Clear Oils Trend
There has been an ongoing demand for clear oils over the past few years, and it appears to be a trend that’s here to stay. Clear oil products already launched onto the market cover various segments such as body care, facial care and hair care. The key is to provide an oil-based product that is transparent with no cloudiness or precipitate.
Clear Oils for Skin Care and Hair Care
AAK is a world-leading manufacturer of high quality, value-added speciality vegetable oils and fats. They can offer a variety of clear oils, but of particular interest is their offering for liquid Shea products:
- Lipex SheaLight is an eco-designed shea butter ester with excellent spreadability and a non-greasy feel. It combines high functionality in skin care formulations with a light skin feel and a good sustainability profile. It also has great pigment wetting and oil-solubilising properties making it a suitable ingredient for premium sun care and cleansing oils.
- Lipex SheaClear is a low colour, low odour, liquid Shea oil that is completely clear at 20 °C and contains a high level (6-8%) of functional unsaponifiables. Lipex SheaClear can provide the moisturising and softening benefits of Shea Butter in a format that is easy to formulate with. Lipex SheaClear enables the creation of translucent and completely transparent formulations - from body, face and baby oils that soothe and soften, to conditioning oils that make hair and beards silkier.
AAK have created a Clear Oils formulation kit to demonstrate the clarity of these two liquid Shea products. This kit includes:
- Luscious Age-Defying Oil Serum
- Pampering Dry Oil Body Mist
- Scruff Beard Oil
- Softly Caring Baby Oil
- Shea Clear Hair Oil
