Shea Butter

Butyrospermum parkii (syn vitellaria paradoxa)

Studied Properties

After being extracted from the shea nut, the appearance of virgin shea nut butter is a pale, tan yellowish color that carries a characteristic odor. Virgin shea butter is a soft solid at room temperature with a melting point ranging from 89-113 degrees Fahrenheit. The unique fatty acid profile coupled with the butter's high level of non-saponifiables, makes it a highly effective emollient.
