Dry knees, rough elbows, and tiny bumps on the arms like "chicken skin" — very common problems in Egypt, and they get worse with winter, hot showers and dry air. The answer isn't a light lotion every few hours; it's proper hydration with ingredients that genuinely smooth.
Why does body skin get rough?
- Dead skin build-up on friction areas like knees and elbows.
- A weakened skin barrier from harsh soap and hot water.
- Keratosis pilaris: keratin collects around hair follicles and forms small rough bumps, usually on the upper arms and thighs.
Urea: what does it do?
Urea does two things at once: it hydrates by drawing water into the skin, and it softens built-up dead skin so texture gets smoother over time. That's why you find it in products for rough skin and keratosis pilaris.
Why body butter, not lotion?
Very dry skin needs a richer texture that locks moisture in. Natural butters like shea and mango butter form a protective layer that reduces water loss, which keeps skin soft all day.

How to use it right
- Shower with lukewarm, not hot, water.
- Pat your body dry and leave it slightly damp.
- Apply the body butter straight away to rough and dry areas.
- Focus on knees, elbows, heels and keratosis pilaris areas.
- Repeat daily — consistency matters more than quantity.
When will I see results?
- From the first use: noticeable hydration and softness.
- Weeks 2–4: rough areas look smoother.
- 4–6 weeks: improvement in the look of keratosis pilaris with daily use.
Important warnings
- Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding because it contains urea.
- Don't apply to wounds or inflamed areas.
- Patch-test on a small area before first use.
FAQ
Can I use it on my face? No — it's made for the body. For the face, use hyaluronic acid serum and a suitable moisturizer.
Can I use it after hair removal? Wait until the skin has fully calmed down, as it's sensitive right afterwards.
Does it feel greasy? The texture is rich, so start with a small amount and massage well until absorbed.
