Shea butter

Shea butter is a natural fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, Vitellaria paradoxa, which grows widely across West Africa. It is known for its rich, creamy texture and is commonly used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products.

Traditionally, shea butter is produced by collecting, drying, roasting, and processing shea nuts to extract the butter. The finished product ranges in color from ivory to pale yellow and has a smooth consistency with a mild, nutty aroma.
