Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Organic Illipe Butter from Laboratoires Expanscience.
Organic illipe butter is made from the nuts of the Shorea stenoptera tree, which grows in the Borneo rainforest in Indonesia. It is traditionally used by local villagers to moisturise their skin, as well as heal sores and sunburns.
The seeds of the Shorea stenoptera nuts are sun-dried, pressed and filtered. Then, the crude illipe butter is refined, deodourised and decolourised in a certified organic refinery, so it does not impact the colour and smell of cosmetic formulations. Sourced in Indonesia, Organic Illipe Butter helps preserving the Borneo rainforest from deforestation.
When used in cosmetic formulations it moisturises, nourishes and protects the skin thanks to its naturally balanced fatty acid composition. Ideal for solid vegan formulations thanks to its high melting point.
