Our organic (refined) shea butter is produced from the Karite Nut tree which is grown only in Africa. The gentle vegetable oil that is produced comes from the fruity part of the nut when it is crushed. It is a lovely moisturiser and is often added to soaps and creams to create an extra luxurious product. Shea butter may promote cell regeneration and we use it whenever we get the chance to add it to products.
