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.
