What Potters' Skin Butter users are saying...

Tracie Hervy Ceramics

Excerpt from Harper's Bazaar May 2021 interview with Ariana Marsh:
" 'I wash my hands 10 times a day or more, and if I'm working with clay that has grog in it, it's brutal.' For relief, Hervy turns to Cara Mae's [Potters'] Skin Butter. 'It's moisture that lasts. You can use a little, and it's not greasy or oily -- it feels like your hands should feel.' "

Sarah Wells Rolland Potter and Educator Portrait

"Being a full time potter I use skin lotions every day. Since discovering Cara Mae Potters' Skin Butter I no longer need to buy lotions in super large bottles.  Just the smallest amount of Cara Mae Potters' Skin Butter has amazing results. We consistently sell Cara Mae Potters' Skin Butter both to potters and our customers. As one who has been using and selling this product for years I highly recommend it."

-Sarah Wells Rolland, potter and owner of The Village Potters in Asheville, NC, thevillagepotters.com

"I keep a jar of Tangerine in purse at all times! It's my favorite whether it's when I have been working with clay or just whenever my hands feel dry. It smells so happy and always lifts my spirits while it helps my super dry hands so they don't get painful cracks and redness. Sensitive skin was a constant battle working in clay until I found this lotion. It's the best!"

-Jillian White of Tallahassee, FL


"This all-around lotion is fast becoming one of my most used products in my daily beauty routine. It's non-greasy but extremely moisturizing; I have very dry skin (especially in the harsh Midwest winters), and it's a struggle to find an affordable body lotion that doesn't dry my skin out more or need to be reapplied every few hours."

-Kari R. of Asheville, NC


"I just have to say I love Cara Mae Potters' Skin Butter! My favorite scent is lavender and it's the only lotion I'll use on my face. Also my son Atticus is two and a half months old and this is the only lotion I'll use on his sensitive body after a bath. He enjoys it as much as his mommy does! Thank you Cara!"

-Natalie Hewitt of Asheville, NC, also the current record-holder of using up a 4oz jar in 2 weeks flat!


"People always ask me what I use on my hands. Potters' Skin Butter is fantastic and is designed specifically for potters who have their hands in water and glazes. It heals and soothes after a long days work. You will love the fresh herb aromas and the way it softens your hands!"

"It's really the only thing that works!"

-Gail Tipton of Vinyard Haven, MA, Sculptor and former potter

"This stuff was designed for potters, and is great for anyone who suffers from dry skin or works with their hands. When you rub it into your hands, it feels like putting on invisible silk gloves- no grease, just this instantly-hydrating, magical layer of protection. This is a gift I would give to everyone on my list- the unscented version is perfect for guys and the lavender and tangerine are divine. Where else can you get a lotion that contains no junk, and that's mixed in small batches by exceptionally kind, creative people who infuse it with their sparkling energy? Do it!"

-Adrienne Lynch, ceramic sculptor and writer in New Mexico

"I have to share a huge, huge rave for Potters' Skin Butter from Cara Mae Skin Care. It arrived in the mail yesterday, just in time, too, since we'd finished pulling weeds and our hands were a mess. Thicker than a lotion, thinner than a cream, it's just right for moisturizing my hands, leaving them soft and not greasy at all. And it's full of wonderful ingredients. If you have dry skin, please check it out!"

-Emma Youngdale, gardener and photographer in Arizona


"I'm an RN, and the fact that your cream is not greasy but keeps moisturizing despite repeated handwashing caught my attention.  I didn't have the opportunity to get up to Asheville, so I ordered a jar of your skin butter online, and I have to tell you it is wonderful! I'm enjoying the gentle fragrance, and the rich, emollient feel of the cream."

-Patty Vint, Registered Nurse in Hendersonville, NC


"It is the best hand cream, and it does last a long time."

-Piper Parker, Habitat for Humanity scheduling coordinator in Asheville, NC


"I am really enjoying the lotion and I especially like how it doesn't linger on the skin and isn't greasy."

-Pamela Lalik, chef in Asheville, NC


"Potters' Skin Butter lotion worked really well for me!  I used it on my hands, and even on my heels, and it performed wonderfully.  It "soaks" in quickly, and really does last after several hand washings. (I'm a teacher, and our school uses some pretty tough soap in the bathrooms, so when I was my hands, the soap really isn't friendly to my skin!)"

-Martha Morton, teacher in Jacksonville, NC

 

"I absolutely enjoy the Potter's Skin Butter. I have used many products over the years and finally found one that I love & works. I'm a nurse & constantly washing my hands at home & work & suffering with dry chapped & cracked skin & hands. Your Potter's cream healed them overnight & was so soothing & comforting. What an amazing product. Won't use anything else. Thanks. Please everyone, tell your friends & save time by looking no further for any other creams & lotions. This one is a winner & works."

-Anna Marie Alcott, nurse in in New Jersey
