Lotus Butter 15 g

A rare exotic butter perfect for small experimental batches

Lotus butter is a firm plant-derived fat extracted from lotus seeds and plant parts, valued for its rich content of nourishing lipids and its ability to create a dense yet skin-melting texture. This ingredient belongs to the category of Butters, which groups together plant fats with a melting point around or slightly above room temperature, making them convenient for creams, balms, sticks and other anhydrous formulations. The 15 gram size is designed specifically for home formulators and those who want to test a new ingredient before committing to a larger purchase.

The main application of lotus butter lies in skin care for face and body: creams, massage oils, lip balms, after-sun products and formulas for dry, dehydrated skin. Thanks to its dense texture, the butter works well as a thickener and stabilizer within the oil phase, giving finished products a stable structure and a pleasant, non-greasy glide. In fragrance formulations, this butter is used as a base for solid perfumes and aromatic sticks since it holds essential oils well and releases their scent gradually. It also appears in plant-based candle recipes, where solid butters are added to adjust the melting point and texture of the wax.

It is best introduced during the oil phase, melted on a water bath at around 50-60 degrees Celsius together with other solid components. Typical dosage ranges from 5 to 20 percent of the total product weight depending on the desired firmness and purpose. Lotus butter pairs well with other exotic butters: combined with Bacuri Butter it creates a lighter feel suitable for facial products, while adding Vanilla Butter enhances a soft aroma and reinforces the softening effect of the final product. Interesting combinations also emerge with Kombo Butter, which adds extra density and nourishing qualities to formulations.

Store lotus butter in a tightly sealed container, in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, ideally not exceeding 20-25 degrees Celsius. Under proper storage conditions, the butter retains its structure and beneficial properties for a long time. The small packaging is convenient for testing compatibility with other oils and active ingredients before scaling up a formula.
