Shea butter is a natural plant-based fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, which grows mainly in West Africa. It has an ivory or pale yellow color and is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, as well as essential fatty acids.
Widely valued for its moisturizing, healing, and protective properties, shea butter is used in cosmetics, hair care, and traditional medicine. It deeply nourishes the skin, soothes irritations, protects against cold weather, and helps prevent skin aging. On hair, it adds shine, softness, and reduces breakage.
