A moisturising powerhouse, shea butter is an ivory coloured natural fat, extracted from the shea tree’s nuts in its native Africa, where it’s been enjoyed as a beauty ingredient and cooking oil for thousands of years. The unctuous butter is a must-have ingredient in cosmetics today, thanks to its rich and intensely nourishing texture that is particularly compatible with our skin. In a cold climate like Sweden’s, shea butter’s exceptionally hydrating and restorative qualities are highly appreciated.

In beauty, when it comes to fatty acids, more is definitely more, and shea butter has plenty – oleic, stearic, linoleic and palmitic acid are just some of shea butter’s fatty acids.
