Shea Butter
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter · Butyrospermum Parkii Butter · Butyrospermum ParkiiBarrier
A rich plant butter that softens and helps seal in moisture — a staple emollient in balms, body creams, and barrier-support formulas.
What it does
Shea butter is pressed from the nuts of the African shea tree and is high in skin-softening fatty acids plus minor amounts of vitamins and unsaponifiables. It is an emollient with a partly occlusive quality, so it smooths the skin and helps slow water loss, which is why it anchors many rich moisturizers and balms. It is well tolerated and works as a nourishing base rather than a targeted active.
Also known as
shea butter, butyrospermum parkii
