Packaging of 100g (or 500g & 1kg) containing Shea Butter. Shea Butter is derived from the processing of the fruit of the Vitellaria Paradoxa tree, which is found in West and Central Africa. The tree begins to produce fruit, which resemble large plums, when it reaches the age of 10-15 years.

Shea Butter seems to have been known since the time of Ancient Egypt, as there are texts mentioning its transportation by caravans. Its name comes from the Senegalese word ghariti, which describes the tree and was rendered in French as "karité".

Shea Butter consists of 5 plant fatty acids, with stearic (Stearic Acid) and oleic (Oleic Acid) fatty acids representing 85-90% of its composition. Its high content of plant fats gives Shea Butter amazing moisturizing properties. Its use increases the elasticity of the skin and helps maintain natural moisture.

Shea Butter is particularly rich in phenolic compounds, which exhibit strong antioxidant action. Of the 10 phenolic compounds contained in Shea Butter, 7 are catechins, which are also found in Green Tea. Catechins are believed to enhance the skin's defense against external conditions such as pollution and solar radiation, while also acting as anti-aging agents by combating free radicals.

Shea Butter contains vitamins E and A, which exhibit antimicrobial action and are valuable allies of the skin in dealing with irritations, infections, and eczema. Shea Butter is "solid" at room temperature. However, it "melts" immediately when it comes into contact with the skin, providing deep and effective hydration instantly.
