East African Shea Butter – Pure, Powerful, and Distinctly Different
Experience the next level of natural skin and hair care with 100% Pure East African Shea Butter, a rare variety sourced from the lowland regions of Tanzania and Uganda. This luxurious butter is cold-pressed from the nuts of the East African shea tree (Vitellaria nilotica), creating a creamy, ultra-smooth texture that melts effortlessly into the skin.
Key Benefits
-
Ultra-Light & Fast Absorbing – Unlike traditional West African shea butter, East African shea butter is naturally softer and creamier, absorbing quickly without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.
-
Rich in Oleic Acid – With a higher oleic acid content (up to 60%), it penetrates deeper layers of the skin, offering superior hydration and long-lasting moisture.
-
Natural Skin Therapy – Helps soothe dryness, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines.
-
Nourishes Hair & Scalp – Softens and protects hair, locking in moisture and promoting shine.
