Sheaolein can replace the SHEABUTTER which is used as a fatten agent in cosmetic products, as well as topical ointments, creams and lotions. Because of its high content of unsaponifiables, it is mostly appreciated for facial, hand and body care products, giving a very pleasant smooth feeling to the skin. Also recommended for lipstick, make-up, sunscreen formulations and preparations for sensitive skins, due to his anti-inflammatory qualities. Shea Butter may also be used in hydrophobic (oil based) products, or in the oil phase of formulations for cosmetics, toiletries including soap industries and O.T.C pharmaceutical preparations.

| SKIN CARE | O.T.C. PHARMACEUTICALS |
