This Olive Butter is designed for topical use, and is formulated with pure, cold-pressed Olive Oil, which is very high in vitamins and a wide variety of nourishing fatty acids. Our Olive butter takes these properties and makes them easier to handle - less shine, higher viscosity, making it perfect to use as a balm base for the lips, chapped skin or as a linament base. Olive Butter can also be incorporated into an emulsion (milk, lotion, cream).
