LIPEX® SheaLuxe TR™
This climate-compensated, fully traceable shea-derived emollient ester is an excellent alternative to non-volatile silicones in light skin care formulations that demand a soft, silky texture and non-greasy after-feel.
Lipex SheaLuxe TR has a similar sensory profile to low molecular weight dimethicone in terms of viscosity, spreadability, and skin feel during and after application. In addition to excellent functional benefits, its superior sustainability credentials set it apart from alkanes and other plant-based esters. As with many of these, Lipex SheaLuxe TR is readily biodegradable and uses renewable resources processed using low temperatures and nontoxic catalysts. But it goes one step further as a fully traceable, climate-compensated product.
LIPEX® Cellect™
Lipex Cellect is a highly stable concentrate of phytosterol esters (45%) derived from canola oil. In-vitro studies show it has anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, making it particularly suitable for formulations targeted at sensitive and mature skin.
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® SheaSoft TR™
A climate-neutral, fully traceable, creamy-textured semi-solid shea butter offering improved heat stability and crystallization properties compared to standard refined shea butter. It opens new possibilities for creating superior body butter formulations that deliver all the nourishing benefits of shea with enhanced aesthetics and a premium skin feel.
You can also use Lipex SheaSoft TR as a texturizer and moisturizer in lip balms, color cosmetic sticks, and anhydrous formulations. Added to light formulations, it acts as a sensory enhancer, improving consistency and delivering a rich, luxurious skin feel.
