Introducing Malie Kaua’i’s recipe for rich, delicious moisture – their brand-new in-shower/in-bath moisture application – MANGO BUTTER BUN.  It looks and smells like something you’d find amongst the sweets in an elegant patisserie, however Malie Kaua’i’s MANGO BUTTER BUN will quench the body’s head-to-toe desire to replace depleted moisture, rather than sate a sweet tooth! 

This moisturizing “bun” – IT’S SHAPED LIKE A MINI BUNDT CAKE - is chock full of nourishing mango and other indigenous Hawaiian ingredients to hydrate and frost the skin with a gleaming, non-greasy, day-long topping and protective coat. 

THE MANGO BUTTER BUN IS MEANT TO BE USED IN THE SHOWER OR BATH, TO MOISTURIZE BEFORE YOU TURN OFF THE WATER!

Like any meal-ending dessert, the MANGO BUTTER BUN is the last nourishing step before getting out of the shower.  It’s an IN-SHOWER/IN-BATH MOISTURIZER that has been formulated to maintain all of its properties and hold its unique shape as its massage and moisturizing benefits are activated at a precise melting and softening point.  Like a Hawaiian volcano, MANGO BUTTER BUN is heat-activated by steam and warm water to provide a hydrating treatment and treat skin with quenching anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.  The shiny, golden bun will leave skin soft, and gleaming with a subtle golden sheen in one simple step:  Moisturize IN THE SHOWER, hop out, pat dry, and go!

After cleansing as usual, massage the bun over the body, allowing the nourishing ingredients to soak into the skin.  The ingredients are not water soluble, and won’t rinse away as they are rubbed into the skin under water, in fact, water will start to bead on the skin as the product is absorbed.  Making sure to cleanse FIRST, and then, with the specially designed bun fit snugly into the palm of the hand, use circular motions to impart a rich, creamy, layer of vitamin-enriched nourishment all over the face and body.  No need to apply moisturizer after getting out of the shower—the bun does it for you, before you get out!

As the bun melts into the skin, the juicy fragrances of its indigenous Hawaiian-grown ingredients will intoxicate the soul, as they moisturize the body.  Ripe MANGO is the central skin nourisher, because mango moisturizes and protects the skin, and promotes the regeneration of damaged, dry skin.  The bun contains both real MANGO FRUIT and MANGO BUTTER.  The sweet fruit is naturally antioxidant, and rich in natural vitamins and minerals, while mango seeds are cold-pressed to make MANGO BUTTER, which nourishes skin with beta-carotene and vitamins A and E.  COCOA BUTTER, the solid fat expressed from the roasted seed of the cocoa beans adds its legendary moisturizing and skincare properties.  It’s loaded with Vitamin E, as well as natural antioxidants and countless nutrients such as calcium, potassium and iron.  Cocoa Butter is highly protective to the skin, and also acts as a water repellent.  The bun gets its shiny golden color from the mango but also from OLENA, a root from the ginger family, that is a natural color additive, but also stimulates the skin and increases circulation to the body.

While made specifically for use in the shower, the MANGO BUTTER BUN can also be used on dry skin, as a more traditional massage butter.  Malie Kaua’i’s 7-oz. Mango Butter Bun retails for $32
