Borneo Tallow Nut (Illipe)
INCI NAME: Shorea Stenoptera Seed Butter
WHAT IS IT?
Borneo tallow nut oil is extracted from the fruit of a species of Shorea Tree.
WHAT COUNTRY DOES IT COMES FROM?
Borneo (Rainforest)
HOW IS IT PROCESSED/MANUFACTURED?
The nuts are collected by people living in the rainforest and their husks are removed. The nuts are then dried in the sun for five to seven days and stored. To extract oil, local villagers boil the fruits in a pan, put them in a rattan bag, hold the bag between logs of wood, and squeeze the logs together. The extracted oil is stored in bamboo cylinders and then purified.
WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT IT?
Borneo Tallow nut butter contains oleic, palmitic, stearic, and linoleic fatty acids, as well as vitamins A and E. All of these acids and vitamins have a positive effect on the skin. Those that suffer from eczema or have very dry skin, will really benefit from this luxurious, rich butter. An amazing natural moisturiser that will leave your skin smooth and supple.
This nut butter also reinforces the skin’s natural protective barrier, helping it to retain moisture, preventing it from drying out. All the while, protecting it against environmental stressors. All of this is especially important for people with eczema or dermatitis, since their skin is often extremely dry and sensitive, and the skin’s barrier is often damaged and insufficient. In treating this issue it also helps manage the itchiness that is often felt with such conditions, as well as reducing tightness and irritation. Calming and restoring balance to your skin barrier.
