Shea Butter (Dark)

INCI: Butyrospermum parkii Butter

Description: Shea Butter is extracted from the shea nut and has a yellow, buttery colour with a rich, creamy aroma. Shea Butter is hailed for its healing, protecting and moisturising properties. Rich in cinnamon acid, it also protects the skin from UV rays and therefore can be included in skin care products for after sun care. The first choice in natural skin care and fine body care products, this butter forms a breathable, water-resistant film and is the leading natural product for moisturising.

Skin Type: All skin and hair types but particularly for dry, mature skin and hair

Recommended Usage: It is oil soluble (not water soluble) and is usually incorporated via the oil phase when preparing emulsions. It has no known incompatibilities.

Storage: It should be stored in a cool dark place and has a shelf-life of up to 24 months from opening when stored properly.
