Premium Ultra Refined
Shea Butter, also known as Karite, has been used by people in Africa for many years to nourish skin and hair and to ward off the effects of the sun and aging. Shea offers excellent emollience to all products and a must in Moisturisers and Soap. Shea Butter helps to protect the skin from harsh weather conditions, both the heat and scorching sun of summer and the drying cold winter winds. Shea is particularly useful for dry and aging skin types. Whipped Shea is a wonderful hair treatment that adds moisture and gloss.
Our Shea Butter is physically decolourised using organic clays (diatomaceous earth, aka "bleaching clays") to remove colour and impurities. The odour is removed via injection of steam to blow-off the volatile oils which contribute to shea butter's sharp, sometimes objectionable odour. There are no chemicals used to process our Shea Butter.
Our shea butter will start to melt on contact with the skin, making it an excellent choice for lip balms and lotion bars.
Suggested Usage Levels: Lotions & Creams: 3-5% Balms: 5-100% Bar Soaps: 3-6%.
WE DO NOT MELT OUR SHEA PRIOR TO PACKING, IT IS CARVED STRAIGHT FROM THE BLOCK, SO IT IS NOT GRAINY
