Shorea stenoptera seed butter

Shorea stenoptera seed butter (CAS 91770-65-9), also known commercially as Shorea stenoptera, ext., is a natural vegetable butter derived from the seeds of the Borneo tallow tree. It functions as an emollient and moisturizing agent across personal care, food, and industrial formulations.

In cosmetics and skin care, it is used as a base ingredient in body butters, lip balms, and solid lotions where it provides a rich, skin-conditioning texture without synthetic additives. This material is highly valued for its stability and skin-feel.

As a cocoa butter equivalent or extender, it is used in confectionery coatings and chocolate manufacturing where its compatible triglyceride profile supports tempering and melt behavior. This makes it a versatile ingredient for large-scale food production.

In food applications, it serves as a structuring fat in specialty bakery fillings and compound coatings. It provides the necessary physical properties for high-quality edible products while maintaining a clean label for consumers.

Coatings and adhesive formulators source it as a bio-based binder or film-forming component in formulations requiring natural, renewable raw materials. Its chemical structure allows for excellent integration into various industrial systems.

Shorea stenoptera seed butter is supplied as a solid butter or refined fat, typically off-white to pale yellow in appearance. It is processed to meet rigorous industry requirements for purity and performance in diverse manufacturing environments.

Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly traded forms, with refined and deodorized variants available for applications requiring neutral odor and color. These grades ensure compliance with global safety regulations.

Bulk supply is standard in drums or cartons, with smaller quantities available for formulation development. We ensure that all shipments meet the necessary logistical standards for international chemical and food ingredient distribution.
