What it is

BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER is described in the entry as the fat obtained from the fruit of the shea tree, Butyrospernum parkii, in the Sapotaceae family. This detail distinguishes the ingredient from an extract or a generic plant designation.

The INCI name preserves the technical form used in ingredient lists, while EC number 293-515-7 adds an identifier to the entry. The origin stated in the record is the fruit of the named species, not a claim about the cosmetic result of the ingredient.

What it does in a formula

BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER is listed with the functions SKIN CONDITIONING and VISCOSITY CONTROLLING. The first classification places shea butter among ingredients associated with skin conditioning, while the second refers to viscosity control within a composition.

Read together, those functions help explain why the ingredient can appear in a cosmetic formula. They do not, on their own, determine final texture, selected concentration or the effect of a particular package.

Conditions and care

This entry does not list a cosmetic restriction, maximum concentration, condition of use or other regulation for BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER. It also provides no accompanying text from which a limit of use for the substance could be established.
