Booty Butter - Contest
5:24 PM Posted by Bits from a Brit
For ages, Hawaiians have been using exotic, indigenous ingredients for a year-round, healthy tan. Now, the secret is officially out. Tampa-based consumer products company, Bikini Kitchen, brings a tropical escape to everyone with its new tanning lotion, Booty Butter.
With all-natural ingredients from the islands of Hawaii, Booty Butter glides on golden brown and goes to work immediately. This innovative browning lotion turns the skin brown, not pink. Thanks to its blend of Kona coffee extract which helps draw sunlight into the skin and Kukui nut oil which is one of the lightest, most highly absorbent oils, you will see a noticeable difference in your tan in just one hour.
Booty Butter doesn’t just speed up the tanning process, it also keeps your skin revitalized and moisturized long after you have left the sun. Grown exclusively on the slopes of Hawaii’s Mount Hualalai, for generations local cultures have sought the healing powers of the Kona coffee plant which is renowned for its ability to mend broken skin and renew cells. Booty Butter also combines Kukui nut oil, Aloe Vera and light mineral oil to create the perfect recipe for silky, smooth skin.
The great folks at Bikini Kitchen are giving away a bottle of Booty Butter to one of our lucky readers. To enter please visit their site and leave us a comment telling us one of the ingredients in Booty Butter and your favorite fact abou the product.
