INCI Butyrospermum Parkii Oil

Emollient Oil Hydration & Barrier

What it is & what it does

Shea Oil is the liquid oil fraction derived from shea and acts as a nourishing emollient.
It supplies fatty acids and unsaponifiable components that soften rough skin, reduce dry feel and support moisture retention. Compared with Shea Butter it usually feels lighter, but its core benefit is still barrier comfort and emollience.

Usage & cautions
