How do I Chose the Best Wholesale Body Butter?

Body butter is a thick cream used to moisturize and heal dry skin all over the body. It is typically thicker than traditional lotions and offers more protection against harsh weather and dryness. Wholesale body butter is provided by manufacturers at a lower price than you would expect to find at your local retailer. To find the best wholesale body butter for you, it is a good idea to shop around and experiment with various options.

To begin, locate wholesale retailers and browse through the body butters they have available. Read the ingredients on each one, along with the claims for what they do for the skin. Many wholesale body butters are name brand items. Therefore, if you like particular brand, you can start your search by trying that provider's body butter before any others.

The best way to find the right wholesale body butter is to choose options that target your symptoms or prevent the symptoms you want to avoid. If you have very dry skin, you will need a more healing butter than someone with average skin. You may also wish to find a body butter than contains no oil if you have oily skin or are prone to body acne.

Choose one type of body butter at a time, and use it for about a week. During that time, note any changes in your skin as well as how it feels during application. If you notice an improvement, you may not have to shop further. If you do not notice any positive changes, your symptoms get worse, or new symptoms appear; discontinue use.

You may have to experiment through trial and error a few different types of wholesale body butter before you find one that suits your needs. Remember, if you have very sensitive skin or are prone to allergic reactions, choose varieties that specifically say they are made for sensitive skin and are hypo-allergenic. This will help ensure that you do not develop any harsh side effects.

Read labels carefully. If you know that you are prone to severe allergic reactions, consult a doctor or dermatologist before trying new skin care products. He can help you pinpoint the ingredients that may be causing these reactions so you know which products to avoid. Only try one wholesale body butter at one time so pinpointing the source of an allergic reaction will be easier to do.

If you have already used a wholesale body butter and are experiencing severe itching, rash, or peeling; consult your doctor or dermatologist immediately. More severe allergic reactions may include shortness of breath or dizziness, and would warrant immediate emergency care. For milder reactions, wash the area with soap and warm water and discontinue use of the body butter.

Once you have determined that you do not have any allergies or skin sensitivities, you can begin sampling various body butters. To save on costs of trying different ones, contact the wholesaler or manufacturer and ask if they offer sample packs. These are small packages with one or two applications that you can use to determine if you like it. If you enjoy the samples, order the smallest available size of the full product try it on your skin as previously recommended.
