Shea Nut Oil

AnswerShea Nut Oil comes from the processing of the Butyrospermum Parkii tree (now known as Vitellaria paradoxa), which thrives in Central Africa. During processing, which yields the wonderful Carite butter, a percentage of the fruit appears in the form of oil – known as Carite oil.

Shea Nut oil, due to its molecular structure, has the property of penetrating deep into the skin. It surpasses the stratum corneum layer and penetrates to the base layer (the 5th in a row). The deep penetration of Carite oil offers perfect hydration and ideal absorption – it does not clog the pores and does not give the feeling of “oiled” skin.

Shea Nut oil is rich in nutrients as it contains vitamins A, E and F (found in omega-3 and omega-6 fat). It does not show any allergic reactions and is therefore the first to prefer to people with very sensitive skin. It can be used daily as a serum for hydrating the face.

Because of its penetration into the epidermis, Shea Nut oil is thought to positively contribute to cases of arthritis and muscular pain. It is the ideal oil for spreading and massage for people in bed.

Shea Nut oil is considered to have light antibacterial properties and in combination with its moisturizing and nutritional value, it is a valuable ingredient in hair care. You will find it in anti-dandruff products as well as hair hydration products.
