What is in every butter, and why it is there. Nothing hidden. Everything disclosed.
This base is the same in every Atabey Botanica body butter. What makes each scent distinct is the botanical added at the finish.
Wild Shield shares the same nourishing base as every Atabey Botanica butter. It adds two more plant ingredients - Sesame Seed Oil and Arrowroot Powder - and a purposeful blend of essential oils, each chosen for what it repels and what it brings to the skin.
