Butyrospermum parkii - Refined Also called Karite butter, from the fruit kernels of the shea nut tree. From West Africa, this natural butter has been used traditionally as a balm for minor burns, muscle aches, rheumatism and more. Valued by native peoples for hair care use. A fabulous skin softening emollient in any product it's added to due to it's unique fatty acid profile and characteristics. With typically up to 8% unsaponifiables, it is a soothing cosmetic ingredient and excellent additive to all kinds of soap. Shea butter can be incorporated into products at a small percentage, yet have a dramatic effect. In soap just a small amount can make a big difference in the feel. Can be used at 1% - 100%. Our fully Refined Shea Butter is perfect for those applications where low/no odour or colour is desirable, as well as no impurities. The butter is a fairly firm, pure white solid. Much firmer in hardness than the unrefined sheas. Shea nut trees are grown without the use of pesticides, so all our shea butter is organic in nature although not certified by a certifying body. For a completely raw, unrefined, dark gold shea butter that is as natural as you can get, please see our Raw Shea Butter. For a natural, unrefined, shea butter that has had some colour removed, please see our Natural Shea Butter. SAP value: 180.0 Product of West Africa.
