  Emulsions, Butters and Body butters

  Posted by Kasunc on March 29, 2021 at 3:48 am

  Can I add butters (like cherry and so on) to my creams or lotions and what is the different between Emulsions and Body butters?

  Body butter typically contains no water.
  An emulsion…always contains water.
  Anything that contains water must be preserved.
  Butters can be added to either…all though if you get something called cherry butter….you are probably getting some yuck veggie butter with some cherry oil added….since cherry…does not make a butter.    (Better to choose an awesome real butter, and add some cherry oil to your formula.)

  @Graillotion, they probably just threw some hydrogenated vegetable oil in it.
