Description
Lemon Butter by Askim is a 50g body butter that brings together non-GMO soy butter, lemon oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter. It melts into the skin to give deep moisture and a softer texture, while the fresh lemon note leaves the skin feeling revived and looking more radiant.
Lemon Butter Benefits
- Softens the skin and leaves it feeling more supple.
- Helps the skin look smoother and more even.
- Gives dull skin a fresher, brighter look.
- Moisturizes the skin and leaves it with a healthy-looking glow.
- Gives daily care to dry and rough areas.
Key Ingredients
- Non-GMO Soy Butter: Moisturizes the skin and supports its elasticity.
- Lemon Oil: Gives the skin a fresh, revived feel and a radiant look.
- Coconut Oil: Nourishes the skin and helps protect it from dryness.
- Cocoa Butter: Leaves the skin exceptionally soft and helps hold in moisture.
How to Use Lemon Butter
- Take a small amount between your hands and massage until it melts.
- Spread it gently over the skin or onto dry and rough areas for rich moisture and a soft, smooth feel.
- Use it as part of your daily routine to keep the skin soft and radiant.
How Often
Use Lemon Butter once or twice a day, or whenever your skin feels dry. Applying it after your evening shower is usually enough to keep the skin soft through the next day; in winter, or on very dry areas, add a second, thinner layer in the morning. A small amount, well massaged in, works better than a thick layer.
Where to Use It
Lemon Butter is concentrated, so it does the most good where the skin is driest:
- Elbows and knees that look dull or rough.
- Arms and legs after a shower.
- Hands and cuticles.
- Heels and feet before bed.
Who Is It For?
Lemon Butter suits dry or dull skin, and anyone who wants a rich moisturizer with a fresh, uplifting character. It is a good fit if your skin looks tired or uneven and you want daily nourishment, softness and a brighter-looking complexion. The compact 50g jar fits easily in a handbag, so you can reach for it after a day in dry, dusty air.
Why Cocoa Butter and Lemon Oil
Cocoa butter is the natural fat of the cocoa bean. It is firm in the jar but melts at about body temperature, so it spreads smoothly and leaves a soft, protective feel on dry skin. You can read more about cocoa butter and where it comes from. In Askim Lemon Butter it is blended with soy butter and coconut oil for nourishment, while lemon oil adds a bright citrus freshness that makes the butter feel lighter on the skin.
Lemon Butter in Your Routine
Lemon Butter pairs naturally with a weekly scrub: buff away dull skin with our citrus-bright Fresh Body Scrub, then moisturize.

Precautions
- For external use only. Use as directed.
- Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse well with water.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
- Contains lemon oil. Citrus oils can make skin more sensitive to strong sun, so on areas you will expose to the sun, apply it in the evening or follow with sunscreen.
Storage
Close the lid tightly after every use and keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Natural butters soften in warm weather and firm up again when it is cooler; this is normal and does not affect the product. Always scoop with clean, dry fingers.
Common Questions
Can I use Lemon Butter in the morning?
Yes. On areas that will be in strong sun, follow it with sunscreen, as you would with any product containing citrus oils.
Can I use it on my face?
It is formulated for the body. Facial skin is thinner and more delicate, so use a dedicated facial moisturizer instead.
Why does the texture change with the weather?
Natural butters soften in warm weather and firm up when it is cooler. Warm it between your palms before use; the quality is not affected.
How much Lemon Butter should I use?
Start with an amount about the size of a pea for each area, warmed between your fingertips. Add a little more only if the skin still feels dry once it has been absorbed.
