Who We Are

Nice to meet you! We are Derek and Christine, and we know what it’s like to have sensitive skin that
causes reactions to everyday commercial products. That’s why we created Better Butter Care, to take the guess work out of skin care and make it easier to hydrate and heal the body’s largest organ! Also, you’ll get to smell like chocolate!

We’re located in Toronto, Ontario and we have owned and operated a tattoo studio, Lewis Family Tattoo Company, since 2009. Derek has been a tattoo artist for 30+ years so he knows a thing or two about the healing processes for skin and Christine has sensitive skin and allergies, not only to foods and fragrances, but to industrial ingredients as well.

We created Better Butter Care to fill a need for both personal and professional uses and because we wanted to feel 100% confident about the quality of what we use for ourselves, our friends, our family, and our clients.

Better Butter Care is made in small batches, by hand, to maintain quality control. Formulated with plant-based ingredients that are as ethically sourced as possible and whipped into a rich and luxuriously creamy body butter for everyday use for all skin types. Better Butter Care may have been created within the tattoo industry to replace petroleum products for the before, during and after of tattooing, but what we discovered is that the healing power of our select ingredients is pretty fabulous for other skin issues as well like; minor cuts, abrasions or burns, sunburn aftercare, dry or chapped hands and feet from winter weather, rough skin, flakey skin, cracked heels, cuticle care, bug bites, tattoo laser removal aftercare and some people have even found that it comforts and eases both eczema and psoriasis.

Care for your skin better with Better Butter Care.
