Palm Melts vs. Lotion vs. Body Butter Tubs

Lotion, body butter and Palm Melts all moisturize, but they are not the same thing.

Moisturizer Showdown

	Palm Melts	Lotion	Tub Butter
Texture	Crushable cube	Light, pourable	Thick, scooped
Water	None	Usually water-based	Varies
Preservatives	Not needed	Typically required	Depends
Feel	Rich, silky	Fast-absorbing	Rich, heavy
Best for	Dry spots, gifting	All-over daily	Winter dryness

Why water-free matters

Palm Melts contain no water, which is why they do not need the preservatives found in most lotions. See our Ingredients page.

The honest take

For a quick all-over lotion, use a lotion. For a rich, fragrant treat for dry areas that melts with the warmth of your hands, Palm Melts are our favourite. Many customers use both.
