Shea Butter
A Rich and Soothing Base
Shea Butter is great at softening the skin without clogging pores and has excellent healing qualities as well as improving skin elasticity.
Shea butter is a deeply moisturising and nourishing staple in aromatherapy, known for its rich texture and soothing properties. Packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids, it helps to hydrate and protect the skin, leaving it soft and supple. Its subtle, nutty fragrance blends seamlessly with essential oils, making it an excellent base for creating calming, therapeutic treatments. Shea butter is especially beneficial for dry or irritated skin, offering long-lasting moisture and a luxurious feel, perfect for enhancing your relaxation rituals.
Extracted from the kernels of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Shea butter is composed of triglycerides with oleic, stearic, linoleic, and palmitic fatty acids, as well as unsaponifiable compounds. Shea butter is frequently used in the cosmetic industry due to its high percentage of the unsaponifiable fraction (e.g., triterpenes, tocopherol, phenols, and sterols), which possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
