Please note that ingredient lists are sometimes subject to change from the manufacturer (especially when brands are making improvements!). We do our best at straål to keep the lists current. We cannot be held liable for changes between batches or changes without notice. Also note, as with many international brands, there can be formulation differences among geographic batches (there are many brands like this and is common practise); hence always important to check your packaging–at straål we generally verify per the packaging as well.
If you enjoy the Skin Food range and have dry skin, you'll love this very nourishing body butter especially on elbows, heels, hands and back.
