When I come across a small business that combines genuine care, natural ingredients, and results that speak for themselves, I have to share. Heal Your Body Butter is one of those rare finds. Handcrafted in small batches by a mom of nine, Amy James, this body butter was never meant to become a business—it began with a mom simply trying to heal her skin and her children’s.
Twelve years ago, when her third baby was born, she was desperate for something to ease the pain of nursing. A tiny jar of store-bought nipple balm helped—but the price tag didn’t. That was the start of her journey into natural skincare, experimenting with the same nourishing ingredients that had helped her stretch marks and dry skin during pregnancy.
What started as a homemade gift for friends and family became something much more powerful: a healing balm that helped with everything from eczema and diaper rash to dry hands and irritated skin. After a decade of refining the recipe and seeing how much people relied on it, Heal Your Body Butter was born.
What Makes This Body Butter Different
This isn’t your average whipped body butter—and it’s not trying to be. Amy uses a melt-and-pour method that reduces waste and ensures the rich, creamy texture sinks into the skin without leaving a greasy film. And the ingredients are as pure as they come:
- Grass-fed beef tallow
- Beeswax
- Shea, cocoa, and mango butters
- Olive oil and coconut oil
- Optional: frankincense essential oil
There are no fillers, no synthetic fragrances, and no trendy ingredients just for marketing’s sake. If you have sensitive skin (like I do), you’ll appreciate how gentle this formula is. Custom, allergy-friendly batches are also available upon request; specifically crafted without ingredients that you may be sensitive to.
Many tallow-based butters need essential oils to cover up the scent, but this one smells lovely on its own, clean, natural, and subtle.
A Business Rooted in Care and Faith
What stands out most about Heal Your Body Butter isn’t just the quality of the product; it’s the mission behind it. Amy prays over each batch, asking for the person who receives it to experience healing. She’s given jars away at ministry events, where one act of generosity opened the door to lasting friendships and even deeper ministry.
While many handmade body butters on the market are priced between $80–$100 (and often whipped to look like more product than you’re really getting), Heal Your Body Butter stays affordable and honest. It’s clear this business is about helping people, not maximizing profit.
Behind the Name
The name “Heal Your Body Butter” came to Amy during a season of life filled with babies and big emotions. Though she can’t pinpoint the exact moment it came to her, the meaning is simple and profound: we can heal the “icky stuff” naturally, with what God has already given us. No frills. No harsh chemicals. Just simple, effective care.
My Experience
I’ve been using this body butter for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most nourishing products I’ve tried. Most surprisingly, it has helped my endlessly dry feet, healing the cracks in my heels. A little goes a long way, and it melts right into the skin without feeling heavy. Definitely use sparingly! This product should last you a good amount of time.
