Earth Alkemie's Buttercremes are scrumptious blends of emollient butters that are lightly scented with essential oils and absolutes (an unscented Buttercreme is also available). Our Buttercremes are made with creamy, rich butters, including rare, certified organic east shea butter (which is different from the regular, common west shea butter). Earth Alkemie's Buttercremes are rich in antioxidants and nutrients. We recommend applying them to damp skin to help seal in moisture, and to keep your skin feeling soft. They are perfect to use all over the body, and some of them are great for the facial or eye area too!
Our Uganda Buttercreme, Vanille Lavande Buttercreme, and Chocolate Truffle Buttercreme are made with east shea butter. East shea butter is a subspecies of the shea plant. It is also sometimes called Nilotica shea butter. Most shea butter is grown in west Africa, while east shea butter is grown in Uganda. Nilotica shea butter is lighter, creamier, and easier to spread than unrefined west shea butter. It also has a lighter natural scent, and is a little higher in olein.
Earth Alkemie's Buttercremes are 100% natural and only scented with essential oils and absolutes. We do not use any synthetic fragrances in our products.
East shea is a lot softer than west shea: it may melt and become liquid during transit in warm or hot weather (when east or west shea butter melts and then cools, the texture may change. Changes in texture will not affect the properties of the butter). If it is liquid when you receive it, place in the fridge to cool and harden.
Allergy notes: Some people who are allergic to latex may also be allergic to shea butter. If you are allergic to latex please do not use our Buttercremes as they contain shea butter.
