The nut butters used in Cris n Curri's hair and body products are eco-friendly creams created from natural, plant-based sources such as nuts, beans, and even seeds. They don't contain any water and are thick and creamy - perfect for restoring your skin's moisture balance.
The butters we use include:
Almond Butter
Roughly ground almond butter is great as an exfoliating agent, but it can also be used to help your skin deal with UV damage to prevent premature aging.
Babassu Butter
The babassu is a Brazilian palm tree, and babassu butter is made from cold-pressed, sustainably- sourced babassu seeds. It's high in lauric acid and is easily absorbed into the skin without feeling greasy.
Cacao Butter
Cacao Butter is the pure, cold-pressed oil of the Cacao bean. It is similar to cocoa butter, but, whereas cocoa butter is made using roasted cacao beans, cacao butter is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans. Cacao butter is great at hydrating the skin and locking in moisture. Because it’s rich in saturated fats, it’s easily absorbed into the skin and can keep it feeling soft and smooth for hours after application. This butter not only moisturizes…it also helps to protect it from dryness and may speed healing of dry, cracked skin or chapped lips. The cocoa mass polyphenols in cacao butter has shown that it may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is rich in antioxidants and is often used to help lock in moisture. It's used to protect skin during winter months by acting as a physical barrier to the harsh elements. It has a distinctive, delicious smell and you can use it head-to-toe.
Coconut Butter
Coconut butter is rich in unique medium-chain fats that offer a completely different moisturizing profile to other butters. It contains lauric acid, a natural antibiotic, and provides various nutrients that can help calm your skin. Coconut butter is made from the meat of the coconut, making it an excellent natural exfoliant.
Hemp Seed Butter
It's important to note that, while hemp comes from the same family of plants as cannabis, it doesn't contain THC. Hemp seeds contain lots of omega-6 fatty acids, and hemp seed butter is easily absorbed into your skin, making it perfect for dry or damaged skin.
Kokum Butter
Kokum butter is easily absorbed into the skin without any greasy residue, making it perfect for oily skin. It also has antibiotic properties and is a natural anti-inflammatory compound.
Macadamia Butter
Macadamia butter is full of vitamins and minerals to keep your skin looking healthy and young. It also contains lots of flavonoids that help protect your skin from free radical damage, and it has a creamy texture, making it a pleasure to apply.
Mango Seed Butter
Mango seed butter contains vitamin A, C, and E, all of which have proven antioxidant properties. It is excellent for skin that doesn't need a lot of extra moisture but can benefit from anti-aging properties.
Olive Butter
Olive butter can be sold on its own or in combination with shea or coconut butter for an extra creamy texture. Olive oil is rich in vitamins and minerals, has been shown to lower inflammation, and is perfect for dry skin.
Shea Butter
Shea butter is one of the most well-known nut butters—and with good reason. Not only is it rich in nutritious fatty acids, but it also has anti-inflammatory properties, ideal for damaged and irritated skin. It's also rich in vitamin E and can help fight the effects of aging.
