From Kitchen Experiments to Community Favorites: The Butterè Skin Journey
Share
I didn’t plan to build a skincare brand. I planned to feel comfortable in my own skin. Years of dermatitis and dryness pushed me into late-night mixing sessions—tiny scales, glass bowls, and a notebook full of “almosts.” The goal was simple: a butter that hugged the skin without smothering it, soothed without sting, and looked as luxurious as it felt.
Those kitchen experiments became Butterè Skin.
The First Batch That Changed Everything
I’ll never forget the morning my hands didn’t burn. After dozens of trials, I landed on a plush blend of butter + oil that melted in fast and kept working all day. I wrote three words in the margin of my notebook—soft, calm, breathable—and circled them. That became our north star.
💛 Butter-rich, never heavy — shea for deep comfort, mango for the satin finish, avocado for plush glide
💛 Lightweight oils that balance — camellia & hemp seed so skin feels nourished, not greasy
💛 Soothers on standby — aloe, panthenol, and colloidal oatmeal for that “ahh” calm
From One Jar to a Community
I started sharing small batches with family and friends. Then friends of friends. Notes poured in—“my winter itch stopped,” “it doesn’t sting,” “my partner keeps stealing mine.” I tracked every comment, tweaked textures by half-percents, and learned what made our formulas feel like keepers.
💛 The 60/40 sweet spot: more butter than oil for cushion without slick
💛 Texture engineering: a touch of fatty alcohol for velvety slip
💛 Barrier-first choices: gentle preservatives, clear labels, and unscented options for sensitive skin
The Sincerely Collections
As I perfected the base, I kept writing little reminders to myself—be gentle, keep your promises, choose simple. That’s how the Sincerely lines were born:
💛 Sincerely, Skin — our core unscented heroes for everyday comfort
💛 Sincerely, Her — soft, elegant scent stories layered onto the sensitive-skin base
💛 Sincerely, Him — clean, confident profiles with the same barrier-first formula
Every jar is a love note to your skin—sincere, minimal, effective.
Craft Over Hype
We’re small-batch on purpose. That means fresh ingredients, meticulous QC, and textures we can stand behind. It also means choosing packaging that balances luxury with real life—glass when we can, durable lightweight jars when it’s safer for shipping (and your bathroom floor).
💛 Ingredient integrity — each one has a job; no filler, no fluff
💛 Transparent labels — plain-language benefits you can understand at a glance
💛 Gentle by design — nut-free variations and fragrance-free options for sensitive routines
What Makes a Community Favorite?
A community favorite isn’t just pretty on a shelf—it’s the one you reach for without thinking. For our community, it’s the way the butter disappears into damp skin, the way tightness fades by lunchtime, and the way elbows, shins, and hands stay soft even in February.
💛 Results you can feel in 60 seconds—softness without slip
💛 Ritual you’ll keep—quick, comforting, and consistent
💛 Trust that lasts—barrier-first formulas that play well with sensitive, eczema-prone skin
How to Get the Butterè Glow (in 3 steps)
💛 Soak & seal: after a lukewarm shower, pat dry and apply while skin is still damp
💛 Target & top: add a balm to knuckles, heels, or any stubborn rough patch
💛 Repeat nightly: small, steady habits > once-a-week slathering

A Note from Tenisha
Butterè Skin grew from a simple wish: relief that feels luxurious. Thank you for turning my kitchen trials into a movement of soft, comfortable, seen skin. Here’s to jars that work hard, routines that feel good, and a community that chooses gentle on purpose.
With love,
