Shea Butter / Organic

Traditionally shea butters have been used throughout Africa in cooking and medicinal applications. Today the primary use of shea nut butter outside of Africa is in the cosmetic industry. The butter's unique fatty acid profile coupled with its high level of non-saponifiables, makes shea butter a highly effective emollient. Shea nut butter is also known to contribute to skin elasticity, and is said to have therapeutic and moisturizing properties.
