What is Shea Butter (Organic & Refined)?

Shea Butter hydrates, nourishes and protects your skin. It's a delightful ingredient to use in a body butter or lip balm, but thanks to its nourishing properties it's also suitable for scrubs and conditioners. In short: an essential ingredient for every beauty DIY enthusiast!

Shea Butter is extracted from the nuts of the Shea Tree (Butyrospermum Parkii). This tree is found in Africa, where women have been hand-crafting the nuts into Shea Butter for thousands of years.

Benefits

Deeply hydrating

Shea Butter is a source of essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, which keep your skin supple and hydrated. Vitamins A and E also contribute to the deeply hydrating effect of Shea Butter. No wonder this product is extremely suitable for dry and combination skin. Try incorporating Shea Butter into a scrub, so your skin is cared for and hydrated while scrubbing.

Cares for mature skin

Shea Butter keeps skin supple and hydrated and naturally contains vitamin A. This keeps your skin supple and elastic: a wonderful care treatment for mature skin.

Protects the skin

Additionally, Shea Butter contains plenty of Vitamin E, a vitamin that helps protect skin against free radicals. Shea Butter maintains your moisture balance and supports the skin's barrier function. Moreover, Shea Butter contains cinnamic acid.

How do you use it?

When you start making your own skincare products, Shea Butter is a must have ingredient. You can use it in the most diverse products: from lip balm to lotion bar and from salves to hair masks.

You can also apply Shea Butter directly to your skin. Apply some of the butter to your hand and gently massage it into the (scalp) skin or hair ends.

At room temperature, Shea Butter is fairly thick and sometimes even hard, but the butter melts directly on your skin and then penetrates deeply.

What's so special about it?

Shea Butter is a real superfood for your skin: it provides your skin with essential fatty acids and hydrates deeply. This keeps your skin looking supple and cared for for a long time. An essential ingredient for every beauty routine.
