The stable and rapid crystallization pattern enables almost unlimited levels of use in formulations without the signs of bloom formation typically associated with standard refined shea butter.
Rapid crystallization reduces the possibility of formulation instability and delivers smooth, soft formulation textures across a wide range of skin care applications.
Moisturizing and conditioning properties deliver softening and smoothing benefits to cosmetic formulations.
The high standards governing AAK raw materials guarantee a longer shelf-life than standard refined shea butter.
