The thousand virtues of Shea Butter

Shea Butter

LATIN NAME: Butyrospermum parkii
PROPERTIES: nourishing, protective and elasticising

Shea butter is a beauty remedy that African women have used since time immemorial. It is extracted from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, which belongs to the Sapotaceae family. Not only is it rich in sterols, tocopherols and vitamins A, B, E and F, it is also renowned in the cosmetics industry for its ability to nourish and protect the skin and hair. Moreover, the butter that we use in our Laboratories is sourced sustainably and is produced by local communities in Burkina Faso.
