LIPEX® 205

A versatile, low-spreading, liquid butter, Lipex 205 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 and 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.
