Ownership & Origin	Artist-owned by Michael A. Samuel, 34+ years in the tattoo game	Corporate-backed brand with large-scale distribution
Brand Story	Built from legacy, struggle, and community upliftment	Marketed for artists, but lacks personal story connection
Ingredient Quality	All-natural, vegan, premium-grade oils & butters — no fillers	Vegan and natural, but not all oils are ultra-refined
Signature Scent	Custom-blended essential oils: Lavender, Frankincense, Vanilla, Sweet Orange & Cedarwood	Vanilla-heavy scent, more commercial and synthetic-leaning
Healing Focus	Includes Sea Buckthorn, Calendula, Squalane, and Jojoba — all targeted for skin regeneration	Uses mango, coconut, aloe, and vitamin E
Texture & Feel	Balanced with Candelilla Wax for smooth, non-greasy finish that melts on contact	Softer, buttery feel — can feel oily in warmer temps
Brand Identity	Luxury, handcrafted, legacy-centered, Black-owned, bold and unapologetic	Mass-produced, widely distributed, brand-neutral aesthetic
Packaging	Elegant black & gold tins with branded interior box, thank-you cards, eBook inserts	Bright white jars with rainbow lid — more casual & generic
Purpose & Community	Part of Artisticbloodline’s mission — supports artists, offers free art classes, and reinvests in the culture	Commercial product — no clear social or community impact

🔥 In Short:

GLEEK BUTTER™ isn’t just another balm — it’s a movement in a tin. It’s legacy in a formula, and every purchase supports a real artist, a real story, and a real community.

GLEEK BUTTER™ vs. Hustle Butter Deluxe — What Sets Us Apart

🎨 Real Artist, Real Story

GLEEK BUTTER™ was created by tattoo legend Michael A. Samuel (aka "Gleek") with over 34 years in the game. This isn't a faceless brand. It's rooted in legacy, art, and culture. Every tin tells a story. Every purchase supports a movement.

Hustle Butter Deluxe is a solid product, but it’s corporate-owned with no personal connection to the tattoo community or culture.
