                  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

                  A pale to yellow solid butter with a slight oily aroma made from blending Avocado Oil (max 50%) with Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (25% to 50%), Shea Butter (5% to 9.99%and Vitamin E (0.1% to 0.99%). 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.
                  • Use 1% to 100%.
                  • 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.
