Description
new! create your very own custom butter cocktail – this selection of butters is indeed exceptional and thoughtfully curated thanks to the shared wisdom of some of the most experienced formulators, offering a rich variety of textures and high-quality skincare benefits. This lineup represents some of the best and most luxurious plant butters on earth for advanced formulations, each with unique characteristics:
wild harvested cold pressed murumuru butter contributes a semi-matte finish thanks to its high lauric acid content. It reinforces the skin barrier, soothe dryness, and improve elasticity. t’s known among formulators as the ‘velvet butter’ because of its cushiony glide and barrier-repairing power. It absorbs quickly, leaving a feather‑light, satin film rather than an oily residue. This gives it a silicone‑like slip—ideal for clean formulations where no synthetics are used. As far as performance, murumuru acts as a natural thickener and stabilizer in glycerin and emulsifier‑free formulas, providing structural integrity with elegance rather than heaviness.
wild harvested cold pressed tucuma butter offers an exceptional balance of structure, smoothing power, and nutrient density. It performs as a natural silicone‑replacement, providing flawless glide, even pigment distribution, and a radiant finish—all without glycerin or emulsifiers. It improves tone and resilience, suitable for dry, mature, or stress‑sensitive skin. The lipid matrix supports cellular regeneration and balances moisture naturally. It is important to note that tucuma butter a subtle golden tone and natural sheen—ideal for enhancing complexion radiance in light‑to‑medium shades. It leaves a balanced satin finish: never matte—just the right luminosity for skin that feels nourished and looks alive.
wild harvested cold pressed nilotica shea butter is prized for its buttery softness, high olein content, superior skin absorption, and nutrient density. It’s especially valuable in a glycerin-, emulsifier-, and preservative-free foundation because it performs double duty—providing both structure and bioactive hydration. Nilotica is inherently soft and creamy due to its much higher olein (unsaturated oil) content—about 50–65 % oleic acid, naturally mimicking an emulsion without any synthetics. The balance of omega 9 (oleic), omega 6 (linoleic), and stearic acids rebuilds the skin’s lipid matrix, restoring elasticity and helping the foundation mimic natural skin movement.
wild harvested cold pressed mango butter melts almost instantly on contact, leaving a silky finish. This distinct balance gives it a light diffusive glide, helping pigments spread evenly for smoother coverage. Rich in oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linoleic acids, it replenishes the skin barrier, plumps fine lines, and increases elasticity. The balance between saturated and unsaturated fats supports both stability and deep hydration. This unique butter supports fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis, encouraging smoother texture and consistent hydration through wear time—especially valuable for mature or dry skin.
wild harvested cold pressed cupuacu butter can hold up to 440 % of its own weight in water, mimicking lanolin’s humectant behavior but remaining 100 % plant‑based and non‑sticky. This makes it an outstanding natural moisture regulator, even in anhydrous systems. It has an incredibly soft, pliable texture. Its balanced mix of saturated and unsaturated triglycerides enhances the skin’s lipid matrix, promoting bounce and firmness. The butter supports healing from UV and environmental stress, offering both barrier repair and subtle rejuvenation. Rich in beta‑sitosterol, polyphenols, and flavonoids, it helps calm inflammation, promote collagen synthesis, and restore barrier strength—ideal for sensitive or mature skin that reacts to heavy butters
wild harvested cold pressed babassu butter tends to leave a slightly more matte or soft-satin finish. It naturally reduces shine without dulling the skin. This matte-leaning characteristic of babassu butter makes it a valuable choice for formulations targeting balanced oil control or for wearers who prefer a less radiant finish, while still maintaining hydration and skin softness in an emulsifier and glycerin free foundation formula. The presence of lauric and myristic acids grants antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, calming redness and irritation while promoting skin renewal. It supports the skin’s natural barrier without occluding pores, making it suitable for oily, dry, or sensitive skin types alike.
wild harvested cold pressed illipe butter is particularly valuable for foundation formulations where a natural, elegant matte finish with strong coverage and long wear is desired, without the use of synthetic mattifiers or emulsifiers. It contains high levels of stearic and palmitic acids which strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, lock in moisture, and protect against irritants and dryness—a key benefit for foundation wearers with dry or sensitive skin. Despite its richness, Illipe butter leaves a non-greasy, satin finish that balances hydration with a comfortable, matte tendency suitable for natural-looking foundations, adding both longevity and sophisticated texture. Its protective and moisturizing qualities support skin health without the use of synthetic mattifiers or emulsifiers.

benefits
the nutritional values of mango are in abundance, from vitamins to minerals to antioxidants:
vitamin c – this important vitamin reduces the damage induced by the sun’s uv rays, although it’s not a sunscreen, it protects against free radicals. administering vitamin c topically (through the skin) has a better effect for this than taking it orally. it can likewise reduce inflammation caused by acne and lighten the skin.
vitamin a – also known as retinol, diminishes fine lines by stimulating collagen production and lightening dark patches on the skin.
vitamin b6 – a water-soluble vitamin that reduces sebum on the skin (oily skin).
copper – reduces fine lines and wrinkles, lightens the skin and fights against damage from free radicals.
potassium – keeps cells hydrated to moisturize the skin.
magnesium – helps to reduce oily skin, acne, and rosacea.
beta-carotene – boosts immunity and protects the skin against bacteria and toxins.
vitamin e – a fat-soluble vitamin that’s famous for hydrating the skin.
vitamin k – a fat-soluble vitamin that helps to reduce stretch marks and spider veins.

benefits of plant butters versus synthetic emulsifiers
Synthetic emulsifiers, despite their technical precision, will never replicate the skin benefits and long-term performance of high-quality plant butters in makeup and skincare. This distinction arises from differences in composition, skin compatibility, and biological activity.
Structural and Functional Differences
Synthetic emulsifiers are engineered surfactants—molecules designed to force oil and water to mix. The same detergent-like structure that makes them effective stabilizers can also disrupt the skin’s lipid barrier, leading to transepidermal water loss, irritation, and inflammation over time. In contrast, plant butters such as shea, mango, and cocoa contain naturally occurring triglycerides, sterols, and fatty acids that mimic the skin’s own sebum, allowing for deep restoration of barrier function without disruption.
Skin Nutrition and Bioactivity
Plant butters are bioactive materials rich in vitamins (A, E, and K), antioxidants, and phytosterols that contribute to healing, elasticity, and moisture retention at the cellular level. Synthetic emulsifiers, on the other hand, are inert—they provide no nutrients or regenerative compounds for the skin. While synthetics can improve product texture and shelf stability, they cannot nourish the skin or interact with it biologically in the way plant butters can.
Sensory and Textural Qualities
Natural butters give formulations a soft, occlusive, and luxurious feel. They create a breathable barrier that seals in hydration while allowing skin to “breathe” through natural lipid exchange. Synthetic emulsifiers can mimic smoothness but often give a superficial or silicone-like finish with no long-term benefit to the skin barrier. Even synthetic “butter replicas” lack the complex fatty acid and antioxidant profile responsible for the deep, lasting emollience of plant-based versions.
Skin Barrier Integrity
Repeated use of products containing synthetic emulsifiers can weaken the stratum corneum, increasing susceptibility to dryness and sensitivity. By contrast, products based on pure plant butters strengthen and rebuild the lipid matrix through their biocompatible composition. This makes them especially beneficial for dry, reactive, or mature skin types.
Environmental and Ethical Considerations
High-quality plant butters are renewable and biodegradable, whereas many synthetic emulsifiers rely on petrochemical derivatives or palm oil–based esters that raise environmental and ethical concerns. As the beauty industry pivots toward eco-conscious formulations, plant butters represent the gold standard for sustainable, skin-supportive ingredient design.
In essence, synthetic emulsifiers can stabilize a formula—but only nature’s butters can stabilize the skin.
application
i created this balm as an alternative to my coconut bb cream for someone who needs maximum coverage and hydration. apply a few drops of my raspberry elixir to clean skin and massage in. let it absorb for a few minutes, then apply this mango bb balm with our smooth things over brush or clean finger tips. follow with my shilajit bio-foundation if extra coverage and mattifying is needed.
