How do custom (Build Your BABS) orders work?
Request a custom blend based on your preferences, subject to BABS review and approval. Custom orders depend on ingredient availability, BABS approval and final pricing.
Custom orders start at an estimated $20 per 8 oz jar, with a five-jar minimum. Special ingredients, packaging, and other requests may affect the final price. All custom orders and final pricing are subject to BABS approval before payment.
For example, five jars start at an estimated $100 and ten jars at an estimated $200. Ingredient additions and removals, scent strength and special requests are reviewed and approved by BABS.
Custom orders require a minimum initial payment of $100 after BABS reviews and accepts your request. The final price may vary depending on your selections. If the confirmed total exceeds your initial payment, the remaining balance will be requested separately.

Unscented contains no added fragrance (Parfum). If you have an allergy, sensitivity or any ingredient question, please contact BABS before you order.
How should I store my BABS Body Butter?
Store your body butter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Because body butter contains natural oils and butters, it may soften or melt in hot conditions.

If you have an allergy, sensitivity or skin condition, please contact BABS before ordering and consider checking with a healthcare professional.
