Shea butter is a natural product. It is a creamy-colored fatty substance made from the nuts of karite (SHEA) nut trees (Butyrospermum parkii or "butter seed") that grow wild in the Savannah regions of West and East Africa. Shea butter it is well known for its exceptional dermatological and cosmetic healing properties.
Shea nuts are extracted then cracked, grilled and pounded to extract the butter which is then boiled in water until the fresh Shea butter rises to the surface. It is then scooped and left to cool and set, no chemicals or synthetic substances are needed at any stage. The final product is the raw Shea butter, or is called "unrefined Shea butter"Remember that all Shea butters are not the same!
All Shea butter are not the same. Shea butter loses healing properties the longer it sits on the shelf which causes old Shea butter to be much less beneficial. Highly processed Shea Butter will not be as effective. Some companies mix Shea butter with other ingredients that reduce its benefits.
-Be aware of very inexpensive products that claim to provide the full benefits of Shea butter. -
