Shea Butter

A Rich Natural Moisturizer That Nourishes, Protects, and Softens Skin

Shea Butter is a deeply nourishing, plant-based fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree. Rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, it is widely used in skincare for its ability to hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin’s barrier. Its creamy texture and gentle nature make it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin.

What is Shea Butter?

Shea Butter is a natural emollient obtained from the kernels of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, native to West Africa. It contains high levels of vitamins A, E, and F, as well as oleic and stearic acids—nutrients that help maintain skin health, improve elasticity, and protect against environmental stress.

Key Benefits in Skincare

• Deeply moisturizes and softens skin
  Restores moisture and prevents dryness by forming a protective barrier on the skin’s surface.
• Soothes irritation and inflammation
  Naturally anti-inflammatory, it calms redness, itching, and sensitivity—ideal for eczema, sunburn, or post-shaving care.
• Improves skin elasticity and texture
  Helps enhance skin smoothness and resilience, reducing the appearance of rough patches or dry lines.
• Supports skin barrier repair
  Strengthens and protects the skin’s natural barrier, locking in hydration and shielding against external irritants.
• Antioxidant-rich protection
  Contains Vitamin E and polyphenols that help fight oxidative stress and signs of premature aging.
