Shea Butter made from nuts of the Karite tree that lives in West Africa, shea butter is an ingredient that has provided many benefits to beauty and care products. Shea butter’s abundance of fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals make it an excellent moisturizing product. This butter pairs well with other ingredients to enhance wonderful lotions, but shea butter can also be used on its own. Shea butter is an emollient, which means that it’s a skin-softening agent.
Shea butter comes in a variety of colors denoting purity, with yellow being raw and varying shades of white being refined. The butter has many uses, most commonly in cosmetics where people buy it for its moisturizing and soothing effects.
The main use of shea butter is in manufacturing hair and skin products; however, small amounts of the butter can be found in soaps because of its non-saponifiable elements. While some artisan soaps contain more than 25 percent shea butter, commercial brands avoid this because of the expensive cost. Some people with dry skin use shea butter-derived soaps to relieve irritation. Shea butter can be found in cooking oil, wax for waterproofing, hair design, and candle making.
