Restore. Brighten. Nourish.
(A face-and-body butter that delivers deep, healing hydration with two calming aromatic blends.)

Infused with Frankincense and AEA-certified Emu oil, this rich, multi-use butter is a deeply restorative moisturizer for both face and body. Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) helps tone the skin, improve the appearance of scars and fine lines, and calm inflammation while Emu oil penetrates deeply to deliver essential fatty acids where they’re needed most.

Each formula is crafted with organic, unrefined ingredients that melt into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration without a greasy finish once absorbed.

Choose from two soothing options:

  • Sweet Orange – Brightening and uplifting, with sea buckthorn, sweet orange and lemon (steam distilled) oils, and frankincense to promote glow and even skin tone.

  • Lavender – Calming and reparative, with lavender, chamomile, and frankincense to soothe sensitivity and support nightly recovery.

Perfect for dry, reactive, or post-inflammatory skin, this butter absorbs beautifully and leaves behind a soft, radiant finish. Use it day or night to replenish moisture and restore balance... naturally.


Note on Frankincense: Not all frankincense is created equal. We use Boswellia carterii, a high-quality resin prized for its skin-soothing, regenerating, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Unlike the more commonly used Boswellia serrata (often chosen for its lower cost and internal use), carterii is better suited for topical skincare making it ideal for supporting tone, texture, and healing. It’s a more costly option, but one we choose intentionally for its superior performance on the skin.

1. INGREDIENTS

Key Highlights

Shared in Both Versions:
🕊️ Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) – A sacred botanical known to calm inflammation, reduce the look of scars and fine lines, and support skin regeneration.
🧡 AEA-Certified Emu Oil – Rich in omegas 3, 6 & 9, this penetrating oil delivers deep hydration and healing where skin needs it most.
🌰 Shea Butter, Babassu Oil & Kokum Butter – A nourishing trio of butters that soften, repair the skin barrier, and restore moisture.
🌻 Jojoba Oil – Mimics the skin’s natural oils to hydrate without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
🕯️ Candelilla Wax – A vegan-friendly wax that locks in moisture and gives the butter its smooth, whipped texture.
🟡 Vitamin E – A powerful plant-based antioxidant that helps protect and repair the skin.

Sweet Orange Version Only:
🍊 Sea Buckthorn (Seaberry) – Packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids to brighten and even skin tone.
🍋 Sweet Orange & Lemon Oils (Steam Distilled) – Uplifting citrus oils that promote radiance and clarity without phototoxicity.

🧡 Note on citrus oils: Some citrus essential oils can cause phototoxicity, which makes skin more sensitive to sunlight and may lead to irritation or discoloration. We use steam-distilled citrus oils - a safer, more refined option that delivers all the glow-boosting benefits without the risk of sun sensitivity. It’s one of the many small but important ways we formulate with your skin’s long-term health in mind.

Lavender Version Only:
🌼 Lavender Essential Oil – Soothes irritated skin and helps calm the senses.
🌼 Chamomile Essential Oil – Known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-calming benefits.
🌾 Rice Bran Oil – Rich in antioxidants and vitamin B; helps improve skin texture and elasticity.

FAQs

Which one’s right for me?

✨ Sweet Orange – Bright, refreshing, and perfect for morning routines or daytime use. With citrus oils and sea buckthorn, this version absorbs slightly faster and promotes a visibly brighter, more even tone. Great if you're looking to boost glow and start your day with an energizing scent.

🌙 Lavender – Calming, nurturing, and ideal for evening rituals or whenever your skin feels stressed. This version offers a slightly richer feel with skin-soothing lavender, chamomile, and rice bran oil. Wonderful for night use or those with reactive or easily irritated skin.

💛 Both versions leave behind a soft, non-greasy finish after fully absorbed and deeply replenish dry or compromised skin.

Can I really use this on my face - even if it says it's for face and body?

Absolutely. This butter was intentionally formulated to be safe and effective for both face and body. While many “body” products are too heavy or pore-clogging for facial use, ours features a thoughtful blend of non-comedogenic oils and a plant-based wax (instead of beeswax) that won’t clog pores. It delivers deep nourishment while keeping your skin smooth, balanced, and breathable.

Can I really use this on my face - even though it contains citrus?

Yes! We use steam-distilled lemon essential oil, which is a gentler and safer alternative to the more common cold-pressed citrus oils. Unlike expressed lemon oil, steam-distilled lemon does not contain the compounds that make skin more sensitive to sunlight (phototoxicity). This makes it safe for use on the face, even during the day, while still offering the uplifting benefits of citrus.

What are the benefits of emu oil, and is it ethically sourced?

Emu oil is known for its ability to deeply penetrate (imitating natural human sebum) and support skin repair, making it a favorite for dry, damaged, or inflamed skin. Some customers even praise how it soothes small skin tears.

We only use AEA-certified emu oil to ensure purity, quality and ethical sourcing standards you can trust.

Testimonials

Joy To Jar products have absolutely TRANSFORMED my skin! I have struggled with cystic acne for years and have been on various medications. Within days of starting to use the Superfood face oil and Azul face oil, I saw results. My skin texture has been significantly improved and my skin looks glowy and radiant. Every product has been incredible even with my sensitive skin. I couln't recomment Joy To Jar products enough!!!

Eva S.

I cannot thank you enough for the amazing quality products that are potent, clean and nourishing for my skin. Not to mention I don't have to pay hundreds of dollars $$$$ for.

Enjalene G.

Lisa's natural skincare products are absolutely amazing! I've been using her balm "Strong Stuff" and it's been a total game-changer for my sore, overused muscle. It helps melt away tension and stiffness after workouts or long days - honestly feels like relief in a jar. On top of that, all of her products smell incredible and feel so good on the skin - rich, nourishing, and never greasy. You can tell how much care and quality goes into everything she makes. Highly recommend!

Vanessa G.

Appreciate you taking extra care to wrap everything. Just spritzed some rose water on my face...so refreshing and my skin has a damp hydration feeling...ugh so heavenly. I'm so happy our paths crossed - I've been trying to find a holistic, organic skin care products...you are my angel!

Michelle S.

Joy to Jar changed my life...literally. I am in my mid-forties and was seeing my many years of sun, primarily at high altitude. Fighting acne and wrinkles simultaneously was unwanted, to say the least. After two weeks of using Superfood Face Oil, my skin was literally flawless for the first time in years. People who had known me forever commented about how my skin glowed like never before. I've used a countless number of products, many priced exponentially higher, and Superfood is the best without contest. You won't be disappointed!
