Organic Raspberry Seed Oil contains an exceptionally high proportion of alpha linoleic acid, an anti inflammatory essential omega 3 fatty acid and omega 6 fatty acids, as well as vitamin A and vitamin E. It also ranks very high on the ORAC scale (this measures a substances anti oxidant capacity) due to the high amount of antioxidant anthocyanins it contains.
Organic Jojoba, cold-pressed and unrefined, vegan, fair-trade and Kosher certified. Although it looks like oil, Jojoba is actually a liquid wax and one that closely mimics the natural sebum that our skin produces. It penetrates deep into the skin and contains powerful antioxidants, Omega 6 and 9 essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E. It is non-clogging for your pores an deeply nourishes and soothes the skin.
Organic Sweet Almond Oil contains Vitamin A. The retinol in vitamin A has the ability to stimulate the production of new skin cells and smooth fine lines.
Wild Nettle contains antibacterial properties which kill off fungi and bacteria. Nettle is truly effective against microorganisms that may lead to inflammation and acne. It fights infections, such as pimples, eradicating and preventing them from recurring.
Wild Harvested Fireweed is a great anti-inflammatory especially for acne prone skin. It also soothes dry, irritated skin types.
What is an organic body butter?
At Laughing Lichen we follow the Canadian Organic Standards which are defined here: https://inspection.canada.ca/organic-products/standards/eng/1300368619837/1300368673172. Section 7.6 of The Standard is specific to Wild Crops.
Wilderness Manufacturing:
Each batch of this nourishing and rich body butter is crafted in small batches at our remote “off-the-grid” wilderness facility located deep in the Northwest Territories boreal forest. Our entire facility is run using solar energy. This ensures that the air drying of the collected herbs is done in a location far from any pollutants or contaminations. All of our harvesting locations are in pristine virgin forests (old-growth), as here in the Northwest Territories of Canada, there has been very little development or natural resource activity over the years.
How to apply:
A gentle organic body butter suitable for daily use, for men or woman of any age. Apply using cleanly washed hands, massaging gently onto body. With prolonged use it improves skin radiance, aids in healing scars while softening the skin. Shea butter provides a natural SPF of 6-10, jojoba contains a natural SPF of 4.

This stuff is the bomb! It soothes the winter itchy skin, has a little cooling feeling from the mint which is lovely. I’m also a mechanic and it’s helping my chemical/ environmentally abused hide.

A mid winter review – My 11 year old daughter and I both really love this product. She loves the smell and I love the creamy texture. We both find that it feels nice to use and is wonderful at hydrating our skin, I have very dry skin and she easily gets eczema, so we are often difficult to please, yet both are really enjoying this body butter.

Jennifer Gunyon –
Absolutely stellar body butter! I use it daily and love it’s rich moisturizing on my skin. Doesn’t sting if my hands get chapped from extreme Alberta cold.
