Export-grade Tengkawang fat sourced from wild-harvested Shorea spp. nuts. Full Certificate of Analysis, fatty acid profile, and MSDS provided on request for every lot.
Tengkawang fat is supplied in multiple grades and finished forms to serve the cosmetic, confectionery, and eco-lifestyle industries from a single traceable supply chain.
Tengkawang trees fruit on a natural masting cycle of roughly 3–7 years, meaning supply is seasonal and quantities are limited per cycle. We work directly with indigenous Dayak communities who wild-harvest fallen nuts, ensuring zero tree felling and verifiable zero-deforestation supply chains. Early reservation and forward contracts are recommended for large volume buyers.
Tengkawang grows exclusively in the primary rainforests of Borneo — one of the oldest and most biodiverse ecosystems on earth. Each region produces Shorea nuts with subtly different fatty acid compositions influenced by microclimate and species variety.
The largest wild Tengkawang harvesting region, home to multiple Shorea species including S. stenoptera and S. pinanga. Deep primary forest coverage supports large nut yields during masting cycles. Primary source for cosmetic and CBS-grade fat.
Remote interior forests at higher elevation yield Tengkawang with slightly higher stearic acid content. Indigenous Dayak communities here maintain generations-old harvesting knowledge and fair-trade cooperative structures.
Rich in Shorea beccariana and S. seminis. Proximity to established export infrastructure at Balikpapan port makes East Kalimantan a strong source for container-load orders with competitive lead times and reliable logistics.
A transparent, traceable supply chain ensuring every shipment carries verifiable zero-deforestation provenance and meets international cosmetic, food, and sustainability standards.
Dayak community gatherers wild-collect fallen Tengkawang nuts from primary forest floor during masting season. No tree felling. GPS-tagged harvest zones documented for each lot.
Nuts are sun-dried at source to reduce moisture, then cold-pressed or expeller-pressed to yield crude Tengkawang fat. Pressing is done at community-level facilities, maximizing local value addition.
Crude fat is RBD-refined (Refined, Bleached, Deodorized) and optionally fractionated to target melting point for cosmetic or CBS specification. Certificate of Analysis issued for every refined lot.
Full compliance package prepared: COA, fatty acid profile, MSDS, phytosanitary certificate, zero-deforestation declaration, and certificate of origin. FCL and LCL available via Balikpapan, Pontianak, or Surabaya.
