This week we’ve been trying a sample of J.R. Watkins Apricot & Pequi Oil Body Butter. Pequi oil, for those of you not familiar  is extracted from the seeds of  the Caryocar brasiliense plant which is native to Brazil.

The most notable difference about this formula, in our technical opinion, is that the primary moisturizers are Shea butter and some other natural oils rather than petrolatum or dimethicone. This gives the product a unique luxurious feel (although we suspect it may also impact its ability to moisturize.)

At $11.99 for 6 ounces it’s not cheap but it might pique your interest (or should I say pequi your interest) if you’re in the mood to try a new moisturizer.
