DESCRIPTION
For centuries, the Babassu palm has been a staple in traditional Amazonian care. Today, its nourishing oil is reimagined as Babassu Butter — a smooth, velvety, and versatile ingredient for skin and hair care.
This butter blends Babassu Seed Oil with non-GMO Soy Butter to deliver deep hydration and silky glide without the greasy feel. A lightweight alternative to Coconut Oil, it’s ideal for products designed for sensitive, oily, or easily congested skin.
With a dry-touch finish and broad compatibility, Babassu Butter is a natural choice for skin and hair care formulations that need gentle, effective hydration.
DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE
- Babassu Bars: Babassu Butter adds gentle emollience and a creamy feel to bar soaps. For cold process or melt-and-pour, use 1 tablespoon per pound (15 mL per 500 g) of base oils. Create a small test batch to observe changes in hardness, lather, and texture. Patch test your finished soap before full use.
- Light & Lovely Lotions: Use Babassu Butter at 5–20% in lotions and creams for fast-absorbing hydration with a soft, dry-touch finish. Gently melt before blending. A stick blender can help ensure a smooth, even texture.
- Balmy Days: Babassu Butter makes a perfect base for lip and body balms. Use at 5–100%, depending on desired firmness and glide. Blend with waxes, oils, or active botanicals for custom performance.
- Sole Support: Add 5–20% of Babassu Butter to foot creams or heel balms to deeply moisturize and soften dry, cracked skin without the greasy after-feel.
- Smooth & Manageable Hair: Use at 2–5% in conditioners, masks, or styling treatments. Babassu Butter helps smooth, soften, and add shine. This butter is a wonderful way to enjoy the nourishing benefits of Babassu Oil without weighing hair down.
