Why I Love Milk and Butterflies Skincare

I’ve always believed that what we put on our skin should be just as intentional as what we put in our body. For me, skincare isn’t just about looking good. It’s about nurturing myself, slowing down, and honoring the rituals that make me feel grounded. That’s why I’ve fallen in love with Milk and Butterflies, a brand that goes so much deeper than skincare. 🦋

A Founder With Heart

Shirley, the founder of Milk and Butterflies, created this line from a place of love and devotion, not profit. She saw how women were constantly told by the skincare industry that they weren’t enough. Not pretty enough. Not slim enough. Not youthful enough. And she wanted to create something that broke that narrative.

Her products aren’t about “fixing” you. Everything she makes is rooted in holistic healing, the wisdom of nature, and the belief that skincare can be a sacred act of self-love… and that’s the kind of energy I want to support.

A Heart-Driven Brand

Milk and Butterflies™ is a US-based, heart-driven business serving customers worldwide. Each product is handmade in small batches in Florida, with 100% organic ingredients (which if you know me by now, you know I love) sourced from trusted farms. No shortcuts, no synthetic chemicals. Just True Flora botanicals in their purest state, combined with the power of aromatherapy oils that nourish the skin.

When I use these products, I can literally feel the difference.

The Day Face Serum

This serum has become a staple in my morning routine. I love how it instantly brightens my skin with vitamin C and leaves me feeling fresh and glowy before I even think about makeup. Hyaluronic acid gives me that dewy, plump look, while vegan collagen makes my skin feel firmer. I’ve noticed that on mornings I use it, I feel more confident jumping into Zoom calls or heading out without foundation. It gives me that natural glow that feels like me at my best.

The Night Face Serum

At night, this serum feels like a reset button. I’ve tried retinol before and had issues with irritation, but their vegan retinol formula is so gentle and effective. When I wake up, my skin looks smoother, more even, and refreshed. Some mornings I honestly don’t even feel the need for concealer, and for me, that’s huge. It’s like my skin had its own self-care session while I slept.

The Body Oil

This is my personal favorite. The scent is unforgettable. All of it comes together in a way that feels both luxurious and grounding. After a shower, I apply it and instantly feel like I’m getting a spa treatment at home. Beyond the beautiful scent, the blend of coconut oil and vitamin E leaves my skin soft and nourished for days.

Why I Love It

Milk and Butterflies is is crafted with organic ingredients that honor the earth and your skin.

I use these products not only because they work, but because they align with my values. I know every purchase supports a brand that truly cares about women, wellness, and the belief that we are already enough.
