils—palo santo, cardamom, vetiver and nutmeg—to warm your soul. This thick, luscious creation melts into skin and absorbs easily without feeling oily or greasy.
Please note: This product may melt in warm weather and is best kept in a cool environment. If melting occurs, do not refrigerate. Instead, mix the product slowly at room temperature, ideally near a fan or AC, and allow it to re-solidify. This will not affect the quality of the formula; it's simply the nature of a pure, all-natural butter made with no wax.
Sourcing Sustainably
The palo santo (Latin name, Bursera Graveolens) in this formulation is wildcrafted in Ecuador and sustainably harvested solely from fallen trees and branches. Annmarie sources specifically from a non-endangered species, not to be confused with Bulnesia Sarmientoi. Palo santo essential oil is extracted using vapor distillation, without the use of dangerous chemicals or solvents. This ensures a safe, eco-conscious approach without harming the land or destroying a single tree. We partner with a distributor who keeps a close relationship and connection to the family and with the local communities in Ecuador. They are committed to reforestation and giving back to the planet. Since 2008, Annmarie's partner has planted over 30,000 trees back into the area and continues to support farmworkers with a fair wage. Their partnership has become a relationship that provides a lasting livelihood for the coastal communities who gather and steward this “Holy Wood” from South America.

The Story
The experience of Annmarie's Palo Santo Body Butter is an exercise of self-love and blissful oblivion, all at once. It proves that pampering is pure relaxation while becoming a better version of yourself—in with the moisture, out with the tension. Have you ever placed your “me-time” on a pedestal?
Now’s the time to prize it, beauty: a moment alone is all about slow-care. Think of those brief respites that alchemically transform your tired, exhausted self into one poised to take on the world. You may just need a potion so pure in worldly formulation and ethical intention that it pairs perfectly with your own intuition —the inner voice that affirms how incredible you are.
Prepare for the rare transformation embodied by this seasonal, limited-edition Palo Santo Body Butter. It’s unquestionably enlivening, of course, but that’s a mere understatement: this luxurious body treatment boasts globally-sourced ingredients that nourish the soul and feed the skin.
It’s true. How about a luscious dose of vitamin-drenched shea butter for soothing limbs, or a delectable helping of fair-trade cocoa butter for all-over suppleness? They’re a duo of hydrating components that are light enough for any sensitivities, yet penetrative enough for stubborn dry spots... no matter how parched. Now that topical dryness is at an all-time high, what with winter and the way dry environs wreak havoc on glowy skin, bodily bliss should be a top priority… and nourishing nutrients should be the norm.
Ah, and Annmarie's Palo Santo Body Butter also boasts a rich tapestry of regional herbs selected for their high-performance properties as well as a kinship to their natural environment and the community that harvests them. We’ve finished this gorgeous body treatment with a bouquet of warming oils like cardamom, vetiver, and nutmeg—a breathtaking array of aromatherapy that is anchored by a hearty dose of palo santo.
We’re captivated by this sensory treasure. It is wildcrafted in Ecuador and sustainably harvested by a family that has planted over 30,000 trees back into the area over the last decade—and Annmarie's producer is a dear friend who visits the farm on a regular basis to ensure a lasting relationship with them and their land. The essential oil can only be extracted from dead trees and fallen branches using vapor distillation without the use of dangerous chemicals or solvents—and it’s all because you deserve the best, beauty.
Let it calm your heart and ground your soul: it enchants the senses and emboldens the spirit during those precious windows of post-shower self-care. You’ve earned that.
