Back by popular demand—and bigger than ever—Fenty Skin’s Butta Drop Vanilla Dream Whipped Oil Body Cream is here to make your skin (and your routine) feel like a full-on indulgence. Originally launched in February 2023, this fan-favorite went viral for its soft vanilla scent, glossy finish, and intensely hydrating formula. And after countless requests, it’s finally returned in a limited-edition jumbo size!
“We heard y’all loud and clear!” Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna shares excitedly. “We brought back one of our most highly requested products—bigger and better. No shimmer, just double the size of our Vanilla Dream scent in our award-winning Butta Drop formula.”
Whether you’re already obsessed or trying it for the first time, this extra-large drop is just in time for the new season, and trust: it’s worth the hype.
The Formula—And The Dreamy Inspiration Behind It
Designed to pamper the skin while elevating your daily self-care ritual, the Butta Drop Vanilla Dream formula is packed with nearly 25% rich butters and a luxe blend of seven nourishing oils. It melts into the skin, leaving behind a radiant, healthy-looking sheen without any sticky residue. The addition of glycerin helps lock in moisture, while shea and mango butters deeply condition, leaving skin soft and smooth.
Inspired by Rihanna’s own love of indulgent skincare moments, she created this formula to be as uplifting as it is effective—a body butter that feels like a treat every time you use it.
“It’s my favorite self-care moment because it’s so pampering, so uplifting, so indulgent, and so easy. I wanted skin to look vibrant and healthy and feel hydrated and nourished at the same time,” Rihanna explains on the Fenty Beauty website.
Our BrownStyle Beauties’ Thoughts
Of course, we had to put the viral favorite to the test ourselves. From the jumbo size to the rich texture and the just-right vanilla scent, here’s what our editors and contributors had to say after working this dreamy butter into their routines.
Emerald Elitou, Creative Director
“Taking a moment to indulge in my body care routine is one of my favorite parts of the day, and this body butter makes it feel extra special.
The jar is huge—a generous 500ml—and I truly wasn’t expecting it to be that big. The texture is thick, rich, and hydrating, melting into the skin and leaving it soft, shiny, and smooth. It’s packed with 7 Luxe Oils, Shea Butter, and Glycerin, and my skin absorbs it easily.
The scent is a soft, creamy vanilla that’s perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too faint. I’m in my strawberry-vanilla era, and this layers so well with my current go-to, Yum Boujee Marshmallow by Kayali. Just know: I smell delicious.”
Jaii Nicole, Social Media Contributor
“When Rihanna said Vanilla Dream, she wasn’t kidding. Fenty Skin’s Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream delivers on every promise—leaving your skin intensely hydrated, silky smooth, and softly glowing. This viral favorite flew off the shelves within a day of its launch, and it’s easy to see why.
With its luxuriously thick texture that melts seamlessly into the skin, Butta Drop is rich without feeling greasy—perfect for warmer weather when you want moisture without the mess. I’ve been reaching for it daily, and it’s become a staple in my summer routine.
The scent? A soft, dreamy vanilla that’s just right. As someone who loves vanilla but isn’t into overpowering sweetness, Vanilla Dream strikes the perfect balance. It’s subtle, comforting, and layers beautifully with your favorite fragrance to complete your look and mood for the day.
And good news—Fenty Skin restocked the jumbo size on May 1st! If you’ve been thinking about trying it (or restocking), now’s the time to grab it before it’s gone again.”
Sisi Elitou, Editorial Assistant
“The Fenty Skin Vanilla Dream Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream is hands-down the best lotion I’ve ever tried. After a shower and freshening up, I couldn’t wait to dig in. The texture is so smooth and silky, and it rubbed in so easily—I didn’t have to work hard at all for it to absorb. That made the experience a 10/10 for me. I do recommend it.”
Aliyah Gould, Contributing Beauty Writer
“I’ve officially added this cream to my Spring/Summer body care routine for glowy, buttery smooth skin. Not only does it smell like a vanilla treat, but it’s also whipped and silky texture quickly melts into the skin, providing intense hydration. Riri, you’ve done it again!”
