Why Do We Choose Butter-Balm Formulations For Our Creams?

  

Creams, Balms, Lotions or Butters – you must have that one formulation that goes with your skin like cheese and wine!  

We too went through all the consistencies and formulations, apparently known to humankind, that are available naturally, before zeroing down to texture that made us go WOW!  

We believe in the power of nature to heal and restore balance to the skin. Each formulation is thoughtfully crafted using hand-selected herbs, potent plant oils, and trusted botanical extracts, chosen for their unique benefits and ability to restore balance and harmony to the skin. 

How Our Butter-Balm Composition Excels?  

All three ingredients, namely mango butter, shea butter and cocoa butter, are constant ingredients in almost all our creams and body butters, and there are several reasons we fell in love with these wonder blends!  

  • Deep Moisturization –  

Unlike many creams and lotions that contain a high percentage of water, butter balms are predominantly made of natural fats and oils, such as mango butter, shea butter, and cocoa butter. This results in a richer, more concentrated moisturizing effect that deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, making it especially beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin.  

  • Long-Lasting Nourishment & Protection –  

The occlusive nature of butter balms creates a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and promoting long-lasting nourishment. This sets them apart from many conventional creams and lotions, which may evaporate quickly, requiring frequent reapplication.  

Butter balms also provide a higher concentration of nourishing ingredients, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, compared to many creams and lotions. This makes them particularly effective at nourishing and protecting the skin, promoting overall skin health and resilience. 

We can swear by the nourishment provided by both our Amber Rose and Strawberry Crush Body Butters. Let us warn ya – you might not stop touching your skin after using them!  

  • Soothing and Healing –  

The rich, emollient nature of butter balms makes them especially soothing for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin. Their anti-inflammatory properties can help to calm and heal the skin, providing relief from discomfort and promoting a healthy skin barrier.  

Our Kesar Cleansing Balm, Pomegranate Face Cream and Raatrani Night Balm, all have this balm-like texture that just melts into your skin.  

Pros –  A little scoop goes a long way.  

You won’t need to reapply again and again.  

Our oils are pure and butters are unrefined, so there is no adulteration whatsoever!  

Cons (if you may call them that) – We melt at higher temperatures! (just like any other butter or oil will without the use of stabilizers). So, we suggest you refrigerate them in warmer weather. 

Our colours and aromas may differ a bit every time, because well, we use no chemical stabilizers. You can know about the reasons behind this here.  

  • Luxurious Texture and Feel –  

Butter balms offer a luxurious, creamy texture that melts into the skin, providing a pampering sensory experience. This indulgent feel enhances the overall application and enjoyment of the product, elevating the skincare ritual. 

So, Why Mango Butter, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter? 

Mango Butter –

Mango butter is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids, making it an excellent choice for nourishing and moisturizing the skin. Its emollient properties help to soften and soothe dry, irritated skin, while promoting a healthy, radiant complexion. 

Shea Butter –

Shea butter is a natural emollient. It is known for its moisturizing and healing properties and helps to restore the skin’s elasticity. It also contains vitamins and fatty acids that support skin health and provide a protective barrier against environmental stressors. 

Cocoa Butter –

Cocoa butter is a luxurious emollient that is rich in antioxidants and has a velvety texture. It is an ideal ingredient for promoting skin suppleness and reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Its nourishing properties help to improve skin tone and texture, while providing long-lasting moisture.

We incorporate 100% pure oils and butters into our butter-balm formulations. Why? To harness the exceptional moisturizing, nourishing and protective properties of natural ingredients and offer a holistic approach to skincare that honors the wisdom of nature. 

At The Oil Chemist, we invite you to experience the transformative power of our butter balm formulations and discover the holistic approach to skincare that sets us apart.
