Organic facial butter for dry, tight and less supple skin that needs richer care than a regular face cream. A blend of plant butters and oils helps reduce dryness and leaves the skin softer and more supple.
Unlike traditional heavy butters, it has a light texture that melts into the skin and does not leave a heavy greasy film. Its scent comes from pure essential oils of lavender and citrus.
Organic Essence Citrus Lavender – organic facial butter
When skin feels dry, tight or less supple, a regular face cream may not always provide the level of nourishment it needs. Organic Essence Citrus Lavender is a concentrated organic facial butter made with a blend of plant butters and oils that helps reduce dryness and support softer, more supple skin.
Although it contains shea and mango butter, it does not feel like a dense or heavy body butter. Its light texture melts gently into the skin, spreads easily and feels comfortable rather than greasy. With its concentrated formula and 57 g size, it works especially well as a facial butter or as targeted care for dry areas.

How the blend of plant butters and oils works
The formula combines plant butters and oils with different fatty acid profiles. Mango and shea butter provide the nourishing base and help protect the skin from dryness, while lighter oils such as camellia, babassu and jojoba improve spreadability and absorption.
This balance gives the product a richer feel than a standard cream, without the heaviness often associated with traditional butters. It glides on easily, absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling softer and more comfortable.
Mango butter
Mango butter gives the formula its soft, creamy texture and helps smooth and soften the skin.
Shea butter
Shea butter is a traditional skincare ingredient used to care for dry skin. It helps limit moisture loss and supports the skin’s natural comfort.
Camellia oil
Camellia oil is valued for its light feel and good absorption. It helps balance the richer butters, making the texture more elegant on the skin.
Babassu oil
Babassu oil feels light on the skin and helps support softness and suppleness.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil helps keep the skin smooth, supple and comfortable to the touch.
Scent from pure essential oils
The scent comes from lavender essential oil and orange peel oil. It is not based on synthetic fragrance. Lavender brings a soft herbal note, while citrus adds a fresh, clean lift.

Frequently asked questions about this facial butter
Is this facial butter comedogenic?
Comedogenicity depends on both the formula and the individual skin type. This butter combines richer butters with lighter oils to create a more balanced texture. If your skin is oily or blemish-prone, it is best to start with a small amount.
Is shea butter suitable for the face?
Shea butter is widely used in skincare for dry skin. It helps reduce dryness and supports softer, more comfortable skin.
Is this facial butter suitable for night-time use?
Yes. Because it is richer in plant lipids than a standard cream, it works very well as a nourishing evening treatment for dry or tight skin.
Will it clog pores?
The formula combines richer butters with lighter oils to improve how it feels on the skin. If your skin is very oily, use a small amount first and see how your skin responds.
How long does one jar last?
It is a concentrated formula, so only a small amount is needed. When used on the face or on smaller dry areas, one jar usually lasts a long time.
How should I dispose of the packaging once the product is finished?
The Eco Jar is made from a paper-based composite without plastic. Once empty, it can be recycled with paper or composted if you have home composting facilities.
How is Organic Essence different from other natural skincare brands?
Organic Essence was founded as a family business in California and focuses on both certified organic formulas and genuinely lower-waste packaging. The brand is known for its plastic-free Eco Jar and Eco Tube packaging, designed as an alternative to conventional cosmetic packs.
Storage and hygiene
How to store the facial butter
To preserve the quality of the plant butters and oils for as long as possible, store the product in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Because this is a water-free formula, it is naturally stable, but cooler storage helps maintain its texture and freshness.
Use the wooden spatula
Each jar contains a small wooden spatula. It is recommended to use it when taking the product from the jar, rather than dipping fingers directly into the butter. This helps keep the product clean and preserves its quality during regular use.

Organic Essence was founded in 2006 immediately after the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and its organic program (USDA Organic), granted permission for agriculturally grown, non-food products to be certified as compliant with existing organic food standards. Among companies focused on body care products, Organic Essence was one of the first to receive this certification and is still one of the few companies that produce only certified 100% organic products.
Certification for organic products is important because deceptive marketing has made the term 'natural' product meaningless. Organic Essence simply does not use any chemicals that could have a negative effect on health and the environment, as zero is the safest amount of synthetic substances.
From the beginning, the manufacturer has been interested in the ancient use of natural, traditional ingredients in product development, because their effects have been known for many years, e.g. we are mostly familiar with the properties of various fruits, vegetables and herbs, and we know that such hemlock is poisonous. On the other hand, new synthetic chemicals have not been around long enough to say for sure what effect they have on our health and environment. However, we are finding that substances that were once considered safe, such as the infamous Round-Up, are proving dangerous over time.
Organic Essence's sustainable natural approach is not just limited to the contents of the packaging, but also includes the packaging itself. Initially, Organic Essence packaged their products in plastic packaging like most. There was not enough education and awareness of the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment and animals. That all changed the day a dead sperm whale washed up on a beach near the company's headquarters, its entrails hiding a huge amount of plastic it had ingested in the ocean...
The impact of plastics (not only) on underwater life
"One morning, driving to the office, we spotted a 30-foot-long sperm whale that had washed up on South Beach beach and was only in its adolescence. But instead of growing up and enjoying life in the ocean, he lay there motionless and dead. We felt an indescribable sadness. The wildlife veterinarian determined that the whale died of starvation because its stomach was filled with plastic. This was caused by plastic??? We were so proud of our USDA Organic certification for safe body care, but our packaging was putting the environment and animal life at risk.
Being certified organic by the Department of Agriculture was of great importance to us in terms of environmental sustainability and our goal was to help people avoid synthetic substances. But everything we made was wrapped in plastic. We realised that we are part of a huge environmental problem because plastic is not a sustainable resource.
After a beached whale opened our eyes, we discovered that plastic is a mildly toxic chemical. Until then, it was easy to think that plastic was as inert as glass. However, we now know that plastic releases phthalates and other chemicals into the ingredients of creams and other cosmetic and food products. Plastic takes hundreds to thousands of years to decompose, and even after breaking down into micro-particles it continues to release its chemical load into the environment.
What bothered us a lot was the fact that our Organic Essence brand was based on completely non-toxic products, without the addition of any chemicals. And now we've discovered that plastic packaging is contaminating our careful organic formulations with synthetic hormones and cancer-causing chemicals. Chemical contamination is the exact opposite of what organic certification and the organic lifestyle represents. We had to find a non-toxic and sustainable alternative to plastic packaging."
Packaging industry and greenwashing
The packaging industry is dominated by plastics. Manufacturers know that customers want a good price and environmental sustainability, but environmental sustainability costs more money. Marketing advertising costs less than real sustainable eco-packaging. That's why the modern marketing handbook highlights the positives as much as it can - directing attention to small improvements and promoting them as big breakthroughs is commonplace. Cheating ranges from small lies to blatant ones.
Wonderful slogans prevail in all media, but the problem remains that there are few real and lasting environmentally sustainable solutions in the world.
Organic Essence is based on producing tangible products that deliver results, not on illusion. They designed and developed their unique eco-friendly paper packaging themselves. Their first development attempt in the packaging sector was a paper container in 2008 and then paper tubes in 2009. Since then, they have developed other sustainable eco-packaging products and supply them to other companies. It holds more than 15 patents for packaging, covering a wide range of applications and needs.
Is the paper environmentally sustainable?
The importance of environmental sustainability is to support all life on the planet, and in doing so we support human life. Matter that is of living origin and that supports life is sustainable.
Chemicals that harm living creatures and the environment over time are not. Paper as a packaging material comes from living matter, and when you throw it away it goes back to its living origin, as a result it serves as food for insects and other invisible life. Paper leaves virtually no carbon footprint (it is carbon neutral) because it absorbs carbon directly from the air. Paper is the most recycled material on the planet. Paper does not contaminate organic certified products (as plastic packaging does). And most importantly... paper doesn't kill whales and other animals. Paper packaging, when it is used up, becomes part of the natural cycle of life, not something that threatens it.
Organic Essence products - and their packaging - are rooted in and are a sustainable part of life on Earth.
The Organic Essence brand was created to help both people and nature.
