This nourishing whipped butter giving softness and comfort is obtained with 15% shea butter emulsified with LECIGEL™. This impressive minimalist formula provides an ultra-sophisticated skin sensation and a velvet touch.
LECIGEL™ is a gelling agent with emulsifying properties. It allows the increase in the viscosity and the stability of formulas. Suitable for both cold and hot processes, it also helps to adjust the viscosity at the end of the formulation process. Easy-to-use, it is compatible with most emulsifiers and is stable over a wide range of pH. Especially adapted for the formulation of gel-creams, it provides the typical “phospholipid touch” with a cool, soft and non-greasy skin feel.
