What is shea oil

Shea oil is the liquid part of the shea butter.

According to the melting point, we obtain the olein (liquid) and the stearin (solid). The active ingredient (anti-inflammatory action of the triterpen sterols ester) is more important in the liquid shea (9 % instead of 6 %). We add Grape seed Oil to increase the portion of EFA (20%). Shea olein is easy to use and can be apply on hair or body as a daily care.

Properties
