Shea butter is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Shea butter is a popular ingredient in nourishing creams and soaps. It treats and repairs the skin like no other product can.
African shea butter, handmade in the traditional way
For thousands of years women have been extracting shea butter from the nuts of shea trees, which grow across the African savannah. These trees don’t grow on plantations, the nuts are wild picked. This traditional production method results in a shea butter of the highest quality.
Fatty acids that treat your skin
Butterwise’s shea butter is the best you can find. This shea butter contains many fatty acids, such as oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, behenic acid, and palmitic acid. The unique fatty acid profile of this shea butter, coupled with the butter’s high level of non-saponifiables, makes a highly effective emollient. This is especially beneficial for very dry skin and improves elasticity. Shea butter is also rich in vitamin F, a vitamin that helps repair the skin. And since we’re name dropping anyway, shea butter also has an official Latin name: Butyrospermum parkii butter.
