How does Shorea Robusta Seed Butter work chemically?
The molecule profile is mainly triglycerides rich in stearic and oleic acid residues, which gives it a firm texture and a melt point close to skin temperature, often around the mid-30s °C. Typical use ranges are about 1 to 10% in emulsions and higher in anhydrous balms or sticks, and its low polyunsaturated fraction gives better oxidation stability than many softer oils.
