LIPEX® SheaSoft TR™

This climate-compensated, fully traceable, semi-solid shea butter has a creamy texture, proven skin moisturizing benefits, and offers easy formulating and upscaling.

Using interesterification, we have optimized the melting and crystallization properties to prevent bloom, protect and repair the lipid barrier, and deliver increased thermal stability to final formulations.

Made from FairWild™ certified segregated shea kernels from our Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program, SheaSoft TR opens new possibilities for creating superior body butter formulations that provide all the nourishing benefits of shea with enhanced aesthetics and a premium skin feel.

Features and benefits

Lipex SheaSoft TR is made from FairWild™ certified segregated shea kernels, fully traceable to the Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program, meeting demand for verified ingredients that positively contribute to social, economic, and environmental well-being.
Lipex SheaSoft TR 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.
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.
