Kpangnan Butter – Unrefined

RidhSa Lipids Unrefined Kpangnan Butter is a naturally derived vegetable fat obtained from the seeds of Pentadesma butyracea. The kernels are processed to recover the fat, which is then settled or filtered without subsequent chemical refining, bleaching or deodorization. This West African butter is rich in stearic- and oleic-containing triglycerides and may have a firm to semi-solid texture, characteristic natural aroma and variable colour. It offers emollience and structure for body butters, balms, soaps, creams and customized botanical lipid blends. Natural differences in appearance, composition and melting behaviour depend on the collection area, seed condition, extraction method and storage. RidhSa Lipids offers bulk B2B supply subject to verified origin, processing declarations and batch-specific quality specifications.

Overview

Botanical Name	Pentadesma butyracea Sabine
Cas#	Confirm the exact CAS number and substance identity from the supplier SDS; not independently verified for the unrefined seed butter.
Color	Yellow to golden yellow or yellowish-brown; natural batch variation
Method Of Extraction	Seeds are cleaned and kernels prepared by drying and, where applicable, heat treatment. Fat may be recovered by traditional aqueous/heat-assisted extraction or mechanical pressing, followed by settling and filtration. The unrefined grade is not subsequently neutralized, bleached or deodorized; confirm the actual process for each lot.
Constituents	Primarily triglycerides containing stearic and oleic fatty-acid residues, with palmitic, linoleic and other minor fatty acids. Composition varies by geographical source and extraction method; obtain a batch-specific GC-FAME profile before declaring quantitative ranges.
Solubility	Insoluble in water; blends with compatible fats and oils when melted; soluble in suitable nonpolar organic solvents.
Specific Gravity	No universally confirmed release specification; measure density of the melted butter at a stated temperature using an agreed method.
Flash Point	Not routinely specified for this nonvolatile vegetable fat; obtain a measured method-specific result if required.

Benefits

Provides emollience and skin conditioning; contributes richness and structure to solid balms and body butters; helps reduce moisture loss; supports plant-derived cosmetic fat blends; can be combined with other oils and butters to adjust firmness and sensory properties.

Uses

Body butters, lip balms, hand and foot balms, soap bars, creams, massage bars, haircare products, solid moisturizers and customized cosmetic lipid blends. Food applications require separately verified food-grade compliance.

What is unrefined kpangnan butter?

It is fat obtained from Pentadesma butyracea seed kernels without subsequent chemical refining, bleaching or deodorization. Basic settling or filtration may still occur.

Is kpangnan butter the same as shea butter?

No. Kpangnan comes from Pentadesma butyracea, whereas shea comes from Vitellaria paradoxa. Both are botanical fats, but their origin and composition differ.

What is the typical melting point of kpangnan butter?

Melting behaviour depends on triglyceride composition and processing. A batch-specific slip point or melting range should be obtained rather than assuming a universal value.

Does unrefined kpangnan butter have a natural odour?

Yes. It can retain a characteristic seed-fat aroma that varies with processing, freshness and storage. Request a representative sample for sensory assessment.

Can unrefined kpangnan butter be used in cosmetics?

Yes, provided the material meets appropriate identity, contaminant, oxidation and cosmetic safety requirements, and the finished formulation is assessed for stability and safety.
