Shea butter
Nourishing Emollient & Barrier Support Lipid
What is Shea butter?
Shea butter is a natural lipid derived from the nuts of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), widely used in dermatological skincare formulations for its emollient and barrier-supporting properties. It is rich in essential fatty acids and bioactive compounds that help support skin hydration, improve barrier function, and enhance overall skin condition. Shea butter is commonly incorporated into moisturizers designed for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin due to its skin-conditioning and protective benefits.
