Body Custard vs. Body Lotion: What’s the Difference and Which One Is Right for You?
Share
When it comes to keeping your skin soft and nourished, moisturizers are a must, but not all moisturizers are created equal.
Two of Frella’s most-loved products are our Body Custards and Body Lotions.
Both hydrate and protect, but they each shine in different ways.
Here’s how to choose the perfect one for your skin.
Texture & Feel
Body Custard
Think of body custard like dessert for your skin: rich, velvety, and indulgent.
It’s whipped to a creamy consistency that melts in slowly, creating a soft, protective layer that lasts.
Because it’s thicker and more concentrated, a little goes a long way.
Body Lotion
Lotion is lighter and more fluid.
It glides on easily and absorbs quickly, leaving skin hydrated but never heavy or greasy—perfect when you need to dress and go.
Hydration Power
-
Custard: Deeply hydrating and long-lasting. Ideal for dry climates, cold seasons, or very dry skin that needs extra care.
-
Lotion: Provides daily hydration and is great for normal to slightly dry skin or for hot, humid weather.
Key Ingredients
Both formulas are crafted with natural plant-based oils and essential oils to nourish and protect.
The difference is in the ratios:
-
Body Custards have a higher concentration of butters like shea or cocoa and richer oils for an ultra-creamy finish.
-
Body Lotions contain more water and lighter oils, creating a smooth, fast-absorbing texture.
When to Use Each
| Situation | Best Choice |
|---|---|
| After an evening shower or bath | Body Custard for deep overnight moisture |
| Quick morning routine | Body Lotion for a light, non-greasy feel |
| Harsh winter air | Body Custard to protect and seal in hydration |
| Warm summer days | Body Lotion to stay cool and soft |
Many customers keep both on hand: lotion for everyday quick care and custard for weekly or seasonal deep treatments.
Frella’s Natural Touch
Every Frella custard and lotion is made with pure botanical oils and essential oils, free of harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances.
Whether you choose the indulgent Lemongrass Body Custard or the refreshing Ginger & Lime Body Lotion, your skin will receive gentle, plant-powered nourishment.
Final Tip
Listen to your skin and the season.
If your elbows, knees, or legs feel tight and flaky, reach for a body custard.
If your skin simply needs light, everyday moisture, a lotion will keep it soft and happy.
