Shea butter is a naturally occurring fat that comes from the nut of the karate tree.
Shea butter is very gentle. In fact, it’s so gentle that it’s used in baby massage in Africa. It is also an emollient, very moisturizing, softens the skin, and helps aid in the absorption of active ingredients. Shea butter is a more light weight alternative to cocoa butter.
