Farmhouse Fresh Moon Dip vs. Josie Maran Body Butter

lavenderfields · ‎12-30-2011

Is there anyone who loves Josie Maran's Body Butter and has tried the Farmhouse Fresh Moon Dip Ageless Body Moisturizer (A389982)? I love Josie's Body Butter but this new brand to QVC piqued my interest. It also has great reviews so far.

How do the two compare? Is the Farmhouse Fresh as moisturizing and long lasting as Josie Maran's? Are the Farmhouse Fresh scents light or strong, natural or artificial ?

Can anyone describe the Sweet (Sugar) Moon dip scent?

Sorry for so many questions! Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you

I haven't used either, but if you go to the Farmhouse Fresh website, you can choose three 1-oz samples of bath/body products for $22 (free ship at $50). Tons of product/scent choices, from Agave Nectar Body Oil to Whoopie Cream Shea Butter.

I checked the ingredients in the Farmhouse Moon Dip and think I will stick with my Beekman Body Cream which I recently started using and love. It's also a better bargain.

However, I have been using the Farmhouse Fresh facial masks for years, and they are the BEST! I cannot recommend them highly enough. I hope QVC will expand the line from FHF and offer some good deals on their masks in the future.

Hi, @lavenderfields ! A friend gave me a jar of Farm House Fresh Mellow Moon Dip for Christmas a couple of years ago. The Mellow Moon Dip has CBD in it but I've only found it available in salons, not even the FHF website. I love the scent of it and the moisturization. I have other FHF products and I find them all wonderful. Sadly, I won't purchase Josie Maran products after my experience with her Illuminating Body Butter where she claimed it wouldn't transfer to other fabric after application; I have an upholstered chair that proves otherwise. Sorry, I just can't trust anything she says. JMHO.

I discovered Farmhouse Fresh through my hair salon. I have come to LOVE their products! I'm a body lotion fanatic. Their lotions keep my skin so silky and soft all day long. Love their scents. And if you're a bar soap lover ( I am) their bar soaps are the very best! So sudsy and moisturizing. I'm always ordering from their website. FHF is a great product line!!

ID2, I've been using Beekman 1802 bar soaps and I love the way my skin feels with the goat milk. I will have to try the FHF soap, since you recommend it !

Have you used Josie Maran's body butter? If so, how does the FHF compare?

Are the scents of the FHF lotions strong?

Thanks for your response .

I have both. I think these are two different products. I love Moon Dip. I have been using the regular scent direct from FHF for awhile. It is whipped, smooth, and glides on. It absorbs quick and feels great in all seasons. I just bought three of the new QVCs scents and I’m not fond on the lemongrass, but my husband happily uses it. I feel like the Moon Dip helps the aging of my skin. It looks and feels good. Josie Maran Body Butter, to me is a thick cream. I like it in the winter when I have that dry winter skin. I also like it on my elbows. It’s one of those fast absorbing creams without a greasy feeling. I think it too thick for my neck and chest, where Moon dip is perfect. Of the two, I like Moon dip the best. But, to be sure, these are different products.

The sugar scent is hard to describe. It is not a sweet sugar...I’m not sure If i would call it sugar. Maybe brown sugar? Once I use these from QVC, I’ll be going back to the regular scent direct from FHF... it’s so spa like. I love it. To be fair, I do have two more scents to try from QVC, but have not wanted to open them yet. Unlikely I will order harvest, but curiosity might get to me. The packaging is the same as the direct product from FHF. The only difference is that the direct version has a cute little scoop to take the product from jar (not needed, just cute). Overall, a great price for the product. I love most of the FHF products. Their masks are fantastic.

My salon has carried many Farmhouse Fresh products for years. When they started bringing in Moon Dip I was curious to see how it compared to Josie which I love. The Moon Dip is a much lighter body cream. It's fine for me for the hotter weather. When the colder weather comes I will use Josie's buttter. Moon Dip can also be used as neck cream but I find that I do that with Josie's too. The scents of the Moon Dip do have a nice scent but they quickly dissipate on the skin. You may have to try FHF and experiment for yourself. Everyone has a different definition of dry skin. Oh another point to make is that Farmhouse Fresh can be used on the face too and does contain Retinyl Palmitate.

@soonersis , I am addiected to FHF facial masks. One Fine Day is also an excellent scrub.
