Hello Beautiful People! It's been a long time. Let's get right into it.

Why are body butters all the rage? One of the reasons is that it is very nourishing and GREAT for the skin without artificial ingredients to make the products. You see you can combine plant and nuts butters and oils such as shea butter, mango butter, kokum butter, cocoa butter, jojoba, olive, apricot, and other great carrier oils.

Body butters contains vitamin and minerals such as vitamin A, B, B12, C, D, and E, beta carotene and more. You will also find omega 3, 6, 9, triglycerides, and fatty acids.

Body butters can heal dry, flaky, scaly skin. It soothes and moisturizes eczema and psoriasis, even skin tone, and leaves looking healthy and smooth. Great for skin regeneration, anti-aging, fine lines, and wrinkles. Body butters are great for hair as well. Nourishes dry hair, seal cuticles, assist with flaky dry scalp, and great for skin dermatitis.

Let's take a look of some common benefits you can get butters and oils often used in body butters. There are many many on the market, we will just talk about the few popular ones.

Shea Butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree  (Vitellaria paradoxa). It is ivory in color when raw, which is often called unrefined. With more processed versions being white in color, although it is commonly dyed yellow with borututu root or palm oil.

Here is another I love. This is Mango Butter.

Mango Butter is a butter that is made from the mango seed. The pit of the mango. The crazy thing is, mango butter does not smell like mangos. It has a very low faint aroma. Meaning, there's not smell to this butter. It's smooth and creamy and a great alternative to shea butter due to its smoothness and low aroma scent. Here are some benefits of Mango Butter:

  • Mango butter is non-comedogenic. It will not clog pores
  • Treats eczema and psoriasis
  • Reduce the appearance of pre-mature aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles

  • Stimulates hair growth. Leaving hair thicker, longer, and stronger
  • Eliminate dandruff
  • Stimulate production of collagen
  • Brighten and even our the tone of your skin
  • Great for hydration. Leaving the skin supple, smooth, and radiant.

Now lets talk about Jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is one of the plant oils many use in creating body butters. Jojoba oil is the liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) plant, a shrub, which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. The oil makes up approximately 50% of the jojoba seed by weight.[1] The terms "jojoba oil" and "jojoba wax" are often used interchangeably because the wax visually appears to be a mobile oil, but as a wax it is composed almost entirely (~97%) of mono-esters of long-chain fatty acids and alcohols (wax ester), accompanied by only a tiny fraction of triglyceride esters. This composition accounts for its extreme shelf-life stability and extraordinary resistance to high temperatures, compared with true vegetable oils. wikipedia.com

Here is some great benefits you can find in jojoba oil and why many use it in their body butters. Jojoba oil is

  • Antibacterial
  • Jojoba oil is a great humectant. This means that it works to seal your skin with a protective barrier to keep it from losing moisture. This may help prevent bacterial infections, acne, and dandruff from forming.
  • Helps to control sebum production.
  • Non-comedogenic, which does not clog pores.
  • Assist with healing wounds
  • A great source of vitamin E
  • Great for collagen production
  • Anti-inflammatory. Great for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis

As you can see, this is some of the reasons behind the use of body butters. With moisturizing and skin healing benefits for both skin and hair, no wonder body butters have taken off! Unrefined butter and oils provide all natural ingredients, the pure form of the ingredient and great for those who are looking for natural alternatives for body and hair moisturizers.
