Product Details

Shea butter is a wonderful healing agent derived from the fat of the nut of the African Shea tree. It has a variety of benefits especially in regards to skin and hair care. It is solid at room temperature, but can be carefully heated to a softened or liquid state. Our Shea Butter is certified organic, 100% pure, and is extracted using a hand-held expeller machine. No chemicals or supplementary heat are used in the process so its nutritional and therapeutic benefits are totally kept intact.
