Do you love the skin-nourishing benefits of shea butter but find it challenging to use when formulating? If so, this webinar is for you. Shea butter is the most frequently used plant-based butter, but cosmetic formulators often struggle when formulating with it, especially when working with higher concentrations or anhydrous formulations. Common situations include unstable formulations that change consistency and separate over time, developing odor, color, and/or a grainy texture.

It is important to remember that not all shea butter variants are the same. Quality can vary significantly depending on the sourcing and processing, which affect consistency and shelf life. In this webinar, led by Benjamin Schwartz from AAK USA, an award-winning speaker and expert in formulating with natural ingredients, you will take a deep dive into the reasons why shea butter can be hard to work with and what you should be aware of when selecting your ingredient, including the different grades of butter and what you should focus on when making your evaluation and upscaling your formulations.
