Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from 'body' (the part of the person) + 'butter' (a rich, creamy substance): a B1 learner who knows both words can reasonably infer a butter-like product applied to the body, i.e. a thick moisturizer. The use of 'butter' as a texture/metaphor in product names is common and follows transparent compounding patterns in English.
Etymology
The compound noun body butter was named because these products are very thick and smooth, like real butter, and they are made for the body. One popular idea is that calling it 'butter' gives the image of a rich, 'thick cream' that helps keep skin soft, so body butter today means a heavy, nourishing skin cream.
