The water-based dispersion augments the aesthetics of HEDI® Shea Butter SF, helping to create elegantly luxurious yet highly functional, performance-based finished products for skin and hair. HEDI® Shea Butter SF is a light, sprayable milk-like liquid with outstanding feel characteristics. HEDI® Shea Butter SF is a plant-derived alternative for paraffin and silicone-based emollients.

HEDI® technology enhances the performance of HEDI® Shea Butter SF to allow easy incorporation in cosmetic formulations compared to traditional shea butter. HEDI® Shea Butter SF is pourable and dispersible in water with agitation or shear-mixing. Notably, HEDI® Shea Butter SF can be cold mixed or added at temperatures up to 50°C without high-temperature processing during formulation.
