About

Rich, intensely moisturizing butter pressed from Trichilia roka tree seeds

Trichilia roka seed butter is obtained from a Meliaceae family tree native to Africa. It contains myristic, lauric, and palmitic acids as primary fatty acid components. It is used in traditional African cosmetics and food, but has limited documentation in EU CosIng or international cosmetic regulatory databases. It is not listed on any EU restriction annexes. The limited data on international use contributes to a slightly lower safety score.

  • Emollient properties suitable for dry skin
