Refined shea vegetable butter (Butyrospermum parkii) - HBV Butters

Refined shea butter, vegetable butter – HBV Oils and Butters

Refined, neutral and gentle shea butter, suitable for all your cosmetic formulations

HBV refined shea butter is obtained by gentle filtration of raw Butyrospermum parkii butter, followed by a controlled deodorization process without solvents. The result is a stable, white, odorless cosmetic butter with a fine and homogeneous texture, easy to integrate into all care formulas.

This plant-based butter is appreciated by formulators for its neutrality. It retains the key properties of raw shea: it protects the skin, softens it, and promotes long-lasting hydration. It is ideal for sensitive skincare (baby, face), neutral bases, or even personalized products (soaps, creams, scented balms).

Easy to melt and mix, it is a perfect base for your homemade treatments or professional cosmetic creations, without altering the desired scents or colors.
