Exotic Butters

Vegetable butters are obtained by the blending of natural fatty fractions of a vegetable oil. These fractions come directly from either the oil or hydrogenated oil or the unsaponifiable fraction. Vegetable butters are solid at room temperature but will melt at higher temperatures.

Vegetable butters are becoming more wildly used in cosmetic and skin care products, they are rich in beneficial nutrients. Butters such as cocoa butter and sal butter contribute to the viscosity and stability of emulsions, and they give rigidity to stick products such as lotion bars and balms.
