Unrefined Grade A shea butter for body butter and lotion in Brunei
Unrefined Grade A shea butter for body butter and lotion shipped from Lagos to Brunei.
Summary
Why this grade in Brunei
Brunei does not grow shea as a commercial crop. Unrefined Grade A shea butter for body butter and lotion is imported from West Africa. EMI Agro loads at Apapa and Tin Can Island for Muara (typical ocean range 32–50 days). MOH filings sit with the importer in Brunei.
Duty, documents and clearance live on the import guide for Brunei. Packs, quote basis and ports live on the supplier page.
Nigerian shea butter for Brunei
Brunei does not grow shea commercially. Bulk shea butter is imported from the West African belt. Muara serves Bandar Seri Begawan; Halal is a buyer expectation on edible fats. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Muara is the usual discharge.
Ask for a batch COA on a NIS 571:2013 basis: free fatty acid, peroxide value, moisture, colour and melting point. Reject lots that smell sharply rancid or pour like liquid oil at room temperature. MOH filings sit with the Brunei importer — they do not replace a COA.
Trial lots start at 5 tonnes; standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Send the request even if you need less — EMI Agro reviews every Brunei enquiry against current production of 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter and can schedule rolling shipments. Lead time is Ibadan production plus ocean time to Muara. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
Two questions. We show the grade, the documents that usually apply and the next step — we do not invent a price.
Recommended specifications for body butter and lotion
| Parameter | Target for body butter and lotion | Why it matters | Test method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slip melting point | Available on request | Defines the whipping window and the set of an anhydrous butter; batch drift of a few degrees changes texture noticeably. | AOCS Cc 3-25 |
| Iodine value | Available on request | Low unsaturation means slower oxidation — the headroom a 60–80 % shea product needs to reach month 18. | AOCS Cd 1-25 / Other Wijs |
| Peroxide value (PV) | Available on request | The starting point of the oxidation clock; high peroxide value shortens the finished product's stability window. | AOCS Cd 8-53 |
| Free fatty acid (FFA) | Available on request | Free acids raise rancid odour and can drift the pH of an oil-in-water emulsion over shelf life. | AOCS Ca 5a-40 / ISO 660 |
| Moisture and volatiles | Available on request | Anhydrous whipped butters carry no preservative; water in the fat is a microbial and hydrolysis risk. | AOCS Ca 2b-38 / ISO 662 |
| Unsaponifiable matter | Available on request | Basis for raw-shea positioning; retained in unrefined material. | AOCS Ca 6a-40 |
| Colour | Available on request | Sets the shade of a whipped butter; a band keeps batches consistent on shelf. | AOCS Cc 13e-92 |
