Shea Butter: Due to its high concentration of fatty acids and vitamins, it increases the skin's moisture and helps to protect it from environmental free radicals. .
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.

Elevate your wash days in a spa-like treatment with our Deep Conditioning Mask...the ultimate act of love for your hair. This rich, creamy mask is infused with nourishing oils and exotic butters that penetrate deeply to restore hydration, strength, and shine. It envelops each strand in a rejuvenating embrace, smoothing cuticles for silkier, healthier hair. A hint of lavender and botanical extracts creates a calming sensorial experience as you pamper your tresses. Especially crafted for coily, curly, and dry hair, this mask revives texture and elasticity, leaving your hair soft, lustrous, and truly loved.
- Squalane: A lightweight, olive-derived hydrator that mimics natural oils to deeply moisturize and enhance softness without greasiness.
- Illipe Butter: Vitamin-rich butter that intensely nourishes and restores elasticity, helping to strengthen and repair hair.
- Murumuru Butter: Amazonian butter packed with fatty acids to tame frizz and lock in moisture for supple, manageable hair.
Why We Love It: This mask is what “treat yourself” looks like on wash day. Rich, creamy, and deeply indulgent, it transforms dry or stressed hair into soft, silky strands that feel truly cared for.
How To Use It: After cleansing your hair with ÈYÍ DÀRA Shampoo Bar, section your hair. Apply a generous amount of the conditioning mask and massage downwards. Leave on hair for at least 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
What To Know: Many conditioners simply coat the hair for a temporary silky feel, but this formula goes deeper. Powered by exotic butters and plant oils, it penetrates the hair shaft to restore hydration and elasticity from within. Hydrolyzed keratin and silk amino acids strengthen weak strands, while marshmallow root extract adds natural slip for easier detangling.
What Makes It Green: Made with botanically rich ingredients, it’s free from parabens, sulfates, silicones and any ingredients on our Toxic Twenty List.

Personal Musings on Wellness, Legacy, and Living Well
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.
