Formulation Deep Dive
The Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream by Fenty Skin is formulated as a high-performance oil-in-water emulsion designed for deep epidermal lipid replenishment. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated ratio of Aqua, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, and Glycerin, balanced with Propanediol and plant-based esters like Cetyl Ethylhexanoate to achieve a rich, buttery viscosity that maintains a non-greasy skin feel. Active performance is driven by a synergistic lipid complex featuring Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter for barrier repair, while Sodium Hyaluronate provides humectancy and Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Seed Oil delivers essential fatty acids to improve skin elasticity. The formulation is stabilized through a robust polymer network of Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer and emulsified with Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, preserved by a system including Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin for broad-spectrum microbial stability.
