Certified Organic Shea Butter (Refined)
Pure, Luxurious Hydration for Skin & Hair
Our Certified Organic Shea Butter (Refined) is a skin-nourishing powerhouse sourced from the shea trees of Burkina Faso, West Africa. Extracted through mechanical pressure and naturally refined to remove color and scent, this creamy, nutrient-rich butter melts effortlessly into the skin, providing deep, long-lasting hydration without a greasy finish.
Shea butter has been a skincare staple for centuries, renowned for its ability to soften, protect, and revitalize dry or damaged skin. Its high content of essential fatty acids and vitamins makes it an excellent ingredient for DIY skincare and professional cosmetic formulations.
