This combination gives a much better texture whilst retaining the benefits of Avocado as well as Shea Butter. The Vitamin E is added to enhance the antioxidant qualities and keep the butter stable from oxidation.

  • Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
  • Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.
Avocado Butter combines well with Omega 3 rich oils such as Chia Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil and Kiwi Seed Oil to give a good balance of 3 essential fatty acids. This makes an even better product for dry and very dry skin.

HOW TO USE IT

Skin Care
  • Avocado Butter is an excellent emollient and is very nourishing, especially for dry and more mature skin types.
  • It is particularly effective for the dry and very dry skin types as it melts on contact with the skin and instantly softens and protects the skin, locking moisture in.
  • It’s low melting point means it melts on contact with the skin, sinking in to give a rich and luxurious skin feel to the skin. It can be gently melted and added to anti aging serums to enrich them.
  • Added to massage blends, Avocado Butter keeps the skin looking supple and radiant.
  • A small amount in a lip balm formulation makes it super nourishing.
  • Body Butters are an obvious choice for adding Avocado Butter to as it brings the benefits of Avocado Oil as well as Shea Butter.
Hair Care
  • Avocado Butter helps to soften and hydrate dry hair that is easily breakable. Only a small amount is needed to have this effect.
  • It leaves the hair feeling very smooth and silky without feeling sticky or greasy or diminishing the shine.
  • Regular use of Avocado Butter in hair care conditioners and hair packs conditions the scalp and encourages healthy hair growth.
