Argan Butter is made with Argan Oil and can
be a wonderful addition to cosmetic applications as well as a
moisturizer for direct applications.
Argan Oil produced from the kernels
of the argan tree, endemic to Morocco, is valued for its nutritive,
cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. Argan Oil possesses a
remarkable ability to nourish, moisturize and improve skin elasticity.
This oil is high in lipids including the omega-9 oleic acid and the
omega-6 linoleic acid. Argan oil is exceptionally rich in natural
tocopherols (Vitamin E), rich in phenols and phenolic acid, carotenes,
squalene, essential fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids and Vitamins A,
B1, B2, and B6.
Argan butter is made with this nutrient rich oil
combined with a hydrogenated vegetable oil base to form a soft solid
butter with excellent spreadability. The recommended usage of Argan
butter depends on its application and can be between 1 and 100%.

When adding butters to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to
gently warm them until the texture is soft enough to be incorporated
into the final product. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your
cream or lotion and drizzle your melted butter to fully incorporate. For
addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon per pound.
As with most raw materials, results may vary, so we strongly recommend
small, lab scale batches prior to any commercial manufacturing.
Recommended Storage: Please note that this butter should ideally be
stored in a refrigerator to maintain its texture. It will become soft in
warmer temperatures.
