Natural Butters

We cover the full range of butters available from Holistic Emporium including shea butter (refined and unrefined), cocoa butter, mango butter, kokum butter, murumuru butter, illipe butter, sal butter, and more — giving you detailed profiles on each one's fatty acid composition, melting point, texture, scent profile, and best-use applications for skin and hair. You'll learn how shea butter's high oleic and stearic acid content makes it ideal for barrier repair and dry skin; why kokum butter's ultra-firm texture is perfect for hard lotion bars and lip balms; how cocoa butter adds water resistance and a luxurious feel to body products; and why mango butter sits in the sweet spot between hard and soft for versatile use in creams, butters, and soaps. Our formulation guides explain how to blend butters with carrier oils to achieve the right consistency, how to whip butters for a lighter, airier texture, and how to work with high-melt-point butters safely. Whether you're crafting a deeply moisturising body butter, a healing balm, a nourishing hair mask, or a luxurious lip product, this category gives you the knowledge to choose and use natural butters with confidence.
