Nourishing and moisturizing with real healing benefits, this formula aids in anti-aging, eczema relief, and wound care — leaving skin radiant, soft, and smooth. Refreshing and rejuvenating, it provides long-lasting softness with a natural, warm scent. With anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it promotes skin cell regeneration and soothes dry, blemish-prone skin. Scented with whole Organic Madagascar Vanilla Bean, hand-grated fresh into every batch.
Highlighted Ingredients
-
Mango Butter — Loaded with vitamins A, C, and E, mango butter improves elasticity, softens fine lines, and delivers deep, lasting moisture without clogging pores — a cornerstone of anti-aging body care.
-
Kokum Butter — One of the hardest and most regenerative natural butters, kokum repairs damaged skin cells, reduces inflammation, and restores suppleness to skin affected by eczema or chronic dryness.
-
Organic Madagascar Vanilla Bean — Hand-grated fresh — not extracted — whole vanilla bean delivers authentic warmth alongside natural antioxidants that fight free radical damage and support a youthful, glowing complexion.
Why We Love It
The scent alone will stop you in your tracks — warm, sweet, with a woody depth that lingers all day. But this butter delivers far beyond fragrance. With five active vitamins (A, E, K, B9 & F) working together, it is one of the most nutrient-dense body butters you will find anywhere. We love that it addresses eczema and aging with the same care and intention it gives your senses.
How To Use It
Apply to clean, slightly damp skin post-shower for maximum absorption. Massage in slow, circular motions until fully absorbed. For targeted eczema relief or wound care, apply a generous layer to affected areas twice daily. For anti-aging benefits, focus on the neck, décolletage, and hands.
What To Know
This is a rich, dense formula — a small amount goes a long way. Because whole vanilla bean is hand-grated into every batch, you may notice natural specks throughout the butter. This is a mark of its authenticity and freshness, not a flaw. Store in a cool area, as the natural butters may soften in warm environments.
What Makes It Green
Scented exclusively with unrefined essential oils and whole Organic Madagascar Vanilla Bean grated fresh by hand — zero synthetic fragrance. Every butter and oil is unrefined and cold-pressed, preserving the full spectrum of vitamins and fatty acids nature intended. Free from parabens, sulfates, artificial colors, and toxic fillers. What you see is exactly what's in it.

Description
Ultra-hydrating and gentle, this cleanser is specifically formulated for melanated dry to extra-dry skin — relieving the discomfort of eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis with every wash. Skin-nourishing and vitamin-rich, it delivers intense hydration even to the driest skin, making it a year-round essential and an especially welcome relief during the dry winter months. Its anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties calm itchy, irritated skin while a non-greasy, handmade formula keeps it moisturized long after rinsing. Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin — including babies and children — and powered by the same Sea Moss and Colloidal Oats pairing that makes the MelanMoisture line a standout.
Highlighted Ingredients
- Sea Moss — Naturally rich in Vitamin C and B-Complex vitamins, along with micronutrients and fatty acids — Sea Moss reduces inflammation, delivers antioxidant protection, and nourishes the skin at a cellular level with every cleanse.
- Colloidal Oats — Rich in Beta-Glucan and prized for its antihistaminic properties — Colloidal Oats locks in moisture, soothes itchy and inflamed skin, and supports anti-aging benefits over time.
- Shea Butter — Added generously to counter even the driest skin — Shea Butter brings deep conditioning power to a cleansing formula, ensuring skin never feels stripped or tight after washing.
Why We Love It
This is a cleanser that treats rather than strips. Most face and body washes for dry skin leave you reaching for lotion immediately — this one doesn't. The Sea Moss and Colloidal Oats combination means the wash is already doing repair work while it cleanses, so skin comes out calm instead of reactive. Paired with the MelanMoisture Extreme Cream, it becomes a complete ritual for managing eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis symptoms — not just masking them.
How To Use It
Apply to wet skin and gently massage in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Follow with MelanMoisture Extreme Cream to lock in hydration. May be used morning and night for best results.
What To Know
This wash is formulated specifically for dry to extra-dry skin, so a small amount goes further than you'd expect — no need to over-lather. Pairing it with the Extreme Cream immediately after rinsing maximizes the relief for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis-prone skin. Safe for babies and children under adult supervision. Patch test recommended for skin with active flares or high sensitivity.
What Makes It Green
Preserved with Phenoxyethanol — an Eco-certified, paraben-free preservative — keeping the formula clean without sacrificing shelf stability. Vitamin E is delivered through natural Tocopherol oil rather than synthetic additives. Free of toxins and harsh chemicals, making it safe for the most sensitive skin types. Gentle, sulfate-conscious cleansing agents like Sodium Decyl Glucoside work alongside Aloe Vera and Shea Butter to cleanse without disrupting the skin's natural barrier.

Vitamin E Oil: Provides antioxidant properties that reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Cocoa Butter: Smooths skin, reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and signs of aging.
Why We Love It It’s amazing how fast this body butter absorbs into skin without leaving any residue! And for some of us, shea butter instantly takes us back to our childhoods when our mothers used shea butter as an all-around remedy. It’s an unimaginable feeling to have a little piece of home wherever you go. Plus, it’s even safe enough to use on babies!
How To Use It After cleansing your skin, apply a small to moderate amount and massage into the skin until it’s completely absorbed. Can also be used as a relief for sunburn, on hair to seal in moisture, and as a conditioner for lips and cuticles.
What To Know Many of the ingredients found in this body butter are hypoallergenic, making it suitable for all skin types. It also has a rich creamy consistency which is great for those bitter winter months, but you’ll want to go the less-is-more route once spring and summer roll around. In winter, the butter does get a bit harder than usual. All you have to do is take a small scoop in the palm of your hands and warm it up by working it in a slow circular motion.
What Makes It Green This body butter, as well as all products handcrafted by Ilera Apothecary, is made using 100% organic, nutrient-rich ingredients to give you a new level of hydration and moisture without any of the toxic chemicals.
Perfect For Combination, Dry, Oily, and Mature Skin Types. All Hair Types.

Our Wellness, Our Way: Founder Reflection
Wellness has never been one-size-fits-all—and for too long, the wellness industry ignored the needs, voices, and brilliance of Black women. When I founded BLK + GRN, I wasn’t just building a marketplace; I was building a movement rooted in trust, transparency, and true healing. This space is my way of sharing what I’m learning, questioning, and celebrating as I walk this path alongside you. From the beauty of non-toxic living to the complexity of conscious entrepreneurship, this is where I’ll reflect openly, honestly, and always in alignment with our wellness—our way.
