Illipe Oil |
|
The Illipe tree (Shorea stenoptera) is a magnificent tree which grows in the forests of Borneo. The butter is made from the nuts of the tree. Illipe butter has long-lasting moisturizing properties. It is known for its skin softening quality. Illipe's chemical composition closely resembles that of cocoa butter, yet with a slightly higher melting point, making it ideal for use in bar soaps, lip balms, lip sticks and other stick type applications where a higher melting point is desired.
