Olive Butter 1 kg

Building Stable Skincare Formulas With Olive Butter

Olive Butter in a 1 kg package belongs to the category of Butters, which remains a steady choice for small manufacturers and studio-scale cosmetic producers who need a reliable, predictable ingredient. This butter is produced through hydrogenation or interesterification of olive oil, turning a liquid raw material into a firm yet easily melting mass that retains much of the nourishing character of the original oil.

The main use of olive butter lies in body and hand balms, lip care products, hair conditioners, and scalp treatments, where its texture provides both structure and a smooth melting feel on skin. The 1 kg format is well suited for small-batch studios and emerging cosmetic brands that need consistent supply for regular production runs without committing to bulk industrial volumes. It also gives formulators enough material to test several batches before scaling up.

Olive butter integrates well into solid formats for body and lip care. Explore the full selection of Solid Oils and Butters Wholesale to find matching ingredients. This supports consistent results in small-batch and larger production.

In formulations, olive butter is typically added to the oil phase together with other oils and waxes at a temperature of around 60-70 degrees Celsius, where it melts completely and blends evenly with the rest of the mixture. Recommended dosage ranges from 5 to 20 percent of the total formula weight depending on the desired firmness of the finished product - lighter creams call for the lower end, while solid balms and sticks benefit from higher concentrations. Olive butter pairs well with liquid carrier oils, lanolin, plant-based emulsifiers, and other butters, such as Sea Buckthorn Butter, which brings a rich tone and extra nourishing compounds to the blend. For firmer sticks and structured balms, Kokum Bater is a useful addition that improves stability and hold.

Beyond skincare, olive butter finds use in color cosmetics as a base for solid blushes and highlighters. It also appears in solid perfume bases alongside wax and fragrance oils, and in massage bars, where its melting behavior at skin temperature makes it a practical functional ingredient.

Store the butter in a tightly closed container, away from direct light, at room temperature without sharp fluctuations to preserve its texture and slow down oxidation. When working with a full kilogram, it helps to divide the mass into smaller working portions to avoid repeatedly melting and cooling the entire batch.

For lighter, more delicate formulas, a small addition of Lotus Butter can round out the scent profile and give the final product a more refined feel.
