Facial Bio Butters

Butters are a product with a thicker and more oily structure than regular creams. They are solid oils with a creamy consistency that melt upon contact with the skin. They are naturally and artificially pressed, extracted from plants.

Naturally occurring solid oils have this consistency due to their melting point, which is 30 – 38°C. The origin of the raw materials from which they are produced is from hot tropical climate zones. There are only a few plants with such properties – cocoa, mango, shea butter, babassu and a few others.

Artificially pressed oils, on the other hand, are obtained from plants that are in liquid form and mixed with hydrogenated vegetable oils and plant extracts. Such oils include coconut oil, aloe vera, avocado, coffee, almond, pistachio, orange, lavender, and others.

Butters in cosmetics are a combination of solid natural oils that are broken down into a light fluffy mass. They may feel greasy and too oily, but thanks to their unique formula, they absorb quickly and easily into the skin. There is no sticky film or feeling of tightness after use. In order to withstand storage, without melting and changing texture, the product is further supported by adding oil-like emollients, waxes and fatty alcohols.

Solid oils (butters) have an intensive nourishing, softening and strong protective function. The plant from which the oil is extracted has specific properties, its own characteristics and effects on the skin. They help restore damaged skin, heal wounds and accelerate regeneration. They are rich in saturated fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, while liquid oils are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The body only synthesizes saturated fats, while polyunsaturated fats can be obtained from the environment. The main property of saturated fats is their ability to retain moisture in the skin or limit moisture loss, creating an invisible barrier, which is an excellent remedy for dry, sensitive and mature skin.

Solid vegetable oils better preserve the beneficial nutrients of the original product and are completely absorbed into the skin. When applying, take a small amount, melt between the palms and massage onto clean skin until completely absorbed.

They are suitable for body, face, décolleté, areas with extreme dryness, massages, after-sun care, as well as as a protective product during the cold months. The butters are concentrated and effective care.
