About Buttah Skin
Sure, beauty’s only skin-deep, but being able to proudly cherish that skin is a beautiful feeling. That’s why entrepreneur Dorion Renaud started Buttah Skin with the mission of formulating products for melanin-rich skin that he was struggling to find for himself. Together with his team, Renaud developed a line of lotions, serums, and sprays that use simple ingredients like shea butter, rosewater, and oatmeal to address issues like dryness, discoloration, oiliness, and blemishes. And Buttah has hard proof that its products rejuvenate skin: A third party lab studied a sample of Buttah users and found that most showed improvements in skin evenness and luminosity. That’s the kind of extra-credit work we love to see.
Why we love them
Let’s be honest: Most skincare products are, consciously or not, designed for skin types that are fairly low in melanin. With Buttah, those with melanin-rich complexions can finally revel in a custom-designed product line. Buttah takes that a step further with a skincare quiz that helps you find the right products for your main skin concerns, and customizable face and body kits that allow you to put your results in action. Our colleague Destin uses Buttah’s CocoShea Cream as a deeply hydrating nighttime moisturizer, and says the Egyptian Coco Shea Body Wash is an instant repeat buy: It’s the best-smelling body wash he’s ever used and leaves skin feeling clean and and moisturized.
