Shea butter is a natural plant-based fat derived from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, native to the savannah regions of West and Central Africa. For centuries, communities have hand-harvested, sun-dried, and carefully processed shea nuts into a rich, creamy butter. Shea butter is a treasured skin care ingredient also known as Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.
This all-natural butter is renowned for its ability to deeply nourish and restore the skin. Its smooth, buttery texture melts easily upon contact, providing instant hydration and comfort. Shea Butter is rich in fatty acids (Oleic, Stearic, Linoleic, Palmitic) which helps provide long lasting hydration along Vitamins A & E which provide powerful antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental damage. Regular use of Shea Butter helps lock in moisture, soften skin, strengthen the skins natural moisture barrier and provide relief to dry, chapped skin.
Shea Butter’s versatility makes it a hero ingredient in skincare. From head-to-toe hydration to targeted relief, it delivers a unique combination of nourishment, protection, and rejuvenation. Its gentle moisturizing nature means it works well for all skin types—even sensitive skin—making it one of the most widely trusted natural moisturizers.
