How does Butyrospermum Parkii Nut Butter work chemically?
The molecule profile is dominated by triglycerides rich in stearic and oleic acid, plus a smaller unsaponifiable fraction that contributes feel and skin-conditioning behavior. It is commonly used around 1 to 20% in emulsions and up to much higher levels in anhydrous balms, with heat stability suitable for normal cosmetic processing and oxidation controlled by freshness, packaging, and antioxidants.
