Lipex L’sens

INCI: Soybean Glycerides (and) Butyrospermum Parkii Unsaponifiables
Product Categories: Emollient, Film Former
Lipex L’sens™ is a highly polar, semi-solid, shea-based oleogel for improving moisturizing, conditioning and light-reflecting benefits in skin, hair and lip care formulations. Derived from a unique combination of soybean glycerides and shea butter unsaponifiables, Lipex L’sens shows high substantivity to both hair and skin. Its properties in regard to touch, structure, gloss, film-forming and water-absorbing capacities make it an excellent vegan-based alternative to lanolin. Lipex L’sens combines well with other vegetable based emollients and emulsifiers as well as with most synthetic and mineral oil based materials used in cosmetics. It also has good compatibility with waxes typically used in lipstick formulations.
