How it Started

By 2018, Megan had studied nutrition in college at A&M and had become a physician assistant for UTMB, but had not learned much about WHY people get sick, or what do to about it, other than vague "diet a lifestyle," explanations. When she had her first baby, Megan was shocked to see all the garbage in skin care products used on small children. She started looking for non-toxic options, but found them to be sub-par, or very expensive. On a regular afternoon in 2019, she and her baby daughter went to a neighbors house (Megan's “crunchy friend,” Laura Wise) who was making homemade body butter. It was awesome - glided on smoothly, gentle on her daughter's eczema, and best of all, NO JUNK.

Megan was INSPIRED. Looking back, this was part of her chain of events that led to her detoxifying her whole home and lifestyle. She became interested in holistic medicine and transitioned her career from conventional to integrative family medicine. She continued to used this recipe for several years, but over time added and adjusted the recipe with different ingredients to try to identify the best ingredients for different ailments - seeing what were the biggest problems people face in her day-to-day practice.

In 2022, she wanted to go to an expensive medical conference on pediatric immunology, but had already used up her CME budget at work. Not accepting that for an answer, she decided to do a little fundraiser and used the sales of her body butter to go get this education, and it worked! However, when she got back, the orders did not stop. So, after pestering from family and friends, encouragement from patients and their families, she made a small business out of it.

In 2024, she got pregnant with her 3rd child - yay! But she developed leg cramps that were keeping her up at night, which is NOT yay when you need to have a fully functioning mind to care for two kiddos and practice medicine at your job. She did some research and found that Epsom salt baths or topical dead sea magnesium chloride might be a good solution. What mom of two has time for a bath soak every night? Topical it was! But the spray made her itchy. So, she added it to her body butter, and it worked. Beautifully. Magnesium blends continue to be the most popular to this day - helping alleviate sleep problems, anxiety, constipation, muscle cramps, and even some cases of Restless Leg Syndrome.

This butter is always growing and maturing. Advice, comments, research is always welcome and appreciated. Megan commits to giving 10% of proceeds to organizations they believe in, and commits to giving the recipe for free to anyone who cannot afford the product and would like to make it at home.

The best body butter. I requested a custom order of Sweater weather fragrance with magnesium added. It’s perfect. My feet are smoother and my sleep better. Exactly as stated with high quality. This will be a staple of my nightly routine.
