Shea Butter & Co: a Portrait of Plant Butters

Why plant butters nourish so richly — and which suits what.

Rich by Nature

Plant butters like shea or cocoa butter are solid at room temperature and melt on contact with skin. They wrap the skin in a protective film and deliver intense moisture.

Which Suits Whom

Shea butter is an all-rounder for dry skin. Cocoa butter is especially rich and delicately scented. Mango butter absorbs a little faster and suits lighter textures.

In the Right Amount

Rich doesn’t mean heavy: in well-balanced formulations, plant butters bring suppleness without weighing the skin down.
