Smells Like Paradise; Feels Like Regret
Happy Body Butter comes from Purelistic Health & Beauty, a brand that's been serving up natural goodness since 2006, thanks to founder Leticia Long.
Priced at $45,
this butter blends antioxidant-rich Sal Seed Butter with ultra-hydrating Shea Butter (with a mango twist),
both designed to soothe, smooth, and pamper your skin without the greasy aftermath.
Or so they say.
Purelistic prides itself on using ethically sourced, locally made ingredients, staying free of harmful chemicals, and putting sustainability and community support front and center.
They offer everything from soaps and scrubs to oils, shampoos, and skincare products—educating customers along the way about the perks of going natural.
Sounds like a dream, right?
Let me tell you, though… I've been fooled.
Purelistic, we seriously need to talk.
And I say this with all due respect... and a dash of disappointment.
I wanted to love your body butter—I did—but instead, I ended up questioning all my life choices as I stuck to my bedsheets like a human fly trap.
First off, the texture? Confusing. It went on like a sugar scrub that lost its identity halfway through puberty.
Hah…
I expected a smooth, luxurious melt-into-my-skin moment.
Still, instead, I got "greasy toddler who found the Vaseline" vibes.
And no, it didn't absorb. It sat there like an uninvited guest. I tried wiping it off, but this stuff was not about to break up with my skin.
Fast forward an hour and a half—I'm in bed, feeling like a buttered biscuit, but not in a cute way.
I almost got up to shower it off, but sheer exhaustion won that battle (Hey! My kids wear me out!).
So, I suffered for skincare.
Now, to be fair, the scent? A chef's kiss. Fresh papaya with a flirt of shea and mango butter—it was tropical vacation-level delicious. Even my husband commented on how good I smelled (Gosh, I love him). But let's be real—I wouldn't have him test this body butter.
To end on a positive note, shoutout to Purelistic for its environmental sustainability. I'll always support the planet, even if I can't support this product on my skin.
I’m sorry, but…
It's gonna be an
IMBHell-nO.
