Used on the hair, it provides shine and suppleness. Key ingredient: Shea butter from certified organic farming. Shea butter is obtained from the kernels of the fruits of the shea nut tree (Butyrospermum parkii). Shea nuts grow very slowly, reaching up to 15 m in height and over 300 years old. They thrive mainly in West Africa and Sudan. The seed is reminiscent of chestnuts and has 45-48% fat. Obtaining shea butter is a multi-step process that begins with harvesting the fruit. The seeds must then be removed from the pulp, cooked, dried and then sorted. The nuts are then crushed, roasted and ground. The shea butter can finally be pressed from the ground material. Shea butter is rich in stearic acid and oleic acid and is characterized by the fact that it is easily tolerated by any type of skin. This is due to the high proportion of unsaponifiables. Shea butter leaves the skin supple and has a long-lasting moisturizing effect, deeply nourishing.
