The benefits of vegetable butters
Vegetable butters are butters made from plants or trees, which have properties similar to those of vegetable oils. However, unlike vegetable oils, they do not come in liquid form but in solid and creamy form. They are mainly used in cosmetics and some of them can even find their place in your kitchen.
Among the best-known vegetable butters, we find avocado butter, cocoa butter, mango butter and, of course, the essential organic Coconut and Shea butters . These have been used for centuries for their many virtues.
THE Coconut butter organic and raw, deeply nourishes and protects the skin and hair. It is particularly suitable for normal to dry skin as well as damaged hair. This vegetable butter also turns out to be an excellent after-sun treatment. So remember to slip it into your beauty bag this summer!
