Shea Butter has a long history, and is now commonly used on dry skin, in moisturizing applications and as a massage butter by itself. Cocoa Butter is similar but with a longer shelf life due to its anti-oxidant properties. Mango Butter shares many of the same properties, only it is nearly fragrance free. For that reason it is used most often in formulations rather than as a stand alone product. We also carry several exotic Amazonian Butters.
