Shea Butter
INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
Function: Emollient
Benefits: Hydration
The Science: Shea Butter is a nourishing emollient extracted from the seeds of the Karité tree. Packed with antioxidants such as quercetin, epicatechin gallate, gallocatechin, and epigallocatechin, Shea Butter offers a range of skin benefits.
- Quercetin soothes the skin and helps reduce inflammation, aiding in the repair of irritated or damaged skin.
- Epigallocatechin promotes skin hydration and moisture retention, while also helping to reduce the formation of wrinkles and protect the skin from free radical damage, which can help reduce melanin production.
Rich in essential fatty acids like stearic acid and linoleic acid, Shea Butter deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, improving its elasticity and leaving it soft, smooth, and revitalized.
The Story: Shea Butter enhances moisture retention, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles while soothing inflammation for a smoother, more youthful complexion.
