Let’s dive into some of our favourite natural butters — and don’t worry, we’ve included some fun DIY recipes you can try at home!
Shea Butter – The Classic Multitasker
#SheaButterGlow
Shea butter is the queen of hydration. Packed with vitamins A and E and soothing cinnamic acid, it melts beautifully into the skin, locking in moisture and calming irritation. It’s brilliant for dry elbows, cracked heels, and even as a natural hair conditioner.
DIY Whipped Body Butter Recipe:
- 1/2 cup Shea butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup sweet almond oil
- A few drops of your favourite essential oil (lavender is lovely!)
Melt the shea butter and coconut oil together in a double boiler. Remove from heat, add almond oil and essential oil, then whip with a hand mixer until fluffy. Store in a jar and enjoy silky-soft skin!


Avocado Butter – Rich in Renewal
#AvocadoButterBeauty
Avocado butter is a superfood for your skin. High in omega-9 fatty acids, vitamin D, and lecithin, it helps improve elasticity and reduces the look of fine lines. Perfect for mature or dry skin in need of a little love.
DIY Overnight Face Balm:
- 2 tbsp avocado butter
- 1 tsp rosehip oil
- 2 drops frankincense essential oil
Blend well and apply a thin layer before bedtime. Wake up to plump, glowing skin!
Marula Butter – Lightweight African Luxury
#MarulaButterMagic
Marula butter is like a soft kiss for your skin and hair. It absorbs quickly, soothes inflammation, and improves elasticity. Ideal for delicate areas and amazing for taming frizz.
DIY Frizz Taming Hair Serum:
- 1 tbsp marula butter
- 1 tbsp argan oil
- 3 drops lavender essential oil
Warm slightly in your hands and smooth over damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends. Your hair will thank you!


Mango Butter – Velvet Light Moisture
#MangoButterMoisture
Mango butter feels like silk and is rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene. It’s light, non-greasy, and perfect for hot summer days.
DIY Brightening Body Balm:
- 1/4 cup mango butter
- 2 tbsp jojoba oil
- 1 tbsp rosehip oil
- 5 drops sweet orange essential oil
Melt mango butter, stir in the oils, let it set slightly, and whip if you’d like a fluffier texture. Smooth on for soft, glowing skin.
So go on — get creative in your kitchen, pamper your skin and hair, and enjoy nature’s silken touch!
