After grieving the loss of her beloved childhood cat, Peri wanted to create something that could bring comfort, happiness, and warmth, not only to herself, but to others as well. Turning to her passion for creativity and her love for beautiful scents, she began experimenting with her very first wax melts.

With encouragement and support from family and friends, Aroma Nova Melts was born.

What started as a personal way to bring light during a difficult time quickly grew into something much bigger. Through craft shows and community events, Peri has met inspiring people from all walks of life, shared heartfelt conversations with customers, and experienced the joy of seeing her handmade products bring comfort and smiles to others.

Today, Aroma Nova Melts continues to grow with that same purpose: creating products that make homes feel cozier, self-care feel special, and everyday moments a little brighter.

How to Care for Your Body Butter: Keep It Fresh, Smooth, and Long-Lasting

How to Care for Your Body Butter: Keep It Fresh, Smooth, and Long-Lasting

Body butter is more than just a skincare product, it’s a little jar of luxury. Rich, nourishing, and made with love, it’s designed to keep your skin soft, hydrated, and glowing. But just like any premium skincare, your body butter needs a little care to stay at its best. 

Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Body butter can be sensitive to heat. High temperatures can cause it to melt or lose its whipped texture, while moisture can encourage bacteria or mold growth. Keep your jar in a cool, dry place like your bedroom vanity or a cabinet away from direct sunlight.

Pro tip: If your body butter does melt, pop it in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to help it firm up again (texture may change slightly, but it’ll still be usable).

Avoid Water Getting Into the Jar

Water is the enemy of preservative-free or naturally preserved body butter. Even a small amount of water from wet hands can shorten its shelf life.

Pro tip: Always scoop with clean, dry fingers or use a cosmetic spatula for extra hygiene.

Keep the Lid Tightly Sealed

Oxygen exposure can cause oils and butters to oxidize over time, making them lose their fresh scent and silky feel. Always close the lid tightly after use to keep air, dust, and bacteria out.

Use It Within the Recommended Timeframe

Most natural body butters are best used within 6–12 months of opening. After this period, oils may start to smell “off” and textures may change.

If your jar doesn’t contain synthetic preservatives, sticking to the use-by timeframe ensures you’re getting the maximum benefits and freshness.

Keep It Away from Direct Sunlight

UV light can break down the natural oils and butters in your jar, reducing their skin-loving properties. If you keep your body butter in the bathroom, make sure it’s not near a sunny window or hot shower steam.

 Travel with Care

Taking your body butter on vacation? Place the jar in a sealable plastic bag to prevent mess in case it melts in your luggage. Once you arrive, store it somewhere cool.

Notice Any Changes? Do a Quick Check

If you notice a sour smell, mold spots, or significant texture change, it’s safest to replace your jar. While natural body butter is safe when fresh, expired products can irritate your skin.
