Avocado Butter Virgin or Refined

Non-Hydrogenated Avocado Butter contains all of the properties of avocado oil in a soft buttery texture that's easy to use as is or an ingredient in body butter, soaps, and more.

Virgin Avocado Butter is made with rich Extra Virgin USDA Organic Avocado Oil and has a deep green color and smell characteristic of Virgin Avocado Oil.  The base butter is our Refind Shea Butter.

Refined Avocado Butter is made with Refined Avocado Oil for a white and scentless butter suitable for use in applications where you would want to add your own scent or prefer the white color.  The base butter is our Refined Shea Butter.

Note:  When ordering natural butter or oil, it is important to recognize that exposure to elevated temperatures during shipping or processing can affect its texture. In such instances, the butter may become liquefied, but it can be subsequently emulsified and rapidly cooled, resulting in a smoother, more homogeneous consistency upon solidification.  Additionally, a white film may appear on the top layer.  That is normal and is referred to as fat blossom.  It is a thin layer of separated fats from the product.
