Cosmetic Butters are easily incorporated into skincare products and quite lovely as stand alone ingredients used on the skin. By using butter on your delicate, possibly damaged skin, the (right) butter will melt gently and be rubbed into the skin. This offers a beneficial protectant while conditioning your skin.
Cosmetic butters are used in skincare for various reasons, primarily because they offer skin nourishing and protective benefits.
Cosmetic butters such as shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter, are rich in fatty acids, which help to hold moisture to the skin and are beneficial for dry and/or dehydrated skin.
Butters Do NOT hydrate the skin (water is hydration). When combined with a water-based hydration, they become a magical moisturizer. They create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, sealing in moisture and preventing water loss, which is especially beneficial for dehydrated skin.
Cosmetic butters contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish the skin and promote overall skin health. For example, shea butter is high in vitamins A and E, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help to soothe and protect the skin.
Cosmetic butters have emollient properties, meaning they soften and smooth the skin. They help to improve skin texture, making it feel softer, smoother, and more supple.
Cosmetic butters form a protective barrier on the skin's surface, shielding it from environmental stressors such as harsh weather conditions, pollution, and UV radiation. This protective barrier helps prevent skin damage and maintain its health and integrity.
Cosmetic butters are versatile ingredients in various skincare products, including creams, lotions, balms, serums, and masks. They can be easily incorporated into formulations to provide moisturizing and nourishing benefits.
Many cosmetic butters are derived from natural plant sources, appealing to consumers who prefer natural skincare products. They are often extracted from nuts, seeds, or fruit kernels using cold-pressing or solvent extraction methods.
Overall, cosmetic butters offer a range of benefits for the skin, including hydration, nourishment, protection, and texture enhancement. Their natural origin, versatility, and effectiveness make them popular ingredients in skincare formulations.

Bakuchiol (Sytenol®A) Botanic Facial Oil Booster
Karen Nagamoto
So far my skin likes this after spritzing with hydrosol. Then I mix a little with sweet almond oil to help seal it in. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out like other products. Thank you!
I just tried the Pomegranate Super Fruit Hydrating Mist. Great scent. Great hydration for use throughout the day.

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
This product has unclogged my pores and smoothed the bumps on my cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my face. It does not work overnight, you need to stick with it for a while but it worked for me!

Superb for Soothing Sunburns
Love this. So simple but effective. I use it daily on my face as it soothes my sensitive skin. Whenever anyone in our family has had too much sun or a sunburn, we use this - it's incredibly soothing and hydrating. Even my picky kiddos happily put it on sun-parched skin.

Work horse in my skin care routine
Work horse in my skin care routine. Have used for years. I spray a few sprays after cleansing on my face, neck, and chest, then use the extra moisture it provides to spread my serum. Resets the ph of my skin, makes everything feel more comfortable, and cost effective. Love it.

The skin under my eyes is very sensitive and there are not too many products I can tolerate, but this has never bothered me at all. I keep it in the fridge and it's soothing and moisturizing, and does help somewhat with puffiness.
Thank you for your kind words, Tracey
