Applications
Lipex Shea W is designed for use in skin care emulsions as well as anhydrous balms and ointments. It is
especially suited for facial care and eye care products due to its low spreadability. The Shea butter origin
combined with the ester functionality gives the possibility to formulate light, yet rich, creams and lotions.
A different use is found in hair conditioners, hair masks and balms where Lipex Shea W improves hair gloss
and product consistency.
Lipex Shea W can also be formulated into anhydrous balms and body butters. It can often be used as an
intermediate-melting wax component in colour cosmetics.
