Words by Mikaël

A wonder of nature, butter is traditionally used to promote skin repair, protection and calm irritation.

Shea butter also has the quality of quickly penetrating into the skin.

Words by Anny Schneider

Thanks to its richness in  omega fatty acids of all types (3, 6, 9), and in  fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, F, Shea butter soothes  irritations, facilitates healing and regenerates dry skin  in depth.

It also restores shine to the hair by nourishing the scalp, while protecting the hair fibers.

Apply delicately with your fingertips, especially rub the tips and roots.

More information

The French name shea comes from the Wolof language of Senegal ghariti which means "butter tree".

This tree native to the savannah in West and Central Africa is found in about twenty countries on a strip extending over more than 5,000 km.
The creamy white flowers, very fragrant and appreciated by bees, appear in the dry season (between November and January) on leafless trees.

They produce green fruits in the form of clusters.

This large edible berry contains one, or even two, hard nuts similar to an avocado pit.

Shea is a tree of African origin from the Sapotaceae family which only bears its first fruits after 15 to 20 years.

From these whitish nuts is extracted the "butter" of shea which can contain up to 55% fat.
In West African countries, shea butter is traditionally used for food, health and care of skin and hair, in soap and for sacred rituals and ceremonies.
Raw shea has a relatively high content of vitamin E and antioxidants.

This butter is essential in your home care, it protects, softens and restructures the skin, and nourishes and restores shine to the hair.
