I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I hate body lotion, and you can judge me for it; I don’t care. As a beauty writer, I know it can seem a little off not to like body lotion, but I truly loathe it, especially during the summer. Now, that doesn’t mean I’m walking around ashy, dry, and unmoisturized (what kind of animal do you think I am?) I’ve just made it my mission to find a super lightweight moisturizer that’s actually hydrating. And I’m happy to report that I’ve finally found one I love — and it’s on sale for $9 this week only. 

If you’re on the beauty side of TikTok and Instagram, chances are you’ve seen countless users sharing their love and obsession for Tree Hut’s Shea Sugar Scrub (also on sale this week). And those are great, but the real magic is in the beauty brand’s Whipped Body Butters. My personal favorite is the Coco Colada scent. It has beautiful notes of coconut, pineapple, and coconut milk that just remind me of relaxing on a sunny tropical beach every time I use it. 

But it’s not just the scent I adore; it’s how it feels. Tree Hut’s body butter truly has a soft, whipped-like texture that feels so light and airy when you scoop it out of the jar. As soon as I apply it to my skin, it’s instantly absorbed and rubs in effortlessly, unlike other body creams that are super thick and make me feel like I’m doing a total upper-body workout just to use it. I was pretty reluctant the first time I tried it, but as soon as it hit my skin, I knew this product was different. It’s super lightweight yet very hydrating, and a little goes a long way. And the best part is, it’s only $9 — well, for the rest of this week. 

Currently, Ulta is hosting its Big Summer Beauty Sale, and every week from now until Saturday, July 13, they’ll have tons of can’t-miss deals to help get your summer beauty game up. This week, one of the best sale offerings is 20% off the entire Tree Hut brand. This includes the whipped body butter I love, the cult-favorite body scrubs, nourishing body washes, lotions, and much more. But you’re gonna want to get in on this action immediately because prices go back up after Saturday, June 29.

And trust me, these are worth the deal. But if you don’t want to take my word for it (no worries, I won’t be offended), consider one of the plenty of five-star reviews. One shopper who, like me, was also on the hunt for a lightweight moisturizer called it their “favorite body butter” in their review. “This has been my favorite body butter for the past year now! I’ve repurchased it many times because it works as a daily moisturizer. Not too heavy but still moisturizing. I wish they made this scent with even more products!”
