LIPEX® SheaLiquid TR™
A climate-compensated, fully traceable, low-spreading liquid butter, Lipex SheaLiquid TR can be used in formulations at higher levels than standard refined shea butter, without the risk of crystallization. It offers good stability and is suitable for low energy processing.
A controlled laboratory-scale trial showed that liquid shea saves up to 50% energy and takes 30% less time in production compared to solid shea butter.
The study compared hot processing of a body lotion made with 6% solid shea butter with low-temperature processing of the same formulation using 6% liquid shea. A sensory evaluation triangle test confirmed there were no significant differences between the two final formulations.
LIPEX® L’sens™
Lipex L’sens is a highly polar, semi-solid oleogel derived from a unique combination of soybean glycerides and shea butter unsaponifiables.
It has high substantivity to both hair and skin and is an excellent vegan alternative to lanolin as it shares similar properties regarding touch, structure, gloss, film-forming, and water-absorbing capacities.
Lipex L’sens combines well with other vegetable-based emollients and emulsifiers and most synthetic and mineral oil-based materials used in cosmetics. It also has good compatibility with waxes typically used in lipstick formulations.
