Shea Butter Ethyl Esters

Description

Shea Butter Ethyl Esters is a derivative of the shea tree (Butyrospermum Parkii) obtained by esterification of the fatty acids of shea butter with ethyl alcohol. Unlike regular shea butter, this ingredient has a lighter texture, better absorption, and does not leave a greasy film, while retaining its softening properties. In cosmetics, Shea Butter Ethyl Esters are added as a gentle moisturizer and softener, improving the texture of the skin and hair. It provides a silky feeling, protects the skin from moisture loss, makes it smooth, elastic, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive or oily skin. It is often used in creams, lotions, balms, conditioners, and decorative cosmetics.
