Argan Butter 15 g

A Dense Nourishing Base for Skin and Hair Care Formulations

Argan butter is produced through fractionation of argan oil, giving it a firm texture at room temperature that softens quickly upon contact with skin. This property makes it well suited for targeted use in personal care formulations such as facial and hand creams, lip balms, hair masks, cuticle treatments and dry-ends conditioners. Argan butter belongs to the category of butters, materials commonly used as a base for emulsions, balms and solid sticks across cosmetic manufacturing of any scale.

The 15 g size is intended for home cosmetic making and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test compatibility within a recipe before committing to a larger purchase. This amount is enough for several batches of lip balm, a small hand cream, or a trial hair mask. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants, argan butter helps soften dry skin, supports elasticity, and smooths hair texture when applied to the ends.

In formulations, argan butter is typically introduced during the oil phase, melted in a water bath at around 50-60 degrees Celsius together with other oils and waxes. The base should then cool to 40 degrees or below before heat-sensitive active ingredients are added. Recommended usage levels range from 3 to 15 percent depending on the product type: creams and lotions usually call for 5-8 percent, while lip balms and solid sticks may use 15-20 percent for a firmer texture.

Argan butter blends well with a wide range of plant oils and butters. A useful pairing in formulation is Babassu Butter 50 g, which lightens the overall texture and improves absorption, while Lemon Butter 25 g adds freshness and helps stabilize the emulsion. To increase firmness in sticks and solid creams, many formulators rely on Palm Oil 500 g, which regulates the density and melting point of the finished blend.

Argan butter should be stored in a tightly closed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees Celsius. Extended storage in warm conditions may soften its texture without affecting functional properties, though refrigeration is preferable for long-term stability.
