Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii), is a plant lipid extracted from shea tree nuts.
It is an excellent emollient (or skin-smoother) providing deep skin hydration and replenishment thanks to its high levels of fatty acids. It is adept at neutralizing free radicals thanks to antioxidant-rich vitamins A, E and F, and is also known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
