WAXES & BUTTERS 71
Ingredient focus: waxes and butters
n Richard Scott – Editor, Personal Care
Waxes and butters are key ingredients for formulators as they have the ability to deliver body and structure to formulations. Waxes can also improve texture, increase viscosity, deliver shine and improve the stability of formulations, while butters provide richness and the sense of nourishment necessary for many skin care products. Following is a range of wax and butter
ingredients from some of the world’s leading ingredient suppliers, many of which will be ideal options for natural and vegan compliant formulations.
Butters Omega Butter from Cobiosa is a nutrient- loaded butter blend. It is 70% comprised from plukenetia seed oil, (Sacha Inchi), and fortified with the stearic fractions of 30% olive oil from the Italian Tuscany. Sacha Inchi is a plant native to the high altitude rain forest of the Andean region of South America. Its seed oil contains one of the highest
amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) 48.6% content of omega 3, 36.8% omega 6, and 8.9 omega 9, and it also contains a high tocopherols concentration, rarely seen in other seeds. It is also rich in vegetal saturated C16-C19 triglycerides and unsaponifiables from olive oil. Omega Butter is a new multi-purpose
and synergetic care and functional ingredient and is obtained through a mechanical soft manufacturing patented process that allows preserving the integral properties of the natural lipidic components, avoiding any degradation. It is recommended for emollient,
protective, smoothing and nourishing products and products for very sensitive skin. It is also ideal for baby care products and formulations for dry and rough skins. Mango Butter from Henry Lamotte Oils
is obtained from the seeds of the mango (Mangifera indica). The evergreen mango tree belongs to the sumac family (Anacardiaceae) and generally grows up to 15 meters high (approx. 49 ft). The kernels
have a fatty oil content ranging between 9% and 13%. Originally native to India, the mango is now primarily grown in India, Pakistan and the Philippines. It is regenerative and healing,
replenishing the lipids in the skin. It is also good at retaining moisture in the skin and can be used in baby creams and body creams, lotions and lip balms. As well as skin care it can be used to provide nourishing qualities in hair care, adding moisture to the fibers. Other uses include soaps that replenish the lipids in the skin and it is a well-tolerated alternative for paraffin wax. The sapote tree is native to Central
America and is appreciated for its fruits and for its role in vegetable synergy. The fruits contain two kernels from which Huiles Bertin extract a butter with a very low melting point and a surprising smell of bitter almond. Sapote butter from Huiles Bertin has a rich touch and a slightly filmogenic finish. It offers moisturizing properties and also nourishes dry hair, masks the odors of the formula and helps spreadability of formulas in body and skin care. Sapote Butter has a low melting point and can be used in body care and skin care products, hair mask and decorative cosmetics. JD Jojoba Butter V is a unique blend of
