Water Soluble Shea Butter
Cosmetic Grade Water Soluble Shea Butter is an upgraded liquid water-soluble emollient modified from natural shea butter via professional solubilization and emulsification technology. It breaks through the limitation of traditional solid shea butter that can only be applied to oil-phase formulas and difficult to disperse. The product completely retains the high-activity natural lipid components, vitamins and moisturizing factors of shea butter, possessing excellent anti-dry, nourishing and barrier-repairing efficacy.
Different from traditional shea butter with heavy texture and poor solubility, the liquid water-soluble version features uniform texture, convenient feeding, no agglomeration and no floating oil after dissolution. It can be directly added to various water-phase skincare and washing formulas without complicated pre-melting and pre-emulsification processes, greatly simplifying production operations.
It can efficiently improve skin dryness, peeling and chapping, soften rough keratin, and endow skin and hair with long-lasting smooth and tender state. With the dual advantages of traditional shea butter’s strong nourishing power and modern fresh non-greasy skin feel, it is an ideal upgraded raw material for dry skin care, seasonal anti-chapping and mild daily skincare products.
