The Beautiful Benefits of Butters: Cocoa, Shea, and Avocado

Many types of butters made from ingredients found in nature make your skin smell delightful and feel amazingly soft. There’s just something luxurious about cocoa, shea, and avocado butters. Don’t you think?


Cream Foundation

You’ve noticed them in your skin care products and cosmetics, but what else do you know about these butters? They’re similar in that they are excellent moisturizers that skin loves. Here are three common butters, a few of their attributes, and what you can find them in.

Avocado Butter

Avocados are rich, creamy, fatty (the good kind), and oh-so-delicious. They’re also good for you—your health, hair, and body. Avocados are packed with antioxidant vitamins A, D, and E, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids, for starters. As a natural antioxidant, avocado butter helps protect the skin from damage caused by environmental stressors. Avocado butter is also extremely moisturizing and softening.

As a key natural ingredient in cosmetics and skin care, you can find avocado butter in everything from cream foundation, blush, cleansing balms, lip glaze, hair products, body butters, and many more products. Treat yourself to the natural benefits of avocado butter. Your skin and hair will thank you.

Shea Butter

Extracted from the nut of the African shea tree, shea butter is another popular butter that contains vitamins and essential fatty acids. It’s great for moisturizing and nourishing skin and hair.

Shea butter is another ideal ingredient found in natural cosmetics because of its skin-softening properties. It also has soothing, anti-inflammatory traits, which may help reduce the appearance of redness. It may also help skin appear smoother, which some would say gives shea butter anti-aging benefits.

Look for shea butter in a high-quality restorative overnight cream because it will be packed with reparative vitamin A, which works to combat daily damage and signs of aging, and vitamin E, which helps restore and protect the skin from free radical damage. You can also find amazing lipsticks, eyeliners, and BB creams with shea butter as a key natural ingredient.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter is extracted from cacao beans found inside cocoa pods. Cocoa butter contains powerhouse antioxidants that help the skin fight off free radicals that can cause skin to look dull, patchy, and aged. As is the case with the other butters, cocoa butter is an anti-inflammatory that can help soothe, calm, and reduce inflammation.

Cocoa butter has that light chocolate scent, so it smells scrumptious on your skin. It also has awesome softening and moisturizing skills. Cocoa butter is an excellent natural ingredient found in whipped body butter, lipstick, and even ultra lengthening mascara for its hydrating properties. Cocoa butter and shea butter are often found in products together as they are good complements to each other.

To sum up, all of these rich moisturizers contain fatty acids, which improve the skin’s ability to hold moisture, vitamins (antioxidants) that repair damaged skin, and anti-inflammatories to help calm the appearance of the skin. Which are found in your go-to products?
