Shea Butter: Emollient Comfort for Silky, Nourished Skin

Botanical Name: Vitellaria paradoxa (formerly Butyrospermum parkii)

Botanical Description: Shea is a deciduous tree belonging to the Sapotaceae family, native to West Africa.

Cosmetic Benefits: Shea butter is rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, which help moisturize, nourish, and protect the skin. It has emollient properties that help soften and smooth the skin, reducing dryness and roughness. Shea butter also has anti-inflammatory and healing properties that can help soothe irritation, reduce redness, and promote skin healing, making it beneficial for various skincare concerns.

Scientific Overview: Shea trees produce small, round fruits containing a nut with a high-fat content. The nuts are crushed, roasted, and processed to extract shea butter, a rich, creamy substance widely used in skincare.

Cultivation and Harvest: Shea trees are cultivated in the savannah regions of West Africa for their nuts. The nuts are harvested when ripe and then processed to extract the shea butter.
