ea Butter is an excellent emollient for both skin and hair care 
applications.  Shea Butter is extracted from the fruit of the 
Shea Butter Tree (Butyrospermum Parkii) and the resulting oil is 
refined by a mechanical process.  This process goes through 
several steps in order to improve flavor, color and oxidative 
stability.  Shea Butter consists mainly of oleic and stearic 
acid triglycerides and a large fraction of unsaponifiables (12%) 
rich in phytosterol esters.


For sensitive, dry and aging 
skin Shea Butter has gained considerable interest because of its 
unique characteristics.  Shea Butter is naturally rich in 
vitamins A, E & F which are essential for good skin balance. 
Shea Butter can act as an anti-inflammatory and helps prevent 
irritation from sunburns, tiny cuts and scrapes.  Because of 
shea butter healing properties it is beneficial in cell 
regeneration and capillary circulation.

The melting point of 
Shea Butter is close to body temperature and it is therefore 
easy and pleasant to use.  Karite-one leaves a satin finish to 
the skin and improves suppleness. Its continuous use gradually 
helps diminish the appearance of premature wrinkles and fine 
lines.  It can also be used during pregnancy to keep skin 
elasticity, making stretch marks much less noticeable.
