Shea Butter Ethyl Esters

Shea Butter Ethyl Esters is a liquid ester derivative created by transesterifying traditional shea butter with ethanol, converting the solid butter into a pourable, lightweight oil. This modification preserves shea butter's beneficial fatty acid profile while dramatically improving spreadability and skin feel, making it ideal for spray formulations, serums, and lightweight moisturizers where traditional shea butter would be too heavy. Formulators choose it for its ability to deliver shea butter's nourishing properties without the waxy, occlusive texture, plus its excellent stability and resistance to oxidation compared to the parent butter.
