Shea Butter -
Naturally Pure and Unrefined
Shea
Butter is a
cherished African ingredient, is beneficial to everyone who
needs an extra boost of moisture for their skin. It is perfect for extremely
dry skin, and it is often used in shampoo as well for those suffering from
dry scalp. The butter can also soothe rashes and sunburns, soften the tough
skin found on the bottom of your feet, and even prevent stretch marks during
pregnancy. These are only a few of Shea butter’s uses, and both
dermatologists and everyday consumers agree it a valuable member of the
skincare family. Try some for yourself.
Our Shea butter is imported directly
from Africa and is a most beautiful creamy butter that is made traditionally
under fair trade and organic guidelines. Our Shea butter is not
extracted using harmful chemicals, bleached, or deodorized. There are no
added preservatives, yellow coloring agents or other additives in our
unrefined Shea butter. It is made fresh in its purest and most natural
state.
