This method of self-care for women around the world has been known since ancient times. After all, various oils had a truly miraculous effect, giving shine and volume to the hair, as well as prolonging the youthfulness of the skin of the face and body. In ancient Egypt and in the harems of the sultans, there was a cult of self-care, and the beauties of all continents needed a product with an amazing aroma, which, upon contact with the skin, acquired a unique shade. Today, solid oil has become popular, and we'll talk about its properties.
Types of butter
Vegetable oil of varying degrees of fat content, which retains its solid texture at temperatures up to 24 degrees, is called butter (butter).
This product belongs to natural beauty products and you can get it in the form of a solid oil in the form of a tile, a relatively soft creamy product, and also inin the form of scrubs of different densities, cleansing and nourishing substances, including soaps.
All this variety can be made both by individual entrepreneurs and on the basis of perfume factories. The percentage of solid oil and other plant components can vary from 20% to 100%.
This natural product is especially in demand in the spa area, where many elements of the cosmetic line cannot be imagined without it.
Exposure spectrum
Solid oil is indispensable for skin in need of hydration. It can be used as a preventive measure to slow down the aging process, as it perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the dermis, while restoring its turgor.
Despite its solid consistency, the oil, getting on clean and dry skin, gradually warms up and spreads over its surface. This is used in massage practice, allowing you to bring beneficial substances to the deepest layers of the skin. It should be noted that the product should be applied to dry skin. If it is wet, then "pellets" may form on it.
Production method
According to the method of obtaining solid butter is divided into two types:
- Natural or batter. It is extracted by pressing from vegetable raw materials: shea tree, cocoa, mango fruits, capuacu. All of them grow in countries with a tropical climate. There are refined and unrefined varieties. Of course, these oils are highly valued, like all natural ones.
- Artificially created by combining the unrefined natural part with vegetable oils that have undergone a hydrolysis process into a single consistency. These products are of inferior quality. However, valuable elements are present in them.
In the manufacture of oils with a solid structure, their percentage composition can be at best 100%. But another ratio of natural pomace and plant base is also possible, which affects the price. By the way, all these products are "friends" with each other.
In order to maximize the useful properties of the product, its packaging must be airtight. Sunlight, as well as violation of the temperature regime (22-24 degrees) are highly undesirable. Under these conditions, the oil can be stored for up to 2 years.
Beauty and he alth of hair
Today, not only women, but also men are concerned about hair he alth. And cosmetologists around the world are looking for tools that can improve the condition of the strands of both the weak and the strong half of the world's population. However, the classic, time-tested, is relevant at all times. Therefore, hair oil, both solid and regular, is in the trend of the most popular care methods.
The spectrum of product impact depends on the recipe and the natural resource of the plant material. Oils have regenerating, structure-strengthening and hair-growth-enhancing properties to varying degrees. We can say that each of them is a diverse tool.
The mostshea butter, known as shea, is considered to be in demand; solid cocoa, mango, coconut and palm oils, whose reputation has been badly damaged by unscrupulous intermediary companies. Each of these natural products contains monobasic carboxylic acids that promote he althy hair.
Given that all the beneficial properties of oils are an order of magnitude better preserved in a solid state, easily absorbed even by very susceptible scalp and washed off without problems, with a complex and long-term treatment of damaged hair, it is better to opt for a butter.
As for the choice of a certain type of oil, the personal preference and "contact" of the client with a particular aroma and its specific properties plays an important role here.
Solid Body Butter
The hallmark of a woman's he alth is the condition of her skin. With age, changes become especially noticeable in the neck and décolleté, as well as hands. However, the dermis of the face and the whole body needs nutrition and hydration. Therefore, the importance of natural solid oils in cosmetology cannot be overestimated. Massage parlors make extensive use of the revitalizing and rejuvenating properties of these products, and their effectiveness has been time-tested.
The range of oils used for body care is the same as for hair he alth: cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, etc. It should be noted that some clients of cosmetic clinics perceive the solid consistency with caution. However, the concerns in this case are completelyin vain. The oil, upon contact with the skin, acquires the usual liquid structure, and further manipulations occur in the classical way.
The advantage of solid oil over liquid oil is its ability to better preserve the complex of nutrients: they are, as it were, in a canned state and "come to life" after melting.
Refined wood
Not only human skin needs care and improvement. The tree also appreciates the caring "treatments" with Osmo hard wax oil. It is designed for wood flooring of all types and for various purposes, including shipbuilding.
This product is eco-friendly, easy to use and able to satisfy the most demanding taste. After applying it to the plane, you can get a different result: colorless, matte, silky matte and glossy. In addition, this oil protects the surface from water and dirt, thereby increasing the life of the product.
