Natural Shea Butter

The universal emollient and bioactive range from nature

From ancient times, Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii) has been known as an excellent source of natural emollients and moisturizers in cosmetics and skin care. Originating from West Africa, it is now used worldwide in skin care as well as in hair and personal care products from body lotions to body butters as well as in hair products like shampoos and conditioners

All the way from tree to customer

Not all Shea Butters are the same. Our Shea Butter comes from a sustainable source in West Africa where 110,000 Shea trees have been certified. Women from these villages traditionally collect these Shea kernels and then process them to butter, all this while improving the women living conditions

What makes Shea Butter special?

Shea butter is characterized by its high content of unsaponifiable lipids and anti-inflammatory components that in combination with the semisolid consistency, contribute to retain the elasticity of the skin leaving an excellent feeling and a long lasting moisturizing sensation
