Cocoa Butter
Common Name(s): Cocoa butter,cacao butter
CAS Number: 8002-31-1
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides hard-setting occlusive emolliency for body butters and lip balms with skin conditioning stearic acid.
Why It's Used: Classic body care and lip balm solid butter providing strong occlusive moisture retention with the iconic cocoa scent and stable solid-at-room-temperature consistency.
How It Works: High stearic (32-36%) and palmitic (25-30%) acid content provides hard, brittle texture with high melting point (34-38ยฐc). solid at room temperature, melts at body contact for on-skin application. occlusive barrier film reduces tewl. natural polyphenols provide antioxidant activity.
Typically Found In: Body butters,lip balms,hard lotions,soap,cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Occlusive barrier,hard butter texture,natural aroma
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare

Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS

Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Expeller or cold-pressed from roasted cacao beans. natural cocoa butter retains aroma; deodorized available for unscented formulas. very shelf stable (shelf life 3-5 years).
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 4/5 โ comedogenic; avoid on acne-prone face
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Cocoa butter is one of the few naturally occurring fats with a sharp melting point transition (34-38ยฐc) just below body temperature, providing solid-at-room-temperature stability while melting completely and uniformly on skin contact. this unique thermal transition gives body butters and lip balms their characteristic texture and application.

Olive Oil
Common Name(s): Olive oil oil
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Nourishes and softens skin through its balanced fatty acid profile, while antioxidant compounds protect against oxidative skin damage.
Why It's Used: Plant oils provide physiologically compatible lipid structures that integrate into the skin barrier and deliver fat-soluble antioxidants directly to skin cells.
How It Works: Fatty acids integrate into stratum corneum lipid lamellae, reinforcing the lipid barrier. antioxidants (tocopherols, carotenoids, polyphenols) neutralize ros through electron donation or singlet oxygen quenching.
Typically Found In: Face oils,serums,moisturizers,hair treatments,body oils
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Plant oils
Secondary Functions: Emollient,antioxidant
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5โ30%
SOURCING & ETHICS

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1899-12-31 00:00:00 -0800
Comedogenicity Rating: 1900-01-01 00:00:00 -0800
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Vitamin e,ceramides,other plant oils,squalane
Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizers (accelerate rancidity)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Vegetable oils are triglyceride matrices where the fatty acid composition determines skin compatibility, barrier function, and comedogenicity. oleic acid-rich oils (>60%) soften barrier lipids and enhance penetration; linoleic acid-rich oils reinforce ceramide-poor stratum corneum; saturated fatty acid-rich oils provide occlusion without skin penetration.

Shea Butter
Common Name(s): Shea butter,karite butter
CAS Number: 91080-23-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides deep nourishing emolliency with anti-inflammatory cinnamic acid esters and a uniquely rich unsaponifiable fraction.
Why It's Used: The most nutritious plant butter โ unique cinnamic acid esters, lupeol, and rich unsaponifiable fraction provide anti-inflammatory and wound healing benefits beyond standard fatty acid emolliency.
How It Works: Cinnamic acid esters absorb uv radiation providing mild natural uv filtering (spf 3-4). lupeol inhibits nf-kb for anti-inflammatory activity. high stearic acid provides occlusive barrier function. rich unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%) provides phytosterols, tocopherols, and triterpenes for bioactive skin benefits.
Typically Found In: Body butters,rich moisturizers,baby products,hair conditioners,lip balms
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Cinnamic acid uv support,lupeol anti-inflammatory,rich emolliency
Application Areas:

Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from butyrospermum parkii nuts
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Unrefined (raw) shea retains more unsaponifiable fraction and stronger natural scent/color. refined shea is odorless, white, and cleaner for formulation. certified fair trade supports west african women's cooperatives.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic (refined); 2/5 โ low (raw/unrefined)
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Shea butter's unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%, vs coconut oil's 0.5% and olive oil's 1-2%) is exceptionally rich in triterpenes, phytosterols, and tocopherols. this fraction is responsible for shea's anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties that simple fatty acid analysis fails to reveal.
