Organic Shea Butter

Derived from the Shea nut tree, also known as the tree of life, shea butter has been in use for a long time now, to aid numerous conditions of the hair and skin. The tree is found in the western regions of Africa, where the nuts from the fruits of the tree are dried, ground, and boiled in water, to extract shea butter. This is the traditional way of extracting shea butter. On the other hand, in today's time, a lot of companies use chemicals in the process of extraction, and refine the end product to a point where it is devoid of its natural scent and color, and can be stored for a longer period. Organic shea butter on the other hand is not refined, and is derived using the method of cold press extraction. This pure butter has a strong nutty scent and a soft texture. The reason it is considered better is because its therapeutic properties are not altered in the process of extraction and because it remains unrefined. As such, it is known to be more effective than its refined counterparts.
