LIPEX® SMP™
Lipex SMP is a highly versatile, oxidative stable solid emollient with a sharp melting profile and excellent crystallinity. It combines a silky-smooth richness with a soft-dry skin feel to offer unique texture transformations in face, hand, and body care formulations. Suitable for both emulsion and anhydrous-based systems, it is an excellent base for creating aerated products and is also an efficient texturizer for cosmetic pencils, sticks, and crayons.

Features and benefits
- Solid at room temperature, it transforms rapidly to a low viscosity liquid at body temperature with the potential to provide a cooling sensation when melting.
- Rapid solidification and excellent crystallinity combined with high oxidative stability ensure the final formulation has a long shelf-life.
- Compatible with natural and synthetic waxes, liquid vegetable oils, and esters, as well as pigments and fillers, Lipex SMP is an efficient texturizer for cosmetic pencils, sticks, and crayons. It delivers a smooth, rich pay-off with a dry film on application.NB: Lipex SMP offers limited mixability with tropical butter and long-chain fats.
