Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Convenient Liquid Variety: Shea Nut Carrier Oil – RBD offers the nourishing benefits of Shea Butter in a lightweight, pourable oil format. Fractionated and refined from Vitellaria paradoxa nuts, this carrier oil is easier to handle and blend into formulations.
All-Natural Emollient: Rich in skin-conditioning Oleic and Linoleic fatty acids, Shea Nut Oil enhances the sensory profile of lotions, creams, lip balms, and emulsions. It softens rough patches of skin, supports barrier function, and contributes to a silky after-feel.
Refined for Stability: This cosmetic-grade carrier oil has undergone refining, bleaching, and deodorizing (RBD) to enhance clarity, minimize scent, and extend shelf life. Its clean, pale-yellow appearance and neutral aroma “carry” other ingredients effectively in final formulations.
Ideal for Sensitive Skin Types: Shea Nut Oil’s smooth consistency, mild scent, and refined profile makes it suitable for products intended for dry, mature, or sensitive skin types. It is also an excellent choice for soothing skin care products, including baby care and post-sun formulas.
Unmatched Versatility: Trusted by formulators to improve spreadability and emollience in facial oils, lotions, serums, lipsticks, and hair conditioners, Shea Nut Oil – RBD’s stable composition also reduces graininess in balms and enhances glide in massage blends.
DESCRIPTION
Obtained by fractionating Shea Butter, a process that separates the lighter liquid oil from the heavier butters using gentle heat, Shea Nut Carrier Oil is a smooth, stable, and highly workable oil. Refined, bleached, and deodorized for cosmetic purposes, this carrier oil retains many of the beneficial fatty acids found in traditional Shea Butter while eliminating textural challenges.
With a light to medium consistency and excellent absorption, Shea Nut Oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly Oleic and Linoleic, that contribute to deep conditioning benefits. Formulators favor Shea Nut Oil – RBD for its reliable performance in both anhydrous and emulsion-based products. From lip balms and moisturizers to hair masks and serums, it delivers a smooth application and a hydrated finish to a wide variety of product types.
Whether you're creating rinse-off conditioners or leave-on facial oils, Shea Nut Carrier Oil provides a consistent base that aligns with clean beauty trends and modern formulation needs.
