Olive Butter

OLIVE BUTTER

Soft, creamy and all-natural, Olive Butter is a beautiful self-care essential loved by many for its incredible effects on the skin.

Derived from 100% pure cold-pressed olive oil (Olea europaea), this butter continues the great work Mediterranean natives have trusted for centuries, retaining the fruit’s rich, hydrating properties to boost beauty, skin and hair products. Those who love their Shea Butter will appreciate this product, a butter that feels and works similarly, quickly penetrating and deeply moisturising the skin to leave it feeling soft, silky and smooth.

Suitable for normal skin types, use Olive Butter topically as a massage butter or as an ingredient for home-made skincare applications, soaps and cosmetic solutions.

• Rich in phytosterols, tocopherols, squalene, and other natural hydrocarbons, Olive Butter works as an antioxidant and protects the skin against free radicals.
  
• High in essential fatty acids, Olive Butter helps the skin retain water to increase hydration.
  
• Emollient properties in Olive Butter soothe skin conditions and leave a silky, smooth finish.

• An effective product for hand and foot care, Olive Butter provides great support to skin and nails and is particularly caring for the cuticles.

How to use Olive Butter

Olive Butter is a versatile ingredient with a wide range of uses, including being used just on its own or within cosmetic formulations. Below are some popular ways to use Olive Butter:

• Directly on Skin: Olive Butter can be used directly on the skin - hands, legs, face, belly, wherever you like (externally)! This is the most convenient way for those wanting to moisturise dry skin and soothe sunburns.
  
• Facial Massage: To appreciate the effects of Olive Butter on the face, apply a small amount to your fingertips and use small circular motions to massage into the skin for at least ten minutes.
  
• Body Massage: Replace your favourite massage oil with Olive Butter for soothing and hydrating relaxation.
  
• Lip Care: Olive Butter is a common ingredient in lip butters and balms. Combine with other ingredients for a D.I.Y lip balm, or simply use on its own.
  
• Foot Care: With moisturizing qualities, Olive Butter can be massaged directly on the heels and soles of your feet. To avoid slipping, it's best applied just before bed, or before putting on socks.
  
• Hair Care: Its nourishing properties make Olive Butter great for conditioning hair roots & strands. Formulate into your shampoos and conditioners, or, for a quick deep conditioning hair mask, massage 1-2 tbsps of Olive Butter into damp hair and leave for fifteen minutes before washing thoroughly.
