Refined SAL Butter – Deodorized

Refined sal butter is a white to off-white, vegetable-origin fat extracted from the seeds of the Shorea robusta tree native to India, widely valued in cosmetics as an odorless, highly stable emollient. Composition and Key Properties: High Oxidative Stability: Contains very low levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, preventing it from going rancid quickly. Fatty Acid Profile: Packed with beneficial stearic and oleic acids that soften and condition skin and hair. Texture: Solid at room temperature with a smooth consistency, melting instantly upon skin contact. It provides better emulsion stability than cocoa butter. Neutral Aroma: The refined version lacks the heavy green hue or crude scent of raw sal butter, making it easier to scent and blend. Cosmetic Applications: Skincare: Used in body creams, lotions, and healing salves to soothe dry skin, restore elasticity, and minimize the appearance of fine lines. Haircare: Added to hair masks, conditioners, and balms to nourish brittle strands and improve hair elasticity. Soapmaking: Contributes to a rich, creamy lather and adds firmness to bar soaps. Lip and Sun Care: Functions as a stable base for lip balms and natural sunscreens
