Features and benefits

  • Produced using only shea kernels from a segregated supply chain, fully traceable to the AAK Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program in West Africa, Lipex SheaSoft TR meets consumer demand for ingredients that positively contribute to social, economic, and environmental well-being.

  • The high melting point and rapid crystallization pattern ensure smooth, rich, homogenous formulations with excellent thermal stability and long shelf life.

  • The slow, smooth melting profile gives a unique creamy texture and enhanced sensory benefits.

  • The soft, pliable texture delivers long playtime and forms a protective lipid barrier on the skin to reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and improve moisture content.

  • An in-vivo study measuring TEWL over 24 hours confirms long-lasting moisturizing and barrier-protecting benefits.

  • As a verified climate-neutral product, Lipex SheaSoft TR can help cosmetic brands achieve their Scope 3 emissions targets and communicate the carbon footprint of consumer products which include this ingredient.
