Bookkeeper's Butter Intense Hand and Cuticle Salve with Lavender & Peppermint Essential Oils
Product Description
Bookkeeper's Butter Intense Hand and Cuticle Salve
Having worked as a book seller back in the proverbial day, I know all too keenly the havoc a paper-based job can have on one's hands. It sucks the moisture out of your skin, leaving your fingers raw, cracked, and downright miserable. Accountants, librarians, archivists, graduate students, fellow book sellers... this one's for you.
Bookkeeper's Butter to the rescue! Packed with nourishing shea butter & a panoply of skin-pampering oils, Bookkeeper's Butter is an intense hand & cuticle treatment for desperate times. I selected a very specific range of oils for maximum absorption speed, meaning Bookkeeper's Butter won't leave you stuck with greasy fingers when you need to get back to work. Gently scented with soothing lavender & peppermint essential oils, a little Bookkeeper's Butter goes a really long way - just a tiny dab massaged into dry, cracked skin & cuticles provides instant, non-greasy moisture. It can also pull double-duty as an intense lip balm. The jar might seem small, but it will go the distance! This particular formulation is vegan-friendly, using plant-based candelilla wax & no preservatives. The vitamin E oil will protect against oxidation, but please, keep Bookkeeper's Butter away from excess heat, & be sure to use dry clean hands to apply.
This listing is for a dense 1.8 ounces of Bookkeeper's Butter, blended by hand in small batches with no SLS/SLES, parabens, propylene glycol, -cones, animal products, coconut oil or synthetic fragrance oils. I pack Bookkeeper's Butter in a recyclable plastic jar, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:
Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Butter, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Persea Americana (Avocado) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Mentha Piperata (Peppermint) Oil
Butter up, buttercup!

Great feeling
Posted by Grecia R on Nov 28th 2023
This stuff is so nice and starts working right away. I'm still trying to figure out the balance between too little so my skin immediately absorbs it and too much where it takes a little while to get absorbed by my skin. It does have a distinctly herbal minty sort of smell for sure, which is what I would expect, but it's not overpoweringly strong like I've experienced with other products with similar ingredients. I absolutely agree with everyone who cautions that a little bit goes a long way here. The first time I used it, I absolutely over-applied. Would definitely get again.

This salve rubs in very quickly and soothes dry skin that I get from cold weather and handling boxes every day. And it smells amazing!

Heavy duty balm
Posted by Sophia on Jun 16th 2021
Oh man, this is good stuff! I'm going to save this for fall/winter or bedtime though because it's seriously really heavy duty. The peppermint is also pretty strong so be aware if you're wearing it around others!

Soothing balm
Posted by A Librarian on May 18th 2021
My hands and fingers get dried out and my cuticles get ragged so I'm always looking for heavy duty balms to put on them at night. This feels and smells great, and is excellent for smoothing onto your hands at bedtime.

I love this product!
Posted by Britani on Mar 25th 2021
I handle books all day, this is one of the best products I have found to keep my hands from drying out. It also works great for muscle aches and pains, I get aches from sleeping wrong quite often, and massaging this into the area really helps it quit hurting! 10/5 stars!

Works amazingly!

This works even after my hands have dried, which one can't say of every hand lotion, and the smell is divine.
