Butters are known for their ultra-nourishing properties. Some have even more little-known properties and can do much more for you than you think!
Summer has been terrible for our skin. We'll have to pamper our bodies as soon as we get back. But in the jungle of body care products you'll hear about after summer, those enriched with plant-based butters are about to make a splash. Let's delve into the secrets of plant-based butters.
Avocado butter
Often used as a balm or cream, in creamy treatments, avocado butter is excellent for nourishing skin dried out by the sun.
Ultra-rich in vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, F, and H), its nourishing, protective, and restorative properties are recognized. Choose this butter to promote cell regeneration.
Cocoa butter

Shea butter
Shea butter needs no introduction; it's bursting onto our nourishing routines. Face cream, shampoo, hair care, hand cream—it's everywhere. But what are its real benefits? It's the butter of the end of summer, for the whole body. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and F, it moisturizes, softens, and smooths the skin. It also has soothing, even "anti-wrinkle" properties (thanks to vitamin F and fatty acids).
Payot has combined the virtues of shea butter in perfecting, softening and relaxing treatments.
