Product Function

Imbue™ Shea MB is a novel emulsion concentrate, designed to offer a wide range of possibilities in cosmetic formulations. With a high internal phase, this ingredient enables the creation of sprayable systems, luxurious lotions, wet wipe solutions, and more, requiring only minimal additional ingredients. Imbue™ DP can craft moisturizing cleansers, refreshing toners, revitalizing serums, and nourishing lotions/creams all with exceptional ease.
