Important note: Body Butters are prone to melting in transit during hot weather, especially when shipped ground and/ or not collected immediately!
They are whipped (like cream) to create a soft, spreadable texture. When Body Butters melt in transit, the air within gets separated from the oil base, making the jar *appear* less full. Rest assured that we never send “half empty” Body Butters. You are getting the *same amount* of product when this happens. None leaked if the exterior of the jar and label are not oily. Your Butter can be restored by putting it into the refrigerator and re-whipping it, or used as-is, whatever you prefer! It retains its magical and herbal potency regardless of air content.
Refunds or replacements are not given for items that melt in transit. Only the Client understands what the weather is like in their area around the time they order, what their personal mail scenario is (put inside a climate controlled building or likely to be left in a hot mailbox?), and what type of shipping they choose. If your order qualifies for free shipping, please add your preference as a note if you have one. You can also refrain from obtaining items that may melt in hot conditions by saving those acquisitions for cooler weather.
Thank you for understanding!

When I'm really feeling vulnerable and in need of support, this is a fortifying addition to dress myself with. Helps me to stay present with myself and to ground myself where I need to. It's bright and steadying.
Another winner from the DA lineup, although that came as no surprise. This body butter is so creamy, absorbs easily into the skin and is a perfect subtle layering influence when you want to combine DA with other powers, which I do often. These days I am always wearing some form of DA to work, and I find that this body butter helps keep predatory influences away from me (I am a young female surrounded by older men at my job) and keeps me in good standing with authority figures. I mixed some of this bb with a hand cream that I keep at my work desk, and it helps keep my hands 'clean' while also keeping them moisturized. Absolutely worth a big jar if you can swing it!
After purchasing a small vial of the DA anointing oil, I quickly purchased other materia in this collection. I find myself using it often for feeling grounded, protected, and calm. The body butter has a wonderful consistency and is very moisturizing.
Which may be your thing, but I initially found the scent a bit off-putting until I got used to it a bit (has a slightly musty, slightly-damp woolen socks aroma - thankfully it's subtle but definitely there).
It is *incredibly effective and gentle*, providing a very reliable energetic buffer which is great for daily application, but because of the scent profile I usually only use DA in this form when I really feel a need for more full-body application than the oil or even salve easily allow (for the record, I have zero complaints about the scent profiles of those!). Highly recommend as a great staple materia, but for me the small size BB does the trick as my nose doesn't often gravitate towards it
This is the materia I have worked with the longest and most consistently and to very pleasant results. Day to day, I don’t feel attacked personally or psychically and yet I wear DA to keep my boundaries and my energy clean. I work in clinical medicine and I know that to do my job to the best of my ability I require clean and clear boundaries. This materia supports and sustains the relative sense of safety I have cultivated through other modalities and real time therapies. If you consider yourself a highly sensitive person, I would direct you to this materia above all else. It seems to support healthy nervous system functioning (that’s been my experience). It doesn’t remove all sensation around threats or perceived threats but it does provide clarity and a sense of appropriate authority.
I’ve been using this body butter for protection during dream and astral work. It provides excellent protection and security, keeping yucky stuff far away. It pairs very well with Luna in Cancer, being a vigilant protector without interfering with important work being done by the subconscious while asleep, dreaming, on the astral or meditating.
I’m just now starting to use it more regularly in the daytime, for its other qualities. Very much looking forward to creating a great partnership with this strong, capable product.
I immediately feel a sense of protection and safety when I have it on. I’ve been applying it to my hands and back of my neck before leaving the house or before seeing clients and I absolutely love it. It’s creamy feel and gorgeous smell is a plus too!
This body butter got me through a very stressful family situation in which everyone but me was sick. I isolated from them as much as possible and I relied *heavily* on this body butter to reinforce my own boundaries and health. I slathered myself in it during the hardest days. The scent was so reassuring and the energy was strong. It helped me not panic at my situation. And I never got sick, either, which never happens to me! I'm so grateful. This is one of my staples as a result.
I find the body butter to be really helpful when I have to go out foraging in the wider world these days. I am less fatigued, physically and psychically, when I return, which is a nice bonus I was not expecting. I’m also less likely to make those impulse indulgence buys, which is funny and also helpful!
Good Stuff! I use it for shielding out in the world. I feel much more grounded, too.
What a treat the DA BB is! It is both soothing and protective at the same time. Jupiter’s influence in this form of DA is very noticeable - it feels optimistic and comforting. Glad I got the bigger jar, because this immediately went into my daily and /or nightly rotation.
I needed something to help me when I work with my clients as sometimes some come in to my practice with negative energy which can stay around. Since using the body butter of Deneb Algedi this has improved dramatically.
I got this BB for personal/bodily warding and interpersonal boundary-keeping, and it's worked miracles for both. It does work the way the write-up says it will, though. A local unhoused person had been chronically harassing me while I walk my dog. I was hoping he'd just be put off by DA and stop, but instead the local police swept all the unhoused people out of the area where he was staying (literally the first day I wore the BB, everyone had just been swept out). Not something I would have initiated intentionally! So I would advise to be aware that the mechanism of action isn't in your control and might not necessarily be something you particularly agree with, but it will get the job done. I've also used it for benign boundary-setting with colleagues in a new workplace, and it's been very effective at that without alienating anyone or compromising the friendliness of those new relationships. It's not the best-smelling S&S series, which is uncommon (the correspondences are what they are, what can you do!), but it's not a foul smell (I'd probably describe it as kind of musty?) and it fades quickly and is easy to cover up with perfumes.
This body butter feels like reliable frond who is there to calm you down and reassure of sucurity and protection. very pleasant smell that was welcomed even during my nauseated pregnant state. Equally good for morning or before bed.
I feel the BBs are a great entry into a series and wearable but not too intense-so good for day to day application. Note that this is for the first batch of body butter from this series so maybe the texture is different in recent batches, but my DA BB has a different texture I feel to the others I've tried (Regulus is like unguent, VAD is creamy, JEV is super melty etc). The butter is kind of thicker than the others but melts really nicely and moisturises well. I like the fragrance-to me it's reminiscent of eucalyptus or camphor, that nice kind of herbal medicinal, with a hint of 'spa'. I also apply this to my lower back/tailbone (I figured, it's the goat's tail, so I'll put it on my 'tail').
I feel a subtle but powerful protection when I wear it. Calmer and at ease when I feel I will be in a place that makes me vulnerable, walking tall rather than feeling twitchy and uneasy. I wear it when going out especially at night, and I feel it has helped me feel shielded. When I wear this, I also become a lot more conscious of protecting others as well? Like once I wore it to a festival and noticed someone had put his phone somewhere where it could be stolen, so I told him and he was very pleased that I mentioned it. Another time I noticed a woman walking alone at night and asked her if she was ok with me keeping her company, again she was grateful for my help.
Definitely a butter with very immediate effects!
This is one of the smoothest body butters that S+S has to offer and in my humble opinion the most powerful one I've tried. All of the DAII materia are musts in my magic toolkit (I gravitated to this series first), and this BB has been a lighter way to buttress the self against all the messy things the world has to throw at you. I don't think I could meaningfully engage with all the wonderful items S+S has to offer without creating the armor and support that this BB has to provide. One key thing to note is the smell -- I totally dig it (smells like a mix of sweet leather and herbs) but it is distinct! The interesting thing is that it isn't overpowering and absorbs into the skin very well, but I've noticed how folks react around it and maintain respectful distance. Win-win in my book, which is why the DAII BB is the first one I've used up!
For what it's worth, I've found it has been very helpful to focus on my feet and legs when using the body butter almost as if to reinforce my foundation. I also like to apply it to the tailbone and spinal column to help support my posture alongside my feelings of security. If you are looking for a good way to ease into the DAII series and you like the BBs, check this one out!
I love this body butter and I’m anticipating a re-order! It feels like a subtle layer of protection and safeguarding that is necessary or at least desirable in a myriad of circumstances—work, family, errands, you name it. I adore the hay-like scent and moisturizing texture.
I chatted about this in the client community, but I think it's a good share here as well. I was going through a ROUGH January and February at work, and at home. A cascade of health insurance snafus and reluctance to spend money at urgent care with a higher copay, and a masking of symptoms meant I was extra exhausted for weeks before getting some antibiotics. I actually in my exhaustion mistook Deneb for Empyreal Advantage...I mean, both labels are blue right? Deneb Algedi was so comforting and restful to me, leaving me with a feeling of "everything is going to be okay" before going to bed, that I used a small amount nearly every night for two weeks before realizing it wasn't Empyreal after all. Of course, Jupiter is involved in this offering, but at the time I realized it, I felt embarrassed that I had made such a consistent mis (judgement? application?) I dunno. I made apologies to both parties, but I really feel like the energies of Deneb and Jupiter understood I was in a tough spot and gave me leeway. I finally got to the doctor and got my semi-known problem resolved, but Deneb Algedi was key to getting me through.
I’ve seen it work before but I love Deneb Algedi so much that I just didn’t see how He could repel the wrong sorts of people and situations until I used the body butter on my face. I felt like a strong, confident bug zapper. Now I know!
The first time I tried this, the roof of my house developed two obvious, but previously absent, leaks. Not a lock, but definitely a breach of sorts. The company that had recently installed it came out and fixed it, no cost (appropriately) and no questions asked. On a body level, I appreciate the grounded "adulting" (love this description!) aspects that this confers, and I've found it's excellent for helping achieve deep sleep.
This has proven to be such a reliable and constant companion. Deneb Algedi has become my favorite choice whenever I need to feel more grounded and protected. The Jupiterian element adds an optimistic brightness that is also gently reassuring. I love the warm, slightly spicy scent of this body butter, and its mood of calm gravity.
Wow! I'd been suffering from insomnia and racing thoughts and a dab of this on my heart and third eye have really helped me be able to recognize what is and isn't myself and intentionally engage with thoughts on that basis, allowing me settled and restful sleep, finally! Highly recommend!
By far my favorite product from all of Sphere + Sundry. I blasted through this product. It has been great for many things, including but not limited to: protection from invasive and abusive family members, deflecting malicious energy, grounding, confidence, and securing boundaries. If setting boundaries or clearly defining them is difficult for you, I highly recommend this specific product. The whole line is great, but the body butter is especially potent!
Some of the most incredible body butter I've used. Its distinguished, regal, refined, confident, but subtle. It doesn't bring attention to itself but makes me feel both protected and assured. Its not a leonine confidence booster, but instead it has often brought me back into a more assured sense of self. The steeling of the nerves is a fitting descriptor, but I think it does so not so much by applying external steel, but drawing out the steel within
This body butter gently re-orients me toward the work of noticing, defining, strengthening, and enforcing my boundaries As a Mars in Cancer native, I've often let people trod all over me until I explode! A few hours with this materia reminds me that I am the only one who can define, communicate, and enforce my boundaries. A tough lesson worth learning.
I am late the body butter game, but wowza do I love this one. I wear it almost every day--just a dab will do you--right under my favorite pendant, which is a consecrated protective item, and it this whole series does seem to have a stronger effect than the first one, and it also demands that you be at your best!
DA2 body butter to me freshly applied smelled like I was coating myself in leather. Like sort of goaty too? Like I'm rolling around and encasing myself in a leather suit. Which is absolutely something some people want to smell like, and others may prefer to avoid. I have to say that about 1 hour later, I sniff myself and the only thing I can smell is some herbalness.
From another perspective ensuring that you're protected (lightly), and not enough to draw anyone's attention. When combo-ed with the kolonia or water & a TAL, it absolutely makes you more ninja than normal.
