A soothing ingredient commonly found in most cosmetic preparations.

Cocoa Butter Wafers: These fair trade and organic wafers exhibit the same properties and
qualities as Mountain Rose Herbs standard Cocoa Butter but in a much more convenient
size which makes melting and blending easier. Each wafer or disc
measures about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter.
Illipe Butter: Expeller pressed and rendered from whole Illipe nuts (Shorea stenoptera)
this exotic butter adds regenerative and moisturizing properties to
your handmade creations. Illipe butter is renowned for its incredible
moisturizing properties and its ability to restore elasticity to the
skin. It is quite comparable to cocoa butter in its constituents, and is
beneficial for the treatment of numerous skin and hair disorders.
Kokum Butter: A highly prized and under-rated butter from the Garcinia tree. This
naturally white and incredibly smooth butter has enormously high
compositions of beneficial materials to help regenerate tired and worn
skin cells and further supports elasticity and general flexibility of
the skin wall. A great ingredient to add to healing lotions, creams, and
body butters. It can be directly applied to the skin in its solid
state, but it may require a mild amount of heating to improve
applicability. Highly recommended to those that are crafting cosmetics
with the intent of producing a skin healing end product.
Mango Butter: Expeller pressed and rendered from the seed kernel of the Mango tree,
this highly prized butter is an exceptional quality base ingredient for
body care products and soap making recipes. Mango Butter has beneficial
moisturizing properties for lotions and acts as a mild lubricant for the
skin, and is very similar in color and texture as cocoa butter making
it an exotic and fun alternative for toiletry products. Great source of
essential fatty acids.
Shea Butter: This raw unrefined butter is derived from the vegetable fat of the
Karite Tree. The first choice in natural skin care and fine body care
products, our certified organic shea butter forms a breathable,
water-resistant film and is the leading natural product for
moisturizing. A wonderful base for cosmetic recipes or used as a stand
alone application, this comes highly recommended for those concerned
about naturally healthy skin. The shea butter from Mountain Rose Herbs is hand harvested,
certified organic, expeller pressed, and is imported directly from the
processor.
Natural source waxes have a plethora of fine uses which include a
solidifying medium for salves, an emulsifier for cosmetics, a hardener
for polishes and balms and so much more! It is hard to imagine where we
would be with our creations if it were not for the substance that wax
provides us.
Mountain Rose Herbs offers an exceptional line of waxes for cosmetic and household purposes which may be incorporated seamlessly into most cosmetic preparations and are a standard ingredient for natural body care products.
Beeswax: A wonderful substance secreted by worker honeybees. This line of pure,
filtered, cosmetic grade bees wax comes frombeekeepers in the United
States that we have a wonderful working relationship with. This
beautiful wax is the finest we have ever acquired; producing a very
fragrant, clean, and perfectly filtered product without the debris and
muddy color found in typical waxes. Use it for cosmetics, salves, body
care products, lotions and you can melt it down to make your own
aromatic candles. Mountain Rose Herbs offers pure bees wax with no filler, synthetics, debris, or
foreign fragrances.
Beeswax Pastilles: Mountain Rose Herbs beeswax pastilles are produced in the same manner as their traditional bulk beeswax, only in a more convenient size. These
pastilles, or sometimes known as pellets have a deep golden color, rich
aroma, and the average dimension of each pastille is 3 mm.
Carnauba Wax: One of the hardest cosmetic waxes found, this wax is taken from the
Brazilian palm tree Copernicia prunifera. A very hard, thick wax with a
high melting point around 180-185 degrees. It is mainly used in
furniture waxes, lipsticks, and cosmetic recipes, which require a
formidable barrier agent. Mountain Rose Herbs Carnauba is certified organic, golden in
color, and comes in flake form.
Emulsifying Wax: A vegetable based emulsifying wax from naturally occurring fats and
esters, further processed into a convenient"pastille flake form".
