Trader Joe’s Fragrance-Free Body Butter Review
Trader Joe’s Fragrance-Free Body Butter ($5.49) is a new fragrance-free body butter that contains squalane and shea butter. It’s my go to for keeping fragrances long-wearing on my skin!
Everyone knows the most essential part of perfume application is ensuring you apply it to well hydrated skin. It just lasts longer if your skin is nice and moisturized. As much as I love a scented body cream sometimes ones in my collection don’t fit with the scent I am wearing. In that case, I’m reaching for my trusty Cerave Moisturizing Cream. It’s moisturizing, not sticky, and it helps keep my fragrance long-wearing.
I’ve replaced it with the new Trader Joe’s Fragrance-Free Body Butter. I finally scored this at my local TJs and was excited to try it as I heard some ravings about the formula. I was a little worried as my recent Trader Joe’s Shimmering Candy Cane Body Butter purchase didn’t turn out quite so great which made me concerned about trying any new body butters from TJ. But I took the chance and I’m somewhat glad I did.
This isn’t TJ’s best formula but it has two things going for it and that’s the fact it’s very moisturizing and it keeps my perfume long-wearing not to mention it’s fairly inexpensive at $5.49. I’d buy this again simply because it’s so hydrating. The formula is a bit thicker which doesn’t make it a miss because word of caution do apply it on damp skin as it does take a little bit to absorb fully. It’s not sticky, not tacky, but does take a hot flash of a second to sink in and just sort of sits around on top of your skin no matter how much your massage it in. Yes, that’s a pain but once it absorbs wow…wow…! It really leaves skin incredibly soft and smooth not to mention well protected. The skin on my elbows, arms, knees, and legs feels like silk. I had a little ski board/skiing trip for the New Year’s holiday and I had this packed in my bag and it literally keep my skin from getting chapped and dry. The fact it does absorb quickly as a pain in the butt but I’m willing to overlook that because it made my skin so smooth!
If you’re in need of a highly moisturizing fragrance-free body butter I’d totally recommend checking out Trader Joe’s Fragrance-Free Body Butter! It’s available now at Trader Joe’s stores.
