What It is

Enjoy improved emollience and protective film-forming benefits with Butter Pearls^® in your formulation. Butter Pearls^® is a sustainable rheology modifier derived from the non-edible fraction of olives, which are leftover from olive oil production. These eco-friendly pearls are an effective oil phase gelling agent for any choice of oil. What are our favorite ways to use Butter Pearls^®?

- With 2.5%, you can add texture to any emulsion for improved aesthetics and stability.

- With 5%, thicken creams.

- With 20%, turn any oil into a balm by combining 20% Butter Pearls^® melted into 80% of your favorite oil!

How It's Made

Non-edible portions of pressed olive fruit leftover after olive oil production are separated and processed to leave fractions of palmitic and stearic acid, which make up Butter Pearls^®.
