1. Material Overview

Avocado Butter is a structured vegetable butter derived from avocado oil obtained from Persea americana. The liquid oil is processed into a semi-solid butter form to enhance stability and formulation versatility.

This cosmetic-grade raw material is supplied exclusively for further processing and incorporation into cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Its semi-solid consistency allows formulators to combine the sensory profile of avocado oil with the structural advantages of a butter.

2. Physical & Organoleptic Characteristics

• Appearance: Soft to semi-solid butter

• Color: Pale green to off-white

• Odor: Mild, characteristic aroma

• Solubility: Oil soluble

• Melting Point: Approximately 30–35°C (may vary by composition)

• Texture: Creamy, smooth, spreadable

Natural variation in color and aroma may occur depending on source material and batch.

3. Composition & Functional Attributes

Avocado Butter contains:

• Oleic acid

• Palmitic acid

• Linoleic acid

• Naturally occurring plant sterols

• Tocopherols (depending on grade)

Functional Contribution in Formulations

Within cosmetic systems, Avocado Butter is commonly selected for its ability to:

• Contribute creaminess and body to emulsions

• Support emollient and conditioning properties

• Enhance spreadability in semi-solid systems

• Provide a softer structuring alternative to harder plant butters

• Improve glide and sensory richness

• Assist in lipid-phase balancing within barrier-focused formulations

Its higher oleic acid content makes it suitable for formulations designed with richer lipid profiles.

All performance characteristics must be validated within the final formulation.

4. Suitable Formulation Applications

• Body butters

• Creams and emulsions

• Lip care bases

• Hair conditioning systems

• Anhydrous balms

• Massage blends

Inclusion levels must be determined by the responsible formulator following appropriate stability and compatibility testing.

5. Storage & Stability

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Protect from direct light and excessive heat

• Keep container tightly sealed

• Avoid repeated melting and cooling cycles

As a structured natural fat system, texture may vary with temperature fluctuation without affecting functional suitability.

6. Handling & Manufacturing Considerations

This material should be handled in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Stability testing, microbiological evaluation (where applicable), compatibility assessment, and final cosmetic safety evaluation remain the responsibility of the formulator or Responsible Person prior to market placement.

7. Regulatory Positioning

This product is supplied strictly as a raw cosmetic ingredient for further formulation.

It is not a finished cosmetic product and is not marketed for direct consumer application.

The purchaser assumes full responsibility for compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and any other applicable legislation, including CPSR preparation, PIF documentation, labeling, stability testing, and notification procedures.

8. Interesting Facts About the Raw Material

• Avocado Butter is typically created by structuring avocado oil into a semi-solid form for enhanced usability in cosmetic systems.

• Persea americana fruit oil is naturally rich in oleic acid compared to many other plant oils.

• The butter form allows formulators to incorporate avocado-derived lipids into solid or semi-solid products more efficiently than liquid oil alone.

• The plant originates from Central and South America and is cultivated globally in tropical and subtropical climates.

• Depending on processing, color may range from pale green to cream.
