I have been using it for my scalp and hair, mixing it with Mango butter. It hasn't disappointed. My hair also wants moisture and that's exactly what these butter she's given me. It also locks in the moisture.
Thenni decided to try it my skin because I have a very dry skin. I am so happy to say that My skin has been glowing and the spots are fading. It feels soft and smooth and I am satisfied.
What an amazing product....I've decided keep my hair natural and have an afro....this product is amazing for afro hair.
I've melted and mixed with Shea butter...using it for both skin and hair,it's absolutely amazing
My skin just loves this butter on it's own, however i am yet to incorporate it with shea butter and essential oils for my diy body lotion
I was surprised at how hard it was (the same consistency as frozen dairy butter). According to Google one should be able to smear Avo butter at room temp and its melting point is 90°F / 32°C. I found that I had to use almost boiling water to melt it.
My original intention was to combine it with aqueous cream but I see now that it isn't as pure as I thought.
Would you please advise me on how or what to combine it with to make an easily spreadable cream for face and / or body?
Thank you
Dianne
Hi Dianne, most pure cosmetic plant butters will have a melting point of well above 32C. Butters typically need to be melted down to work with, unless you live in a very hot environment in which case they may become softer in the summer (it's also winter time now so cold temperatures = hardness).
You can melt the avo butter to liquefy it and then blend into your aqueous cream, or you can melt it and combine with other oils to create a softer skin butter/balm. We also have recipes on our blog so make sure to check there :)
