Shea butter

Butyrospermum parkii

A powerful moisturising ingredient, shea butter is a natural pearl-coloured fat extracted from the fruit of the shea tree in Africa, where it has been used as a moisturising ingredient for the skin as well as in cooking for thousands of years. This unctuous butter is now an essential ingredient in cosmetics, thanks to its rich and intensely nourishing texture that is particularly compatible with our skin. In cold climates such as Sweden, shea butter's exceptionally moisturising and repairing qualities are highly appreciated.

Key Benefits

Intensely nourishing and repairing, thanks to the fatty acids and Vitamin A and E content of shea butter.
Shea butter is exceptionally high in lipids similar to those naturally present in the skin, which makes it particularly effective as a moisturiser.

In beauty, when it comes to fatty acids, more is definitely more, and shea butter has a high content of oleic, stearic, linoleic and palmitic acids, which are just a few of them.
