Avocado butter is a rich creamy soft butter obtained from cold pressed avocado oil which is then hydrogenated. It is ideal as a massaging tool and for hair treatment products.

A great moisturiser for after sun care and to add to lip balms, creams, lotions and soap.

Unless otherwise stated, our exotic butters are natural and unrefined.

NATURAL + UNREFINED:  We work directly with cooperatives and artisanal producers who process our range of pure natural raw butters without the use of chemicals.  Some of these are organic in nature and filtered for use retaining the natural characteristic scent and quality. 


We sell our range of exotic butters by weight. Since most of these butters are not re-melted for sale, we use slightly bigger jars.

UNDERSTANDING BUTTERS: Most butters and oils are made up of two components - olein (liquid) and stearin (stearic). This is why some butters easily melt depending on the amount of olein and some solidify under colder temperatures depending on the amount of stearin. This does not affect the product in anyway.

Butters are mainly naturally occurring. However, there are new butters emerging within the cosmetic industry due to market trends. These butters are vegetable oils which are hydrogenated. Hydrogenation yields a saturated butter and these include but not limited to Almond butter, Avocado butter, Coffee butter, Hemp butter, Macadamia butter, Olive butter, Ricebran butter, ..... the list goes on

Naturally occurring butter on the other hand are normally pressed from seeds and do not go through any hydrogenation:
Cocoa, Cupuaçu, Kombo, Mango, Murumuru, Shea, etc.
These are all solid at room temperature depending on both the palmitic and stearic acid content and need heat to melt.

Cocoa butter has 33% stearic and 25% palmitic acid compared to shea butter with 40% stearic and 4% palmitic acid. Looking at these two profiles, cocoa butter is more of a solid butter than shea which makes the latter more easy to apply.  However, due to the high stearic content of shea, the butter becomes quite solid in very cold temperatures.

Unlike most butters, the texture of shea changes during the year.  Much softer in summer and much harder in winter. This does not affect the natural properties of the butter.

Love this product

This butter is so smooth and rich it's just beautiful on the skin. I use this as my day moisturiser on my face as it not too oily and sinks in lovely. It's beautiful under a matte foundation. Gorgeous on hair aswell after straightening to protect frizz and split ends.

Protects my hair

My natural now can't cope without it, I can really tell the difference if I miss this out of my LOC method after wash day or don't use when I do a twist/braid out. It's just everything.

Softening, a little goes a long way. Deeply moisturizes and protects the hair but doesn't weigh it down as some butters or creams can do.

You may have some white coating if you use too much but give it a bit and this will melt into the hair.

Soft and smooth on my hair

This is good stuff! I have not found anything like this on the market. I read the previous review before I bought it and she was right. This stuff is so smooth and soft on the fingers. When I applied it to my hair shaft It made my hair feel so soft and smooth. I cant wait until I use this for my twist-out. This is good for a moisturizing your hair in a protective style.

Soft and smooth on my hair, not greasy at all. Extremely good for strengthening your hair and closing the hair shaft in a protective style. Buy it !!! You wont be disappointed. I think it is the closest you will get to a DIY butter. Extremely authentic. My only negative is I wish I had bought more.
