Shea Butter

INCI: BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER
Effect: nourishing, antioxidant

Shea butter is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. This vegetable butter has been prized for centuries in Africa for its many skin care benefits. Shea Butter is extremely moisturising and helps hydrate dry, rough skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin that prevents moisture loss. The vegetable butter leaves a nourishing film on the skin, which has a replenishing effect. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, which protect against free radicals as well as premature aging of the skin. At the same time, copper and manganese support cellular respiration as well as cellular energy. Thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, shea butter is ideal for soothing irritated or inflamed skin.
