Features and benefits

  • The unique fatty acid composition of Lipex Shea gives high oxidative stability compared with standard refined shea butter.

  • 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.

  • Lipex Shea is one of our climate-compensated shea products, which means we have calculated and offset emissions with Gold Standard and Fairtrade carbon credits generated by a FairClimate Fund cookstove project in Burkina Faso that funds climate action in the shea supply base and directly improves the lives of local communities.
