Made with our most popular soap recipe, the shea butter is ready to help you moisturize! Shea butter is in a lot of our products, including most of our From Scratch soaps, our Body Butter (coming back in October!), the Lotion Bars, and so much more!
According to Wikipedia, “Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. It is usually ivory in color when raw, with more processed versions being white in color. It is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, salve or lotion.” Shea butter has a long shelf life without the use of preservatives, as it lasts 12-24 months! It is also loaded with Vitamin F (or fatty acids) and is amazing for your skin, lips, beard, feet, hair, and more.
