Shea Butter Organic
Obtained from the fruit of Butyrospermum parkii, Shea Butter is a rich botanical butter traditionally valued for its nourishing, protective, and restorative properties. Its fatty acid profile is naturally high in oleic and stearic acids, which help reinforce the skin barrier, maintain hydration, and improve skin softness and suppleness.
Its creamy texture melts smoothly into the skin, providing lasting comfort and nourishment, while helping to soften and protect dry or rough areas. Unrefined Shea Butter is also prized for its naturally occurring unsaponifiable compounds, including antioxidant and skin-conditioning components that contribute to its soothing and protective qualities.
Ideal for dry, flaky, sensitive, or mature skin, as well as dry or brittle hair.
