Introduction: the secrets of organic Shea Butter
Welcome to the wonderful world of organic shea butter, a flagship ingredient in natural and ethical cosmetics. Derived from the shea tree (Vitellaria Paradoxa), this product with multiple virtues has long been considered the "green gold" of West Africa. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, shea butter offers an ideal solution for caring for your skin, hair, and even your body in a respectful and sustainable manner.
Artisanal extraction of organic Shea Butter
The extraction of organic shea butter is a meticulous ancestral process entirely carried out by hand by the women of West African villages. It all begins with the harvesting of shea nuts, a laborious task that takes place during the dry season between May and July. After sun-drying, the nuts are cracked open using a wooden mortar and pestle to extract the kernels. These kernels are then roasted to facilitate the extraction of their precious oil.
The transformation of the kernels into shea butter then requires continuous pounding before proceeding to the final shaping. This traditional method, free from any chemical solvents, guarantees the authenticity and integrity of organic shea butter. Thus, each jar contains the entire artisanal know-how and the love of African women for their sacred tree.
The unsuspected benefits of organic Shea Butter
Rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and stearic acid, organic shea butter possesses unparalleled moisturizing, nourishing, and regenerating properties for the skin. Its high content of vitamins A, E, F, and antioxidants like quercetin also gives it a protective power against skin aging and external aggressions.
Used pure or integrated into various organic cosmetic products such as solid soaps, face creams, or cleansing milks, shea butter offers a multitude of benefits for hair, face, and body.
