Avocado Butter – Excellent Ingredients for Excellent Products

 

For many people, avocado butter is one of the secrets to beauty and to healthy skin. There are many different things that you can do to help yourself feel better and look better, but using completely natural products is one of the best ways, because they can help you to look and feel your best at the minimum of risk.

 

There are so many different products out there that can do a similar job to that of avocado butter, so why use that rather than them? Why not use a synthetic equivalent that claims to be just as good for you?  To answer that question, let's digress for a moment to the vitamin and supplement industry.

 

You can buy vitamins, minerals and various supplements in a wide variety of forms in a wide variety of health food stores. However, what the experts agree on practically unanimously is that vitamins and minerals taken in supplement form are not as effective as those taken naturally in the diet.  Why is this?

 

One reason is that many substances work best when in the presence of other, producing what is known as a synergistic effect: they work better together than each would separately.  This synergy is not always present in supplements. 

 

Additionally, and probably even more importantly, many vitamins and minerals that are manufactured synthetically, re available in a different form to those occurring naturally; a form not so easily assimilated into the body.

 

So what has this to do with avocado butter?  This natural extract of avocado is rich in vitamins E, A and D, unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin, all of which are beneficial to your general health and that of your skin. It cannot possibly be argued that synthetic equivalents could possibly contain the same components in a natural form, and as easily used by the body as the natural substances are.

 

Hence, although synthetic skin care products can benefit your skin, they cannot do so as effectively and gently as natural substances such as avocado butter can. The butter itself is produced from the flesh of the fruit, not from the extracted oil. The flesh is hydrogenated in the same way that vegetable oils are hydrogenated to produce margarine.

 

The melting point is 30C - 35C, and so melts easily on application to render it very easy to rub into your skin. It is excellent for dry, peeling and cracked skin, and is also said to help to reduce the appearance of age spots on the skin. It is frequently added to sun lotions since it can help to protect the skin from the effect of UV radiation in the sun's rays - likely through the antioxidant effect of Vitamins A and E as well as its emollient effect on your skin.
