What Ingredients Are in Breast Butter and Why?
Breast Butter was created as a rich, nourishing topical butter for the breast and chest area after surgery, once the wound has fully closed and your practitioner has said it is safe to apply products and begin gentle massage.
Every ingredient was chosen with intention: to create a soft, comforting medium for scar and skin care, to support gentle touch, and to help women reconnect with the breast, chest and heart space after surgery.
Breast Butter contains jojoba oil, rosehip oil, sweet almond oil, hemp seed oil, wheatgerm oil, arnica oil, hypericum oil, calendula oil, castor oil, shea butter, beeswax and the best quality essential oils of helichrysum, frankincense, myrrh, lemon scented gum and rose.
Certified organic ingredients are marked with an asterisk on the product label.
This is more than a butter.
It is a ritual of tenderness.
As we like to say:
Where good attention goes, good energy will surely flow.
Why ingredients matter after breast surgery
After breast surgery, the breast and chest area may feel tender, tight, dry, numb, unfamiliar or emotionally sensitive.
There may be scars, changes in sensation, pulling, tightness or a sense of disconnection from the area. A gentle topical ritual can help you slowly return loving attention to this part of your body.
Breast Butter was created to support:
-
Soft, nourished-feeling skin
-
Comfortable gentle massage
-
Scar and chest care once the skin has healed
-
A slow ritual of reconnection
-
A feeling of warmth, kindness and care
-
Touch from love, not fear
The ingredients are rich, grounding and deeply nurturing. They help your hands move slowly and softly, so scar care becomes less clinical and more loving.
Why these ingredients were chosen
Breast Butter was created as a rich, nourishing medium for gentle breast, chest and scar care after surgery, once the wound has fully closed and your practitioner has said it is safe.
The oils, butters, herbal infusions and essential oils were chosen to support softness, glide, nourishment, gentle touch and reconnection with the breast and chest area.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, making it a gentle and beautifully balanced oil for delicate skin care.
It helps condition the skin, support soft hydration and create a smooth, non-greasy massage texture around the breast, chest and scar area.
Rosehip oil
Rosehip oil is loved in natural skincare for skin that feels dry, marked or changed.
It is naturally rich in skin-loving nutrients, including vitamin C and compounds associated with skin renewal. In Breast Butter, it was chosen to support the look and feel of scarred or uneven skin, improve softness, and bring a sense of renewal to the care ritual.
Sweet almond oil
Sweet almond oil is soft, gentle and widely used in massage blends.
It helps reduce dryness, support skin softness and improve the feel of elasticity around areas that may feel tight or delicate after surgery.
Hemp seed oil
Hemp seed oil is light, omega-rich and deeply nourishing.
It was chosen to calm and condition the feel of the skin, support a soft plant-based texture, and bring comfort to skin that may feel dry, fragile or changed.
Wheatgerm oil
Wheatgerm oil is rich, golden and naturally high in vitamin E.
It was chosen for its deeply nourishing feel and its traditional use in caring for dry, delicate or marked skin. It adds richness and depth to Breast Butter and helps support the feeling of softness around scar tissue.
Arnica oil
Arnica has a long history of traditional use in topical body-care preparations, especially where bruising, swelling or tenderness is part of the story.
In Breast Butter, arnica oil adds to the herbal character of the blend and supports a gentle post-surgery care ritual once the skin has fully healed.
Hypericum oil
Hypericum oil, also known as St John’s Wort infused oil, is traditionally used in herbal body care where nerve sensitivity, discomfort or altered sensation may be present.
In Breast Butter, it was chosen to support a thoughtful care ritual for areas that may feel numb, sensitive, tender or unfamiliar after surgery.
Calendula oil
Calendula is one of the most loved herbs in natural skincare.
Calendula oil was chosen for its gentle, soothing character and its long association with delicate, dry or sensitive-feeling skin. It brings softness, calm and botanical care to the blend.
Castor oil
Castor oil is rich, thick and grounding.
It is traditionally used in body-care rituals where warmth, circulation and tissue softness are desired. In Breast Butter, it gives a slow massage feel and helps soften the feel of tight or dry scar tissue.
Shea butter
Shea butter gives Breast Butter its creamy, nourishing texture.
It melts into the skin beautifully, helping lock in moisture and support a soft, protective feel. It was chosen to comfort dry or tight-feeling skin and support elasticity in the breast and chest area.
Beeswax
Beeswax gives Breast Butter structure and a soft protective feel.
It helps form a breathable, balm-like layer over the skin, supporting moisture retention while giving the butter its rich, stable texture.
Essential oils for scar care and emotional comfort
The essential oils in Breast Butter were chosen for their aroma, botanical character and the way they support a beautiful post-surgery care ritual.
They help create a blend that feels soft, sacred, grounding, tender, heart-centred and restorative.
Helichrysum essential oil
Helichrysum is often called “the everlasting flower.”
It is highly valued in natural skin-care blends and is traditionally associated with skin renewal, restoration and scar-care rituals. In Breast Butter, it brings a precious, honeyed, herbaceous aroma and a deep sense of tenderness.
Frankincense essential oil
Frankincense has a deep, resinous and grounding aroma.
It is traditionally used in skin-care and ritual blends where calm, renewal and emotional steadiness are desired. In Breast Butter, it helps make scar care feel less clinical and more like a sacred act of reconnection.
Myrrh essential oil
Myrrh has a warm, earthy and resinous aroma.
It is traditionally valued in body-care blends for dry, delicate or damaged-feeling skin. In Breast Butter, it adds depth, stillness and ancient botanical character.
Lemon scented gum essential oil
Lemon scented gum has a bright, fresh Australian aroma.
It brings a feeling of breath, openness and clarity to the chest-care ritual. Its uplifting scent helps balance the richer oils and resins in the blend.
Rose essential oil
Rose is often called the queen of oils.
It is soft, floral and heart-centred, with a long association with tenderness, beauty, grief, love and emotional comfort. In Breast Butter, rose supports both the skin-care ritual and the emotional process of reconnecting with the breast and chest area after surgery.
Why this blend is unique
Breast Butter is not a plain moisturiser.
It combines rich plant oils, herbal-infused oils, shea butter, beeswax and precious essential oils to create a deeply nourishing butter for gentle breast, chest and scar care once the skin has healed.
The texture supports slow massage.
The botanicals support a tender care ritual.
The aroma helps invite breath, softness and connection.
Breast Butter turns scar care into a daily act of kindness.

Breast Butter contains herbal oils and essential oils, so we suggest patch testing first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Do not use on open wounds, fresh scars, broken skin, irritated skin, inflamed skin, infected skin, areas that are hot, red, swollen or painful, or skin affected by radiation unless your practitioner has approved it.
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

When should I seek professional help?
