Juneteenth is here, and it’s time to celebrate our true Independence Day with purpose, pride, and power moves. On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, marking a delayed but deeply significant turning point in American history.

Crowned Skin’s signature body butters are anything but ordinary. Each whipped formula blends rich, antioxidant-packed butters (like shea and mango) with deeply hydrating oils (such as jojoba and sweet almond) to soothe, soften, and protect skin. Infused with anti‑inflammatory botanicals and subtle pheromone molecules, these luxurious creams not only calm irritation and defend against environmental stressors but also leave behind an intoxicating, lingering scent designed to captivate.
