For a moisturizer that nourishes and protects your skin like no other, try 100% Certified Organic East African Shea Butter as part of your daily skincare routine. Shea butter has been valued for thousands of years as one of the most important skin protectants, when the ancient Egyptians used it to protect their skin and hair from the scorching sun and dry, hot desert winds. The legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra, world-famous for her exceptional beauty, is said to have relied on shea butter to protect her body in the harsh desert climate. Shea butter’s popularity continues today, where it is widely used as an ingredient in hair conditioners, skin care creams and moisturizers.

What makes shea butter so incredibly effective is its unique fatty acid profile, which consists of about 40 to 60% oleic acid, with a significant amount of stearic acid and smaller amounts of palmitic and linolenic acids. This unique combination of fatty acids absorbs quickly into the skin, where its water-binding properties help retain moisture and protect against external factors, even in the harshest conditions. In addition, shea butter contains phenolic compounds with powerful antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radicals, keeping it young and radiant.

Our 100% Certified Organic East African Shea Butter is unprocessed and contains no artificial additives or solvents - just soothing, nourishing protection for your skin.
