Butter oils in cosmetics – Gentle care with a velvety finish

Butter - is a solid, creamy vegetable oil that begins to melt when it hits the skin. It is obtained from oil-bearing plants. It is widely used in cosmetics, massages, aromatherapy.
Types of solid oils.
Butter oils are of two types:
1. Naturally pressed. The properties of some plant species allow the production of solid oils by traditional pressing without additional technological processes and components.
Solid oils of natural origin have this consistency due to their "refractory" (melting point 30-38°). This is due to the place of origin of the raw materials from which the oil is produced. Usually these are hot tropical countries and there are not so many plants with such properties - cocoa, mango, shea (karite), babassu and some others.
Basically, butter is the same oil, only of animal origin. If it is placed on heat, it will begin to melt. This is for a better understanding of the structure and characteristics of solid oils.
2. Artificially pressed oils are obtained from plants whose oil is in liquid form. To give it a solid consistency, it is mixed with hydrogenated vegetable oils and vegetable pulp. Examples of oils: coconut, aloe vera, avocado, mango, coffee, baobab, pistachio, rarely citrus such as orange and others.
Both are active and have a beneficial effect on the skin, hair and body.
Applications:
* Creams, lotions, lip balms, hair masks, body oils, solid perfumes, soaps, etc.
* Ideal for handmade cosmetics, natural formulas and organic products.
