Almond Butter
Almond butter is a deeply hydrating, spreadable emollient perfect for dry, mature, and winter skin.
Our almond butter is a blended mixture of almond oil and hydrogenated vegetable oil which modifies the rheology (flow) and creates a “butter” that is soft and pliable. This highly moisturizing combination is wonderful for dry skin as well as aging skin prone to dryness.
Almond butter exhibits excellent spreadability on the skin, making it ideal as a massage butter or carrier for skin care products. It adds moisturizing attributes to creams, lotions, bar soaps, and more. This ingredient can be included in formulations or used alone as a moisturizer.
