Shea butter is a solid fatty oil that is derived from the nuts of the Karite trees (also known as Mangifolia), predominantly found in Africa. The Karite tree bears the fruits and the nuts inside the fruits contain shea butter. The nuts are then crushed, boiled, and manipulated in order to extract a light-colored fat, which is commonly referred to as shea butter.

Shea butter penetrates the skin easily without clogging the pores and is suitable for all skin type. It is rich in unsaturated fats, essential fatty acids, Vitamins A, D, E and F.  It also provides the extra moisture, nutrients and protection needed by the skin during winter and summer.

It is one of the best anti-aging and moisturising agents for the skin because it stimulates the production of collagen; the protein substance that holds the whole body together.

The vitamins A and E keep the skin supple, nourished and radiant and prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines, while Vitamin F is a vital ingredient in maintaining the skin’s elasticity.

Thus, the application of shea butter restores the elasticity of the skin and helps maintain an even skin tone, besides hydrating, softening and beautifying it.
