Shealoe Butter integrated shea and aloe lipid base for structured creams and balm formulations
Shealoe Butter is a combined lipid ingredient where a solid shea base is integrated with an aloe-derived fraction adapted for oil-phase compatibility. This type of material is designed for formulations that require both structural density and incorporation of plant-derived components without shifting into a water phase. It is used in cosmetic products, SPA systems, care formulations and manufacturing processes involving emulsions and dense oil-based textures.
From a formulation standpoint, Shealoe Butter acts as a pre-balanced structural base that simplifies system design. The shea component provides the framework of the lipid phase, delivering consistency and stability, while the aloe fraction is incorporated in a way that allows even dispersion within the oil matrix. This dual structure enables formulators to use it either as a primary base or as a functional element within more complex compositions.
In cosmetic applications, Shealoe Butter is used in creams, body butters, balms, masks and hair care systems. In SPA formulations, it is applied in massage products and warm oil blends. In fragrance and decorative product manufacturing, it can function as a structuring medium. In production environments, it is often selected to streamline formulation development due to its integrated composition.
Functionally, Shealoe Butter builds a structured lipid phase that holds components in a uniform distribution. It influences viscosity, enhances ingredient dispersion and reduces the likelihood of phase separation. In emulsion systems, it contributes to forming a stable texture, while in anhydrous formulations it supports consistency and structural integrity.
In formulation practice, Shealoe Butter is introduced into the oil phase and heated until fully melted. It is compatible with vegetable oils, waxes, emulsifiers and oil-soluble actives. Upon cooling, it forms a stable and uniform structure with consistent performance.
Usage level is defined by formulation goals and adjusted by the formulator depending on the desired texture and system design.
Example formulation: Dense cream butter with integrated lipid base
Purified water 50 ml
Shealoe Butter 25 g
Coconut oil 10 g
Grape seed oil 10 g
Montanov 68 emulsifier 6 g
Cetyl alcohol 3 g
Glycerin 4 g
Panthenol 2 g
Preservative 1 g
pH adjuster 2 g
Process: the oil phase containing Shealoe Butter is heated until fully melted and then combined with the separately prepared water phase. The mixture is emulsified until a uniform structure is formed. During cooling, glycerin, panthenol and preservative are added, followed by pH adjustment. The formulation is mixed until stable and then filled.
Shealoe Butter is used as a combined lipid base that simplifies the creation of structured creams and balm systems, providing consistency, uniformity and predictable formulation performance across different applications.
