Shea Butter
also known as Karite Butter, comes from Central and West Africa where
the Shea/Karite trees grow in the wild. So far cultivating the trees has
been unsuccessful. The Karite tree produces almond like fruit and the
butter is pressed from the pits of the fruit. It is extremely
therapeutic, helping to heal dry, cracked, damaged or aged skin. It is
readily absorbed by the skin and is renowned for its moisturizing and
skin softening properties.
