Built From Demand. Rebuilt With Intention.
THE BODY BUTTERS is a Black-owned, woman-owned luxury skincare brand built around fragrance, self-expression, and the freedom to make a scent your own.
Founded by Curtisha Thomas, who also owns branding and marketing company Gray Segments, the brand began with one butter and an idea. Our customers helped turn it into something much bigger.
Today, we’re returning with a more thoughtful foundation and the same love for rich body butter that started it all.

One Butter Started Everything.
I’m Curtisha Thomas. Before THE BODY BUTTERS, I was helping other businesses build their brands through my company, Gray Segments. After consulting with five skincare brands, I kept coming back to the same questions: How does the product feel? How does the fragrance wear? What makes someone want to reach for it again?
My background as a chef made those details impossible to ignore. Texture, consistency, and the way ingredients come together mattered to me. So did the experience of opening a jar.
In 2020, I decided to create what I had been imagining.
The first scent was Banana Pudding. At the time, I thought it might be the only one. Then customers started asking for something different, especially men who wanted an option that wasn’t sweet. Summer Rain came next.
What began as one butter became an invitation to keep creating.
Then We Started Mixing.
During the pandemic, I spent hours in my office pairing fragrances, testing combinations, and discovering what happened when familiar scents met in unexpected ways.
One of my favorites was Banana Split: Strawberry Shortcake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Banana Pudding together.
That experimentation became part of the brand’s identity. You could enjoy a scent on its own or combine favorites to create something personal.
The possibilities kept growing because our customers kept getting curious.
You’re Part of This Story.
To the customers who ordered early, shared a favorite scent, introduced us to a friend, or waited for our return: thank you.
To our retail partners, creators, and longtime supporters who helped more people discover THE BODY BUTTERS: you helped this brand reach beyond the people we knew.
Some of you waited months to order again. I don’t take that patience, or your trust, for granted.
You helped me see what this brand could become. I’m excited to share this next chapter with you.
