šŸ¤Ž I had such an amazing time this past Saturday at the HUE Affair. It was great meeting so many new faces and introducing our new body serum. Special shout out to my mama who held it down with me!

Lots of fun things happening at B&L starting with the launch of our new body serum this month. Stay tuned šŸ¤Ž

New product alert 🌿

Tomorrow 5/30 at The HUE Affair, I’ll be bringing something special with me: fresh eucalyptus bundles for the shower.

Hang a bundle from your showerhead and let the steam release the natural aroma as you get ready for the day. It’s one of my favorite simple rituals and I’m excited to finally share it with you.

I will also be bringing a very special secret new product to soft launch at the event. I’m so excited to finally share it with you 🄰

These will only be available at The HUE Affair tomorrow from 1–6 PM in Manhattan.

If you’ve been wanting to shop Butter & Lye in person, smell the soaps, ask questions, and see what’s new, I’d love to meet you.

Visit to get your tickets.

Hope to see you there šŸ¤Ž

Lavender Bliss 🌿

There’s a reason lavender has stayed around for centuries. People don’t just reach for it because it smells good. The compounds naturally found in lavender have been studied for their calming effects on the nervous system and their ability to help the body relax after stress.

I always notice how certain scents can completely change the feeling of a shower. Lavender turns my shower sesh into a moment. My shoulders drop a little and my mind gets quieter. My body finally stops feeling like it’s rushing from one thing to the next.

That’s what inspired this bar. A simple way to bring a little softness and calm into your routine while still giving your skin the rich, creamy cleanse B&L is known for.

Sometimes skincare is bigger than skincare. Sometimes it’s the only peaceful five minutes you get all day.

Our Purple Clay Face & Body Bar is made with lavender essential oil and a gentle clay blend that leaves skin feeling soft, fresh, and reset after a long day. Check it out today using the link in bio šŸ’œšŸ’œšŸ’œ

What started as a personal solution is now EWG VerifiedĀ®

Turmeric has been part of my skincare journey for years, especially when I was trying to fade the dark marks left behind from breakouts. At one point, my routine became incredibly simple. I used this soap consistently, a turmeric and honey mask on the areas where I had discoloration, and a moisturizer.

After years of struggling with sensitive skin from constantly switching products every few weeks, I finally committed to a simpler, more natural routine.

Around 3 to 4 months in, I remember looking at my skin and realizing it was more even than it had been in years.
That experience shaped the way I chose ingredients for Butter & Lye.

Products that are safe and gentle enough to use everyday. A soap that cleanses thoroughly without leaving your skin feeling stripped or tight. Something that fits naturally into daily life while supporting softer, healthier-looking skin over time.

And honestly, I think that’s why people connect with our products so strongly.

The Turmeric Face & Body Bar became our bestselling soap for a reason. Customers come back because their skin feels different after using it consistently. Plus it’s third party tested and confirmed to be safe by EWG VerifiedĀ®.

If your skin has been feeling irritated, uneven, or just generally off lately, I really think our turmeric soap is a good place to start.

Somewhere along the way, skincare started feeling like homework.

To many steps. Constant switching. Buying products because someone online swore it would ā€œchange your skin.ā€ Half the time I’m stressed before I even wash my face.

I believe a good routine should fit into my life naturally. It should feel consistent and easy enough to maintain without needing a chart taped to my mirror.

That mindset changed the way I approached my skin and eventually the way I formulated Butter & Lye.

Most of the time, softer and healthier-looking skin comes from paying attention to a few well-made products you actually use consistently. Not just because they’re trending.

Honestly, your shower routine should probably feel more like a reset than another task on your to-do list.

If your current routine feels exhausting, this might be your sign to simplify it. Our products are the perfect place to start. Click the link in our bio for extra savings.

I’ve learned that half of preparing for an event is figuring out how to make a folding table feel like your brand.

I spent weeks hunting down displays on Etsy because I wanted pieces that felt warm, natural, and intentional. Things that actually feel like Butter & Lye. The tablecloth though? Amazon. Convenience wins especially when the event is around the corner.

It’s funny because people usually only see the finished setup, but there’s so much thought behind every little detail. The wood, textures, colors, heights, greenery. I wanted it to feel calm and inviting, like something you’d want to walk into and stay at for a while.

Next step is putting it all together.

Do you have soft rituals?

There’s something really underrated about having a moment that’s just yours. A few minutes before the world needs something from you. A warm cup of tea, an unrushed shower bath, or a few minutes of stillness and meditation will give you that feeling of being a person again before the day fully starts.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate. This moment is just for you.

When I’m thinking of new products to add to the line, it’s important that it supports these ā€œme momentsā€. Therefore our products range from unscented to lightly scented with essential oils and always made with skin supporting, natural ingredients.

I swear half of owning a business is sitting somewhere with a notebook trying to make the vision in your head make sense on paper 😭

Hit follow to tag along as I share how I bring these ideas to life!

Does your skin need a little moisture?

Our Rosehip Face & Body Bar was made for skin that’s been feeling dry, dull, tired, or just not quite right.

Rosehip is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins that help your skin feel soft and supple, which is why it became one of the star ingredients in this bar. I paired it with nourishing oils and butters for a rich satisfying lather that leaves your skin feeling more moisturized after the first use.

As with all of our products, you will not find any artificial fragrance, colorants, or ingredients added just for marketing claims.

Just a thoughtfully made bar designed to leave your skin feeling soft and cared for after every wash. Our rosehip soap is one of those bars people try once and suddenly can’t stop reordering šŸ¤Ž

You are ready to give your skincare a reset, so start with the Rosehip Bar. Available on our website now.
