FAQS
Questions about this product.
-
Yes - sensitive skin is our starting point for every Finishya formula. This vegan body butter is made in small batches in Dunedin NZ using gentle, plant-based ingredients that are kind to reactive skin. If you're particularly sensitive, patch test on a small area first.
-
Not at all - this is one of the most common concerns about lavender products and it's worth addressing directly. The scent is soft and floral, not sharp, medicinal, or cleaning-product-like. Think of it as lavender in full bloom rather than lavender essential oil straight from the bottle. It's gentle enough to wear overnight without being overwhelming.
-
No - despite being a rich, thick formula it absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue. Your skin feels immediately hydrated and stays that way for hours - without that heavy, coated feeling most thick body butters leave behind. You can apply it before bed and get straight under the covers.
-
Body butter is significantly richer and more hydrating than a standard lotion. Our formula uses mango seed butter, shea butter, and NZ harakeke oil - a combination that delivers deep, lasting moisture rather than surface-level hydration that wears off quickly. If your skin is dry, tight after a shower, or never quite feels quenched by regular moisturisers, body butter is usually the answer.
-
Same gentle, vegan base formula with NZ harakeke oil - the difference is entirely the scent and the mood. Lavender is soft and floral, best suited to evening and night-time routines. Rose is fresh and clean, like cut flowers, and works equally well morning or evening. Both are equally hydrating, cruelty-free, and made for sensitive skin. It really comes down to which scent and which moment feels most like you.
