Product description Shea butter unrefined Shea butter is made from shea nuts that grow only in Central and West Africa. The nuts are still traditionally collected today by women and small cooperatives. In Africa, the use of shea butter is far behind, e.g. as protection against hot winds from the Sahara. Shea butter is available in both unrefined and refined form. Unrefined shea butter is traditionally produced? The dried nuts are peeled and the pulp is crushed. The resulting mass is roasted, giving the product a pleasant smoke smell. The nut marrow is then boiled in water until the fat rises to the surface. The resulting mass is placed in a colander to drain and allowed to solidify. The result is a firm butter with a yellowish-beige colour. It still has a strong nutty aroma. Unrefined shea butter has a high proportion of unsaponifiable ingredients (triglycerides, oleic acid, triterpene alcohols, vitamin E, beta carotene, allantoin) and is therefore particularly interesting for skin care. The proportion is between 8-11% - compared to avocado oil 6%, sesame oil 1.5%, olive oil 1.2%. Shea butter mainly contains long-chain, saturated fatty acids, main ingredients are oleic acid (40-55%), stearic acid (35-45%), linolenic acid (3-8%) and palmitic acid (3-7%). The unsaponifiable ingredients are assigned great dermatological and cosmetic importance thanks to the skin-friendly, nourishing and protective properties. This is especially true for use on dry, low-fat and water-poor, often strongly flaking skin, such as from occupational damaged skin or old age skin. Numerous external and internal influences on the skin, e.g. sun rays, require care with selected natural substances such as shea butter.
