Sal Butter

Sal Butter, extracted from the seeds of the native Indian Shorea Robusta tree, is a natural, unrefined butter prized for its intensely moisturizing and restorative properties. With a smooth, dense texture that melts readily on contact with the skin, Sal Butter is a versatile ingredient that closely resembles cocoa butter in its application and benefits. It boasts a high content of beneficial fatty acids like stearic and oleic acids, along with antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for deeply conditioning both skin and hair. Its mild aroma and off-white color make it a desirable addition to a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Benefits

• Skin Moisturizer: Ideal for dry, chapped, or sensitive skin. Can be used directly as a body butter, in lotions, creams, and balms.
• Hair Conditioner: Nourishes dry, frizzy, and damaged hair, promoting softness, shine, and elasticity. It can be used as a hair mask or incorporated into shampoos and conditioners.
• Lip Care: Excellent for creating hydrating and protective lip balms.
• Protective Barrier: Helps shield skin from environmental stressors and prevent moisture loss.
• Soothing Agent: Aids in calming irritated skin, minor burns, rashes, eczema, and psoriasis.

How to Use:

• Direct Application: For skin, warm a small amount of Sal Butter between your palms until melted and massage onto desired areas. For hair, melt a tablespoon in a double boiler, mix with 3-4 tablespoons of your preferred oil, massage into scalp and hair, leave overnight, and shampoo.
• In Formulations: Incorporate Sal Butter into the oil phase of your homemade creams, lotions, balms, and soaps. It typically melts at skin temperature (around 31°C - 38°C), making it easy to blend into various products.
