INCI: Persea gratissima

Escentia Avocado Butter - Refined is a plant-based butter made from the flesh of the avocado fruit and refined for a smoother, more neutral profile in formulation. It has an ivory colour, a mild nutty aroma, and a soft butter-like consistency while remaining solid at room temperature. This makes it a lovely choice for creams, balms, soaps, conditioners, and body care products where richness and skin-softening properties are wanted. It is a cosmetic ingredient rather than a ready-to-use finished product.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those wonderfully versatile ingredients that brings a rich, nourishing feel without being fussy to work with. It is especially useful when you want the softness of avocado in a more stable, butter-like form for everyday formulation.

Also available in Sample Sizes.
