Body Butters vs Lotions

Ever wonder what the difference is?

Water!  the difference is that lotions usually contain about 80% water and the rest is oils/butters that are emulsified (bonded), while butters are 100% oils/butters and do not contain water. 

While that has its own set of benefits it is important to keep in mind and to check the label as I have seen commercial Body Butters with water(aqua) in the ingredient list.  In other words..

That was a lotion.
