How one gentle ritual can nourish your skin and soothe your senses all summer long.
Did you know that during summer time in the UK that we have on average 16 hours and 38 minutes of daylight? Crazy I know! I was checking the temperature the other day and came across this little information. So needless to say we are outside a lot enjoying the sunshine with winter a very distant memory. Plus it's rare in the UK that we have a decent stretch of good weather, so we have to make the most of it. So we are out and about in shorts and sleeveless tops and so are more exposed to the environment.
The summer sun can be drying to the skin, then there is the sweating, salt, heat and our bodies are then in need of extra support.
That’s where Wild Lavender comes in.
More than a moisturiser, Wild Lavender is a sensory ritual one rooted in memory, healing, and nature. Inspired by a childhood memory of night-blooming jasmine (also called "Lady of the Night") that only released its scent at night in our my grandmother’s garden in Jamaica, this body butter captures a feeling: soft air, dusk light, skin at ease.
A Night-Blooming Memory
The story of Wild Lavender starts not in a lab, but in a garden one that came alive only after sunset.
There was a flowering plant by my grandmother's window, one that didn’t look like much during the day. But at night, it transformed. The air around it turned almost sweet and floral. I was so amazed by this plant as a child. It was night-blooming jasmine, also known as Lady of the Night. It was a scent our I never forgot one that felt both grounding and magical.
Years later, that memory would bloom again not in a garden, but in a jar of body butter.
Wild Lavender is that memory reborn: a blend of calming lavender and uplifting neroli, formulated to help skin soften, heal, and exhale especially when summer heat overwhelms the senses.
Why Summer Skin Needs Extra Love
Summer can be deceiving. On the outside, we glow. But underneath, our skin often tells a different story:
- Sun exposure can lead to dryness, sensitivity, and inflammation
- Sweat and friction can cause bumps, rashes, and irritation
- Chlorine and saltwater strip away natural oils
- Busy schedules and travel disrupt routine, sleep, and self-care
- And for many, eczema and sensitive skin flare up in heat
In short: summer skin is need of some support.
Most summer body products are either too light to nourish or too greasy to enjoy in heat. That’s why Wild Lavender was crafted to be rich yet breathable, healing yet featherlight. It soothes the skin without smothering it.
The Power of Plants: What’s Inside Wild Lavender
At Wild & Rooted, we don’t create products to cover up skin problems, we create rituals that support healing at the root.

- Shea Butter & Mango Butter – deeply moisturising and rich in skin-loving vitamins, these butters soften dry patches and support elasticity

Each ingredient is selected not just for what it does, but how it feels, melting effortlessly into skin like warm sun on shoulders.
When and How to Use It
Wild Lavender was made for skin that craves a moment of restoration. Here’s how to make it part of your summer rhythm:
After the Sun – Apply after sun exposure to replenish moisture, calm redness, and prevent peeling.
Post-Shower Ritual – Massage into damp skin to seal in hydration for a lasting, dewy glow.
Before Bed – Let the lavender and neroli guide you into calm. Use on hands, feet, or pulse points to unwind.
Targeted Relief – Apply to rough spots, heat rashes, or irritated skin for gentle, botanical first aid.
This isn’t just a body butter, it’s summer skin support in a jar.
Skin Care That’s Also Soul Care
Skincare shouldn’t be a battle. It shouldn’t start with “fixing” or “flaws.” It should begin with reverence for the skin that carries you, and the memories that shape you.
At Wild & Rooted, we believe in skincare as a sensory, healing ritual, not control, not perfection. Wild Lavender captures that philosophy. It turns a simple moment of care into something deeper: a remembrance of softness, stillness, and home.
It’s a product born not out of marketing trends, but a child’s memory of night-blooming jasmine that only bloomed when the world went quiet.
Who Wild Lavender Is For
This body butter was made for:
- Skin that dries out in the summer sun
- People with eczema, sensitivities, or fragrance-related irritation
- Those who crave a body care product that feels like a ritual, not just a routine
- Women navigating burnout, stress, motherhood, or hormonal shifts
- Anyone who misses the way childhood smelled at night
If you’ve ever felt let down by conventional body products too synthetic, too greasy, too harsh Wild Lavender was made for you.
From Summer Staple to Year-Round Companion
While Wild Lavender was born from summer memories, it belongs in every season.
Use it to soothe winter skin. Use it to calm post-shaving irritation. Use it when your nervous system feels frayed. Keep it by your bed, in your bag, or on your altar.
Because once you experience a product that feels like exhaling, you’ll never want to be without it.
Your Summer Starts with a Scent and a Memory
Let this be your summer of slowing down. Of nurturing your skin the way your grandmother once nurtured her garden—with presence, care, and a deep belief in nature’s rhythm.
Let Wild Lavender bring you back to yourself.
Smooth it on. Breathe in. Let your body remember.
