Butyrospermum Parkii Oil, olej shea
Shea oil
Shea oil is the liquid part of the butter from the nuts of the shea tree, which grows on the savannas of West Africa. Unlike the butter, it stays liquid at room temperature, spreads easily and does not set on the skin.
It is rich in oleic acid and also contains the unsaponifiable compounds typical of shea. It nourishes and softens the skin and limits water loss, which helps keep it hydrated, smooth and more elastic.
Thanks to its excellent glide, it is perfect for massage - you will find it in our body massage oils.
Did you know?: Shea oil is obtained by fractionating shea butter - separating its liquid part from the solid one. This gives it the benefits of the butter in a light, oily texture.
