Shea butter

Shea butter is made from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), which grows on the savannas of West Africa. It is solid at room temperature, but softens on contact with the skin and spreads easily.

It is rich in fatty acids (oleic and stearic) and an unsaponifiable fraction containing natural phytosterols and vitamin E, among others. It forms a delicate protective layer on the skin, limits water loss, and nourishes and softens rough skin.

In our cosmetics, shea butter enriches body balms, lip balms, soaps and bath bombs. In hair care products, it smooths strands and makes detangling easier.
