Bookkeeper's Butter Intense Hand and Cuticle Salve with Pink Grapefruit and Litsea Essential Oils
Product Description
Bookkeeper's Butter Intense Hand and Cuticle Salve - NEW lighter scent formula!
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 uplifting pink grapefruit & litsea 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), Litsea cubeba (Litsea) Oil, Citrus paradisi (Grapefruit) Oil
Butter up, buttercup!

grapefruit wins
Posted by ktea on Jan 12th 2026
smells just like tart grapefruit <3 works really well too, it's a bit on the oily side for my skin (it IS a butter and it does say it's an intense treatment) to use during the day, so i prefer to use this as a night time treatment before bed or as a spot treatment for my eczema patches! it has helped heal those up, i'm really pleased.

Best Butter!
Posted by Bella on Jan 13th 2025
I bought this last year, and I'm just about to finish it now! As someone who FREQUENTLY paints their nails, cuticle butter is an absolute must, and this is my favorite, out of all the ones I've ever tried. So moisturizing and lovely!

Small but mighty
Posted by Jess Flores on Dec 27th 2024
For a living, I help school aged children. My hands have started to dry from hand washing and handling paper. I decided to try bookkeeper's butter since paintbox makes wonderful products. This little jar has healed the dry patches on my hands in a few days. Plus, it smells wonderful too. Thank you, Paintbox!

Friends rave

I often give this as a small gift for friends. Everyone that has received it raves about how well it works on winter rough hands. I use it myself every night especially in the winter.

Finally, relief!
Posted by Kitty on Aug 18th 2020
I work in a grocery store. The non-stop cleaning and sanitizing have destroyed my hands. I've been tucking this little jar into my apron and applying it before putting on gloves. In only 3 days, there's been an amazing difference. All of the small cracks are gone and the larger ones are nearly healed. My hands are no longer bleeding all day. Plus it smells gorgeous. Crisp and clean but not over powering. I adore this stuff!

The Savior from Covid
Posted by Carla on Jun 3rd 2020
I have sensitive skin and the regular handwashing required because of Covid 19 had my hands cracking, ashy, and in pain. This is THE ONLY product that I can use daily without making the pain worse or my irritated skin break out. It actually absorbs, doesn't just leave a greasy layer like other high density softening products and it lasts through a couple of handwashes before I need to reapply. Smells great too!

Perfect

Perfect for dry, cracked hands. With the constant hand washing & harsh sanitizers, my hands are drier than ever. A little goes a long way without that greasy feeling many hand lotions leave behind. Smells wonderful!
