Illipe Butter – Unrefined

RidhSa Lipids Unrefined Illipe Butter is a botanical seed fat obtained from Shorea stenoptera, traditionally sourced from Borneo. The fat is extracted from cleaned, dried nuts or kernels and filtered without subsequent chemical refining, bleaching or deodorization. Rich in stearic- and oleic-containing triglycerides, it is typically a firm butter suitable for providing structure and emollience in lip balms, body butters, solid moisturizers, soaps and other cosmetic applications. Its appearance, natural odour and melting behaviour can vary with collection area, seed handling and processing. Illipe is also discussed in specialty confectionery-fat markets, but any food application requires a separately qualified food-grade material and regulatory assessment. Supply is subject to botanical authentication, agreed specifications and batch documentation.

Overview

Botanical Name	Shorea stenoptera Burck (confirm species; illipe is a trade term sometimes applied to other Shorea fats)
Cas#	Confirm exact CAS/INCI substance identity against supplier SDS; trade name alone is insufficient for identification.
Color	Cream to pale yellow or light brownish-yellow; natural variation possible
Method Of Extraction	Mature nuts or kernels are collected, cleaned and dried; fat is recovered by mechanical pressing or another documented extraction process and filtered. Unrefined grade is not subsequently chemically refined, bleached or deodorized. Confirm actual process and solvent status for each lot.
Constituents	Primarily triglycerides rich in stearic and oleic fatty-acid residues, with smaller proportions of palmitic, linoleic and other fatty acids. Exact fatty-acid and triglyceride profiles are source- and batch-specific; request GC-FAME and, where needed, TAG analysis.
Solubility	Insoluble in water; miscible with compatible fats and oils when melted; soluble in appropriate nonpolar organic solvents.
Specific Gravity	No universal grade-specific release value established; determine density of melted butter at a specified temperature using an agreed method.
Flash Point	Not routinely measured for this nonvolatile seed fat; obtain a method-specific measured result if required.

Benefits

Adds firmness and body to solid formulations; supplies emollient lipids; helps reduce moisture loss through a protective lipid film; complements softer oils and butters in texture-adjusted cosmetic blends; offers a plant-derived alternative structuring fat.

Uses

Lip balms, body butters, lotion bars, solid moisturizers, soap bars, hand and foot balms, massage bars, haircare and customized cosmetic fat blends. Food use only with appropriately qualified and compliant food-grade material.

What is unrefined illipe butter?

It is seed fat, commonly from Shorea stenoptera, recovered and filtered without subsequent chemical refining, bleaching or deodorization.

Is illipe butter the same as shea butter?

No. Illipe and shea come from different plants and differ in their triglyceride profiles and formulation behaviour; illipe is often selected for firmness.

Where does illipe butter come from?

Authentic Shorea stenoptera illipe butter is primarily associated with Borneo. Verify the species and country of origin for each shipment.

What is the melting point of illipe butter?

Melting characteristics depend on the fat profile and test method; request the measured melting range or slip point from the supplier COA instead of assuming a fixed value.

Can unrefined illipe butter be used in cosmetics or confectionery?

Cosmetic use requires suitable ingredient quality and finished-product safety testing. Confectionery use additionally requires a specifically qualified food-grade material and compliance with local food rules.
