Description
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii) is obtained by cold pressing of the fruits (seeds) of the karit tree followed by a full refining process. During the pressing of the butter, a liquid fraction appears as Shea oil which offers an exceptional skin feel.
Shea is well known to assist cutaneous dryness, dermatitis and dermatoses, eczema, solar erythema and burns.
Suggested uses:
Use from 3% to 20% in creams and lotions, soaps and balms, or 100% pure as a moisturizing serum or massage oil.
Use it in lip balms, body butters, soap and other toiletries where you might prefer a liquid oil rather than solid shea butter. This oil can be used straight as a massage oil or can become part of a massage oil blend.
