Three basils at once, sweet and gently peppery, with a faint anise note from Thai basil. Green, warm, and unexpectedly cozy.
Scent intensity:Moderate
Indulge your skin with our Basil Herbal Body Butter, a luxurious blend crafted from carefully selected natural ingredients. Enriched with three distinct Florida-grown basil varieties, sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), and Thai basil (Ocimum basilicum var. thyrsiflora), each bringing its own unique botanical profile to the infusion. Sweet basil contributes warm, herbaceous depth; holy basil (also known as tulsi), traditionally revered in Ayurvedic practice, adds an earthy, grounding note; Thai basil rounds out the blend with its distinctive anise-like aromatic character. Together they create a richer, more complex infusion than any single variety can achieve. This rich, velvety formula deeply nourishes and hydrates, softening dry and rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Its silky texture melts effortlessly into the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and revitalized with a subtle, layered herbal essence. Designed for daily indulgence, it delivers elegant, plant-based care for beautifully nourished and radiant skin.

Many "natural" body butters are mostly water. A Florida herbalist on what an herbal, plant-based body butter really is, the butters that matter, how herbs get in, and how to make a simple one at home.
Modern skincare is full of substitutes, petroleum jelly, synthetic emulsifiers, silicone gels. But beeswax has been the base of topical herbal preparations for thousands of years, and there are good reasons it still is.
Most herbal skincare brands buy dried herbs from distributors. We grow ours in a Florida garden, harvest them ourselves, and infuse them within days. Here's why that decision shapes everything, from potency to trust.
Three basils from our Tallahassee garden, sweet basil, holy basil (tulsi), and Thai basil, infused whole into apricot kernel and grapeseed oils, then blended with mango butter, beeswax, and a little Vitamin E. It is a waterless body butter made for the driest places: elbows, knees, and heels.
How long does a jar of Basil Body Butter last?
A little goes a long way, a thin layer is all you need, so a 2oz / 57g jar typically lasts for months of regular use.
Do you really grow the herbs yourselves?
Yes, the herbs in our infusions are grown in our own Tallahassee garden and infused whole. The oils, beeswax, and essential oils that finish each formula come from trusted suppliers.
Does it contain preservatives?
No, and it does not need them. Every InVine formula is waterless. Microbes need water to grow, so there is nothing for a preservative to protect against. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that keeps the oils fresh, not a preservative. Keep the jar closed and keep water out of it.
How should I store it?
Keep it below about 75°F and out of direct sunlight. Botanical formulas can soften in summer heat, if that happens in transit, let the jar rest at room temperature and it will settle back down.
