Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

INCI Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Emollient / Occlusive Hydration & Barrier

What it is & what it does

Shea Butter is a rich emollient and occlusive butter containing fatty acids and unsaponifiable compounds.
It softens very dry skin and reduces moisture loss by reinforcing the oily film at the surface. The unsaponifiable fraction also contains compounds with soothing/antioxidant potential, but the strongest everyday benefit is barrier comfort.

Usage & cautions

Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
