Pacifica Mediterranean Fig Body Butter

An earthy and green combination of palm, cyclamen, sweet fig, moss, and clove set in a base of woody sandalwood. Each jar contains 8 ounces and comes in a beautiful box. The fig symbolizes the continuous flow of time and offers a wish for long life. In legend, it was the Greek goddess Demeter who first revealed these "fruits of autumn" to mortals. Native to areas from Asiatic Turkey to northern India, figs have spread to every Mediterranean country. References to the fig appear throughout the Bible, and the fruit was a favorite of Cleopatra. In Athens every inhabitant was known as a "philosykos," which, literally translated, means "a friend of the fig." Although considered a fruit, the fig is actually a flower inverted into itself. Pacifica's natural, paraben-free body butter formula utilizes botanical ingredients, including shea and mango butters, chamomile extract, safflower, almond and essential oils to soften and protect the skin while providing intensive, lasting moisture.
