Illipe butter is the fat from the nuts of the Shorea stenoptera, which is a wild crop in the Borneo jungle of Southeast Asia. It flowers from October through January and the nuts are collected once they fall to the ground.
It becomes white (or pale yellow), solid fat after extraction with a chemical composition that parallels cocoa butter with a lightly higher melting point. Illipe butter contains oleic, palmitic, steric, and linoleic acids. It is a hard butter that melts when in contact with skin.
The butter is very crucial in keeping our skin cells healthy, and to make sure our skins have a healthy membrane to avoid skin ageing and other serious skin conditions. This is due to its high concentration of fatty acids, especially the EFA, s (essential fatty acids). Incase there is a deficiency of fatty acids there is an inability of the membrane by not holding enough moisture to retain firmness or plumpness resulting in skin sagging and ageing of the skins.
The quick absorption rate of this illipe butter, make it a world class product that is only used to achieve excellent skin results making the skin tone very soft and smooth. These conditions also make the butter to be the best ingredient in making facial skin products because face products require quick absorbing fats with very high moisture penetration to avoid skin sagging which later leads to skin ageing.
The other importance of illipe butter is its concentration of palmatic, stearric and linoleic acid. This nutrient content is very important in treating skin conditions. This is an attribute that is not in many natural oils and butter, but you can find it in lip butter.
