Shea Oil is produced through the natural processing of shea butter, traditionally harvested by the women of Burkina Faso. It retains the valuable properties of shea butter while offering a lighter texture and easier incorporation into cosmetic formulations.
Although rich in consistency, Shea Oil is rapidly absorbed by the skin, leaving a silky, velvety finish without a heavy or greasy feel. It is an excellent natural alternative to synthetic silicones, providing immediate moisturisation and a healthy, radiant glow.
Rich in Vitamins A, E and F, it helps nourish and protect both the skin and hair. It is especially suitable for sensitive skin while improving hair softness, smoothness and manageability.
Properties: Moisturising, emollient, nourishing, protective and conditioning for both skin and hair. Provides a silky finish and natural radiance while serving as a natural alternative to synthetic silicones.
Recommended Uses: Facial serums, day creams, dry body oils, body creams, sunscreens and after-sun products, hair conditioners, hair oils, cleansing milks, massage oils and a wide range of face, body and hair care formulations.
Recommended Dosage: 1–100%, depending on the intended application and formulation.
