LIPEX® SheaLuxe TR™
This climate-compensated, fully traceable shea-derived emollient ester is an excellent alternative to non-volatile silicones in light skin care and hair 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 non-toxic catalysts. But it goes one step further as a fully traceable, climatecompensated product.
LIPEX® CocoaSoft RA MB™
Sustainably sourced from Ghana and Ivory Coast, Lipex CocoaSoft RA MB has a flatter melting profile and superior crystallization pattern than standard refined cocoa butter to prevent bloom, protect and repair the lipid barrier, and deliver increased thermal stability to final formulations.
Lipex CocoaSoft RA MB offers cosmetic formulators new opportunities to deliver rich, luxurious, superior emulsions without needing to add texturizing agents and to create innovative anhydrous formulations that remain smooth, firm, and glossy.
LIPEX® IllipeSoft™
We have applied our specialized lipid technology to modify the melting and crystallization properties to prevent bloom, protect and repair the lipid barrier, and deliver increased thermal stability to final formulations.
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.
