Semillas de Karité

The Shea tree is wild and native from Africa. The elaboration of this butter is carried on by several groups of women that gather and wash the almonds to crush, toast, and grind them until getting a paste. This paste is heated and filtered to remove the impurities from it.

Our organic shea butter comes from the nuts of this African tree. It is totally natural and everyone can use it, from babies to elderly people. It can be applied on the face, body, hands, elbows, feet, knees, lips, and intimate areas.

The exclusive characteristic of Shea, the secret that turns it into a unique product, is its high content of «unsaponifiables» (from a 12 to an 18 percent), which are essential for improving the tone of the skin and to regenerate it and keep its elasticity.
