Illepe Butter

One of the more exotic butters, Illipe originates in southeastern Asia.

The nuts from the Shorea stenoptera tree are harvested and pressed to
extract the raw fat within. The resulting butter is a very hard, but very emollient product.

Similar in composition to Cocoa Butter, Illipe makes a fine base ingredient for balms,
lotions and creams. It can also be used in soapmaking to create firm, highly moisturizing
bars.

Illipe Butter is especially useful in the treatment of mature or chronically
dry skin as its application can help to reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Unlike Cocoa Butter, Illipe Butter tends to be very light, sometimes white in color,
and has little to no characteristic aroma. While it does have a higher melting point
than Cocoa Butter, with some slight adjustments Illipe Butter can make a fine substitute
for Cocoa Butter in many formulations.

Illipe butter is obtained from the nuts of the Shorea stenoptera, a tropical tree.

Illipe butter is very similar in nature to cocoa butter, but it has a higher melting point.

Its high melting point makes it a good ingredient to include for making hard bars of soap.

It has a mild characteristic odor and is creamy white in color.

Illipe butter moisturizes the skin and restores elasticity.

It is used in skin and sun care products, massage creams,
and soap. It lends rigidity to balms, stick formulations and soaps.
