Pure Body Butter 90g - Shea Butter

Product Overview

Pure Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), 90g. One ingredient. Shea butter is pressed from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, which grows across a belt of sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to Uganda. Unrefined shea has a dense, slightly waxy texture that melts on contact with skin warmth, and a faint, characteristic nutty scent. It has been used as a skin and hair treatment across West Africa for centuries.
