What are Buttercremes?

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.

Buttercreme Product Notes

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.

Chocolate Truffle Buttercreme

 

Like the best chocolate truffles, Earth Alkemie's Chocolate Truffle Buttercreme is scented with a decadent blend of heavenly cocoa, sweet vanilla, and other dreamy essential oils. Our fragrant Chocolate Truffle Buttercreme is made with rich, creamy certified organic east Nilotica shea butter. It banishes super dry skin, yet absorbs quickly so it is suitable for most skin types. Your skin will feel so silky, and deliciously scented.
Recommended for all skin types for the body, especially for super dry areas like the elbows, hands, feet, and knees. Also suggested for the facial area for dehydrated, dry, combination dry, blemished, and normal skin types. Some people with oily skin may like it too, especially if their oiliness is caused by dehydration. All natural and vegan.

Chocolate Truffle Buttercreme is scented with a rich, sensual blend of essential oils, absolute, and oleoresin. Dark, sinful chocolate is swirled with rich, dreamy vanilla, and just the right amount of fresh, citrusy, floral, herbaceous, green petitgrain Bigarade for a kiss of bitter-sweetness. A touch of spicy cardamon and floral lavender adds a sophisticated yet exotic scent.

Xiao (small) size is approximately 1.7 ounces and is packaged in a blue GLASS jar. Grande size is approximately 4 ounces and is packaged in a blue GLASS jar.

Uganda Buttercreme

Our Uganda Buttercreme is certified organic Ugandan east shea butter with vitamin E (aside from the vitamin E, no other ingredients or scents are added). It is naturally high in olein. Shea butter is rich in antioxidants including vitamin E, so our Uganda Buttercreme provides a double dose of vitamin E for the skin (from the naturally occuring vitamin E in the butter and also the one we add). It forms a breathable barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss. It makes the skin feel silky smooth, and helps improve the appearance of aging skin.
Use it all over the body to help soften and hold moisture to the skin. It may also be used by most people on the facial skin: east shea butter is one of Li's favorite ingredients to use on her facial skin and around the delicate eye area. Recommended skin types for the face: blemished, dehydrated, dry, normal, and sensitive. Some people with oily skin may also like Uganda Buttercreme, especially if their skin is also dehydrated and blemished. All natural, vegan. Unscented (no added scents).

Our Uganda Buttercreme is unscented (no added scents/essential oils, just the natural fragrance of the butter). Ugandan east Nilotica shea butter has a very light scent (much lighter than regular western shea butter).

Xiao (small) size is approximately 2 ounces and is packaged in a PET #1 blue colored PLASTIC jar. Grande size is approximately 4 ounces and is packaged in a PET #1 blue colored PLASTIC jar.
 

 

Xiao (2 oz): $7.50

Vanille Lavande Buttercreme

 

Creamy certified organic east shea butter is blended with fragrant organic French lavender, smooth vanilla, and sweet lemony and earthy notes. Our Vanille Lavande Buttercreme is high in naturally occuring vitamin E and also olein. Vanille Lavande Buttercreme will leave your skin soft and delicately scented!
Recommended body skin types: all, except the very sensitive (very sensitive skin may want to try our Uganda Buttercreme). Highly suggested for the facial skin and also eye area. This is one of Li's favorite products to use on dehydrated winter skin.

Our Vanille Lavande Buttercreme smells like heaven! Floral, high altitude French lavender and rich delectable vanilla lies at the heart of this fresh yet soothing blend. Lemony, crisp, floral, woody petitgrain lemon adds a sparkly, sweet note. With a hint of deep, dark, rich, dreamy patchouli.

Xiao (small) size is approximately 1.7 ounces and is packaged in a blue GLASS jar. Grande size is approximately 4 ounces and is packaged in a blue GLASS jar.
