Exotic Butter is a soft waxy substance that forms a solid or semisolid at ambient temperatures. These exotic butters are a group of natural fats with a high content of symmetrical monounsaturated trigtycerides. AH of these butters contain. 50-60% of saturated fatty acids, mainly stearic acid, and up to 47% of monounsaturated oleic add. The plants are generally tropical jungle crops and production volumes can fluctuate, depending strictly upon the whims and fancies of nature. Attributes: narrow melting point, high content of saturated fatty acids, high in oxidation stability, viscosity and emulsion stability, and contains many ingredients that are beneficial for hair and skin.

Cocoa Butter. An unrefined, food grade butter obtained by pressing crushed seeds of the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao. Cocoa butter is a well-known, valued ingredient in chocolate. In cosmetics, it is valued for its melting point, which is close to body temperature, its greasing and lubricating properties and emollient virtues.
