A firm plant fat that reinforces professional skin and hair care formulas
Avocado butter is produced by fractionating oil pressed from avocado pulp until it reaches a firm consistency that holds its shape at room temperature. This makes the product easy to dose, transport and store on an industrial scale without the risk of separation. It belongs to the Butters category, which brings together dense plant fats that stay solid at room temperature and are widely used in skin and hair care formulations. The 1 kg pack size is aimed at studio workshops and small-scale manufacturers who need a steady, reliable supply of raw material for ongoing production runs.
The main area of use for avocado butter is the cosmetics industry. It is added to body and face creams, lip balms, hair masks and oils, after-sun products, formulas for dry and mature skin, anti-cellulite blends, and cuticle softening treatments. A separate application is the production of solid butter bars and localized-use sticks, where avocado butter is valued for melting at body temperature and leaving a soft finish on the skin. In pharmaceutical and dermocosmetic manufacturing it serves as a base for emollient balms designed for sensitive, dryness-prone skin. A smaller share of demand comes from the food industry in certain regions, where the butter is used as a substitute for other solid vegetable fats, and from candle making, where it softens the texture of the finished candle. In solid soap formulas the ingredient appears far less often, mainly as an additive to make the lather feel richer.
Avocado butter blends well with other solid and liquid oils. To increase the plasticity of a formula, it is often combined with Natural Fucus Butter, while Olive Butter is paired with it to boost the emollient feel of a blend. When a formula requires extra firmness and shape stability, for instance in sticks or butter bars, it is complemented with Unrefined Cocoa Butter.
Recommended dosage in creams and lotions is 5-20% of the formula weight, in lip balms and solid butter bars 10-30%, and in hair masks and oils 5-15%. The butter is introduced during the fat phase: it is melted in a water bath at 60-70 degrees together with other oils and waxes, then the blend is cooled to 40-45 degrees before adding heat-sensitive actives and essential oils.
Store the product in a dry, dark place at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Under proper storage conditions the shelf life in the original sealed packaging reaches 18 months.
