Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Okay, I usually educate myself on things as much as possible. But am having a hard time finding information about this. Does anyone know if you can get a NATURAL olive butter, that isn’t processed with chemicals? And, doesn’t have added things like glycerin or beeswax to make it a “butter” ? Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi Jennifer, The only olive butter i've ever heard of is Hydrogenated Olive Oil and is available at Biochemica. I think you can go to thier site and read about what they have. hth, Margaret www.naturalindulgences.com Rhassoul Clay as low as $7.00 per pound! > > >Okay, I usually educate myself on things as much as possible.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi all, Olive butter is 100% natural and absolutely lovely. It's pale green and shiny (great in lip salves) and melts into the skin. Go well, Nerys On-line skincare workshops Mineral makeup www.neryspurchon.com -- Here is some information on Olive butter/wax: OLIVE BUTTER/WAX Waxy solid Green (almost iridescent) Characteristic odour - olive Melting point 40-50 degrees Acid Value 5 max Iodine Value (Wijs) 120 max Sap value 125-145 Chemical name: Olive oil and Olive oil unsaponifiables fraction Composition: Fatty acid triglycerides and waxes Hazardous components - None Additives - None Insoluble in water Soluble in natural oils and non-polar organic solvents Stable at normal temps and pressure INCI: Olea Europaea (olive) fruit oil (and) Olea Europaea (olive) oil unsaponifiables. This product is between a butter and a wax, and offers unique texturing properties: a special part of olive unsaponifiables creates a crystalline network which entraps virgin olive oil, leading to a superb velvety skin feel with good shine and skin absorption together with excellent spreadability, steady texture that will literally melt into the skin. Completely non-toxic, helps restore skin's suppleness and flexibility. 100% natural emollient: viscosity enhancer/rheological, Stabilizer, skin soother. Usage: 5-90% Recommended for Skincare in emulsions, Hair Care, Lip products, anhydrous formulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
