Sensory similarities aside, the sustainability credentials of Lipex SheaLuxe TR are the real differentiators that set it apart from silicones, alkanes, and other plant-based esters. Processed using low temperatures and non-toxic catalysts and produced with shea from a segregated supply chain, fully traceable to the AAK Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program in West Africa, all product emissions have been calculated and offset with Gold Standard and Fairtrade carbon credits generated by a cookstove project that funds climate action in the shea supply base and directly improves the lives of local communities.
"Lipex SheaLuxe TR meets the growing demand for high-performing cosmetic ingredients that positively contribute to social, economic, and environmental well-being," says Elena Genesca Pont, Commercial Product Manager for AAK Personal Care. "Independent sensory tests confirm its similarity to low viscosity dimethicone regarding lightness, spreadability, dry residue and silky skin after-feel, making it an ideal natural alternative for premium face care formulations, such as serums, eye care and make-up primers, all of which we will be demonstrating at this year's in-cosmetics Global in Paris."
Lipex SheaLuxe TR iwill be showcased on Stand 1S110 and in the Innovation Zone at this year's in-cosmetics Global in Paris from 16-18 April. For product information, sample requests, and a list of global suppliers, visit aakpersonalcare.com.
