Extracted from the Shea Nut, this Shea butter is highly refined, pure white, and has an extraordinary smooth texture. It is very soft and has no discernible scent to it. Shea butter contains vitamins A and E as well as essential fatty acids and other vitamins and minerals. Shea butter is an intense moisturizer for rough skin. Due to its emollient properties, it is a perfect ingredient to include in your body care recipes and skin care regime. It is also wonderful to use in the summer as a moisturizer before and after sun exposure.
