Refined Organic Shea Butter
Starwest Botanicals Refined Organic Shea Butter is a sample of premium shea nut butter for creating skin and body care blends or direct application.
Botanical Name: Butyrospermum parkii
Shea Butter is derived from the Shea Nut (Butyrospermum parkii) of the karite nut trees in West Africa. It is physically extracted by boiling the nuts, and as the fat/oil rises, it is manually scooped off. It is bleached and deodorized, thus having a mild to nonexistent odor. It is a nonchemical process using natural clays and does not harm the material in any way.
What makes Shea butter an extraordinary skin care product is its precious constituents, which include unsaturated fats with a proportion of “unsaponifiables”components, essential fatty acids, phytosterols, vitamins and allantoin-all which are natural and make Shea Butter a superfood for both skin and hair.
About Our Topical Butters
Topical Butters are created from natural sources and they have a thick, nourishing consistency. Natural butters act as emollients, and they contain nutrients which can be easily absorbed into the skin. They are perfect for use in body and skin care recipes because of their abilities to nourish, rejuvenate, and moisturize the skin. Please note: Most topical butters are too hard to use alone and should be combined with an oil, which makes them easier to apply to the skin.
- We both manufacture and source only the finest quality products from highly regarded suppliers from all around the world, many of whom we’ve worked with for decades.
- Our In-house Quality Control Laboratory has experienced technicians to provide a complete and thorough product analysis of all of our topical butters.
- Our topical butters are all natural and have no added ingredients (unless otherwise noted).
