After 15 years in the beauty world, I was fed up. Toxic ingredients, false promises, and over-priced products. So we moved to Vermont and started Ursa Major: skincare that uses clean, forest-infused ingredients for real results, without all the BS of traditional beauty.

FAQs

How does this differ from other Golden Hour Body products?  

Our Golden Hour Body Butter is the ultimate moisture-locking cream— deeply conditioning and cushiony with a non-greasy feel.

In comparison, our Golden Hour Body Serum is a targeted body treatment powered by active ingredients to help support smoother, firmer-looking skin, while our Golden Hour Dry Oil provides lightweight nourishment for skin and hair with a dry-to-the-touch finish.

How and when do I use this product?  

Use whenever skin is feeling particularly dry, tight, or itchy, applying generously to damp or dry skin and massaging until fully absorbed. We like to use it just after showering or before hopping into bed, showing some extra love to areas that tend to get drier (like elbows, knees, heels, and legs).

Can I use this on my face?  

Golden Hour Body Butter is specifically formulated for use on the body, where skin is typically thicker, drier, and exposed to more friction. Its rich texture and replenishing actives help deeply hydrate and soothe areas that need more intensive care (think: arms, elbows, knees, and legs).

If you’re looking for something similar to use on your face, this formula was inspired by our moisturizer, Golden Hour Recovery Cream, so we recommend checking that out instead.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?  

While not clinically tested on sensitive skin, we have designed our products to work for a variety of skin types and have heard awesome feedback from folks with more sensitive or reactive skin. Of course, if your skin happens to be extra-sensitive, we recommend that you try patch testing before fully applying for extra precaution.

Is this product pregnancy-safe?  

Golden Hour Body Butter does not contain any ingredients that are commonly avoided during pregnancy, like vitamin A or high doses (+2%) of salicylic acid. That said, we always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider about ingredient lists and any new products during pregnancy.

Does this contain fragrance?  

Golden Hour Body Butter has a mild, herbaceous aroma of sweet Neroli, sour Rose, and Sandalwood that comes entirely from real plant extracts—never synthetic fragrances.

What if I don’t love it?  

We totally understand that skincare is not one-size-fits-all and that everyone’s skin is unique. If you are not satisfied with your Ursa Major products, you may return your product for a full refund or store credit within 30 days of receiving your order.

Do you offer free shipping?  

We happily offer free standard shipping via DHL/USPS for all domestic orders $40+ placed on our website. Orders below $40 will ship via DHL/USPS for a flat $7 fee. 

How do I start a return?  

Super easy! Just head on over to our Returns Portal, where you’ll just need your order number (the one starting with UM) and your email address or zip code to get started.

    The body butter I've been looking for my whole life (no joke)

    I cannot recommend this body butter enough. I have a very rare autoimmune disease that affects my skin, especially my hands, arms, legs, and feet. For most of my life, I've endured the cracks and pain that comes along with extremely dry skin. This is the only product that actually improves the health and appearance of my skin.
