Natural Butters

Butyrospermum Parkii

Shea butter is a highly moisturizing, soft butter that is widely used and sought after in the cosmetics industry. After being extracted from the Shea nut, the appearance of Shea Butter is a tan pale yellowish and carries a characteristic odour which disappears after a few minutes.
The unique fatty acid profile coupled with the butter's high level of non-saponifiables, makes it a highly effective emollient. Shea nut butter is also known to contribute to skin elasticity. It also contains vitamins A and E which help the skin from being damaged by the suns harmful ultraviolet rays.
Shea butter can be used as a stand alone preparation or in cosmetics, lotions, soaps and lip balms.

This butter is unrefined.

It is also an emollient; adding a layer of protection on your skin to help with moisture loss. Cocoa butter, when used in skin care products, can help to improve skin elasticity and skin tone, allow for better collagen retention and production, and increase hydration.
It is one of nature's richest moisturizers.
It can be used in anhydrous, oil-based products and in emulsions (creams and lotions).

Mangifera indica

Used widely in the cosmetic and food industries, Mango butter is an excellent emollient with high oxidative stability. Mango butter is a highly effective emollient due to it's high level of non-saponifiables. The mango butter is solvent-extracted from the mango kernels and undergoes a deodorization process. It is excellent for targeting dry, aged and damaged skin. Mango Butter has a greater level of nutrients and vitamins than compared to shea and cocoa butter, including high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, palmitic acid, arachidic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid and stearic acid. This light, non-greasy butter can help to supplement your skin and body products adding rich nutrients necessary to keep skin and hair conditioned and moisturized.

Food Grade

NOTE: If your butter appears grainy and soft it is because it has melted and experienced fatty acid separation which is common in butters if they get hot, melt and resolidify. Please heat gently, stir and let resolidify and the mango butter will go back to normal. This does not affect the performance or structure of the butter in any way
