URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (Chambana Today) — There’s a new favorite in Urbana-Champaign’s skincare scene. Gelater’s Organic Whipped Golden Body Butter is quickly becoming one of the region’s fastest-growing natural moisturizers. The product often sells out at local farmers markets and is now available at three popular stores: Common Ground Co-op in Urbana, and Natural Gourmet, and Harvest Market in Champaign. The product line was a popular attraction at Illini Media Group’s Holiday Market at the iHotel last November.

Customers praise the body butter’s rich blend of cocoa butter, mango butter, and coconut oil for its ability to deeply hydrate the skin while leaving it soft and glowing. With rave reviews and growing demand, the product has established itself as a must-have in the natural beauty market.

Building on this momentum, Gelater is expanding its line with the upcoming release of an Organic Lip Balm. Made with the same nourishing ingredients—cocoa butter, coconut oil, mango butter, and beeswax—the lip balm promises to deliver the same level of hydration and protection, now tailored for everyday lip care.

Industry watchers note that Gelater’s rapid growth reflects a larger trend toward clean, handcrafted skincare products that prioritize transparency and natural ingredients. With strong community support and a new product launch on the horizon, Gelater is poised to continue shaping the local beauty market in 2026.
