Ursa Major Golden Hour Body Butter

Editor's Take
This is the rare clean body butter with real cushion, not waxy virtue signaling, though the rosy citrus scent makes sensitive skin the catch.

- Formula Sustainability: 9.8 / 10
The Verdict
Its efficacy is Strong: Shea Butter, Squalane, Buriti oil, and Sea Buckthorn make it feel like barrier comfort, not just a pretty cream. Its clean profile is Strong too, with the caveat that Rosa Damascena oil, bitter orange peel oil, Limonene, and Linalool put fragrance on the bill. The texture is Modern, thanks to C13-15 Alkanes and potato pulp doing the smooth, non-greasy work without silicones, while sustainability is Exceptional. Worth it for dry body skin that wants plush moisture, provided scent is not your dealbreaker.
