Avocado Butter
Ultra-Nourishing Skin Revival from Nature’s Creamiest Fruit
Avocado Butter is a luxuriously rich emollient extracted from the pulp or seeds of ripe avocados (Persea americana). Cold-pressed to preserve its nutrients, this butter boasts a velvety texture and a vibrant green hue (refined versions may be pale yellow). Bursting with vitamins, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids, it penetrates deeply to rejuvenate dry, damaged skin and hair. A beloved choice for clean, eco-conscious beauty formulations.

- Fast-Absorbing: Lightweight texture that melts into skin without greasy residue.
- Vegan & Sustainable: Made from avocado waste, supporting circular agriculture.
