Cerin® CB100 or Coconut Butter is the natural emollient derived from coconut that addresses formulators’ concerns. With a rich and soothing texture, coconut butter is light in color and leaves no coconut smell and non-greasy feel. It will not affect the properties of lotion and cream products, allowing formulators to have more flexibility in formulating.
As we get older, our skin needs extra care. Signs of aging include loss of suppleness, smoothness and appearance of fine lines on our skin. During the cold season when the air is dry, daily moisturizing is a must. Finding the right one in the market that ensures deep moisturization can be tricky as some moisturizers can go from light to ultra-heavy, leaving a sticky feeling which may be uncomfortable to use and may also clog your pores.
For centuries, Shea Butter has remained a popular ingredient in skin care and cosmetic products due to its wonderful benefits on the skin. Recently however, rising unease regarding its sustainability have led to formulators to search elsewhere for an alternative ingredient that can give the same benefits as Shea Butter without harming the environment.
Enter the “miracle” discovery, coconut butter.
