Three Body-Buttering Add-Ins Now Available!

From the sun's rays to air-conditioning overload, summertime can really dry you out! So, for a limited time this summer, we've adding three super-moisturizing new add-ins to The Mad Optimist mix—mango butter, shea butter, and cocoa butter!

Read on below to find out more about these slippery substances and peruse some skin-drenching new recipes, too!

First up: Mango Butter!

Mango Butter is derived from the seeds of the mango tree (Mangifera indica) that originally comes from the Indian subcontinent. The mango butter we use is unscented, so it blends well with any combo of essential oils. Mango butter adds a fantastic amount of moisturization and emollient properties—and is great for your hair, so it works great for shampoo bars as well!

This mango-mazing shampoo bar will quench your luscious locks, not to mention hair and scalp-soothing rosemary and tea tree essential oils!

• 2 parts rosemary
• 2 parts tea tree
• 3 parts unscented mango butter

Next up: Shea Butter!

The uber-famous Shea Butter is made from the fruit seeds from Butyrospermum parkii, a small tree from the Central African savannah. We only use natural, unrefined shea butter, which is super soft, and has the natural light smoky scent of the shea seed. Shea butter is silky smooth and astoundingly moisturizing, soothing, and nourishing for face, hair, and body.

This shea-mazing facial bar will cleanse, moisturize, and gently drench your skin!

• 2 parts lavender
• 1 part geranium

Last but not least: Cocoa Butter!

Cocoa Butter comes from the seeds of the chocolate plant: Theobroma cacao, a small evergreen tree native to tropical regions of the Americas. Cocoa butter is super creamy and moisturizing, AND adds a hint of a chocolatey scent!

This cocoa-mint combo is fresh, lightly chocolately, and super creamy for your skin!
