Organic shea butter

Shea butter, also known as shea butter, is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and provitamin A; it moisturizes the skin and keeps it smooth and supple. This one, being unrefined and unscented, brings the typical fragrance and is quite solid in consistency. After briefly warming in the palms, it becomes soft and spreads well. For the care of particularly dry skin as well as scaly or stressed skin areas.

The shea nut tree growing in the West African savannah has significant economic benefits in Africa. However, attempts to cultivate it have so far failed; moreover, it does not reach full yield until it is about 50 years old. Even when cleared for new fields, it is therefore usually spared and cultivated in so-called cultivated tree parks - the isolated trees with the crops grown underneath resemble a park landscape. Once a year, the shea nut tree produces fruits, from whose fat-rich kernels, the so-called shea nuts, you get the shea butter.
