Kpangnan Butter – Refined
RidhSa Lipids Refined Kpangnan Butter is a purified vegetable fat derived from the seed kernels of Pentadesma butyracea. Following fat extraction, the crude butter undergoes suitable refining steps to reduce impurities, free fatty acids, colour and natural odour, depending on the specified grade. Its triglycerides, rich in stearic and oleic fatty-acid residues, provide emollience and body in creams, body butters, lip balms, soap bars and customized lipid blends. Processing may include degumming, neutralization, bleaching, filtration and deodorization, but the actual sequence must be confirmed with the manufacturer. RidhSa Lipids offers this specialty botanical butter for bulk B2B applications, subject to agreed specifications, source verification and batch quality documentation.
